Zac James Nicholson Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I came into possession of an analog microforce v+f when I purchased my XTR Prod a few months back. The unit didn't come with the articulating arm or the rock n' roller to attach the microforce to a tripod arm and I'm not currently willing to spend $1500 for those parts on something I wouldn't be able to collect much on rentals for within my kit. The unit does have a small dovetail plate on it though which made me wonder if there is an alternative way that I can connect it but I haven't had much luck in figuring out what that part would be. I've attached a photo and if anyone has any thoughts or ideas to DIY a solution, I'd be incredibly grateful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Gregory Irwin Posted January 30, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted January 30, 2020 I don’t recognize that part. I wonder if it belongs to a greater end. Try using pipe clamps from a hardware store to attach the MF. That’s how we did it in the old days! G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Jaeger Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 It fits to a pan handle extension like this: I don't know if it was a Preston product, or O'Connor or maybe Panavision. Not sure how you could DIY something similar. There are various brackets around for Microforces to attach to pan handles or rosettes by Wooden Camera or Shape, most popular is the Oppenheimer one I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac James Nicholson Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 Thanks Gregory and Dom, Dom, that is exactly what I was looking for! I know the chances of it showing up somewhere are probably somewhat low but I'll take a look. This particular one says Panavision on the side. Thanks again. If anyone should come across one, feel free to reach out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
