Jordan Watson Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hey guys, I am wanting to purchase the Kessler Pocket Jib for my 5D Mark III. I am ordering a Sachtler ace accessories (matte box, follow focus and base plate) for my Sachtler Ace M tripod. Now, the crane only lets 100mm heads into the bowl, but the Sachtler head of mine is only 75mm. So is it possible to use the Sachtlers base plate and slide it into a 100mm Manfrotto headso I can still use all the accessories? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Watson Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Hi Brian, I originally posted this post in the Camera accessories forum, however I meant to post it to this one. I cannot figure out how to delete a post, if you could let me know that would be great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 2, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 2, 2014 I think you can delete a post, but maybe not a whole topic you've started. Anyway, not a big deal. To your question, dovetail plates are rarely compatible between tripods, but I think you can get bowl adaptors which would allow you to use your smaller Sachtler head on the crane's bowl mount.

Brian Drysdale Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 There are 75mm to 100mm adapters around.at a very wide range of prices. It's well worth looking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
