A solid option for a horizontal arm

By Ken
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2022-02-25

I was looking for an arm that would allow me to do macro photography in places like a garden or where space was tight. I looked at this arm as well as Leofoto's HC-32. I wanted an arm that would hold a full-size DSLR and lens like Nikon's 105mm VR Macro. I also looked at a Vanguard tripod, but the Feisol is the arm that I kept. It is quite massive, stiff and heavy, and in this case, I find those to be good qualities for the task at hand. All of the controls allow a bit of friction control so you can easily loosen then just enough to allow you to make small movements, especially on the controls that raise and lower the arm. I am using this atop a set of Gitzo 3541LS legs, and pairs up well. I have mounted a Markins Q20 ballhead on the arm and plan to use a Nisi macro rail. It is best to use a counterweight, but in a pinch it can be used without one if you do not extend the arm fully, keep a tripod leg under the camera, and keep the legs open as wide as you can. There are not a lot of choices for arms like this, and while this is among the more expensive options, it is the sturdiest and the one I would trust with a full compliment of gear.

Good Studio Product

I'm using it with a 4' square light tent for product shots. It's well built, good rotating base and the post clamp works just fine. I have another horozontal arm for outdoor use that's much lighter. kbs

question

Please let me know the FEISOL VH-60 Horizontal Adapter Kit it has tilt?
Asked by: Michael
Yes, you can tilt this item. Please note this can only hold 12 pounds, and it is strongly advised to use a counterweight.

question

I am doing 1:1 macro and need ultimate stability for overhead shooting. Can this work on my Manfrotto 055CX legs with a Sony 90mm macro and Sony a7riii?
Asked by: Jason
The VH-60 is big, but it will fit the 055CX (I have this tripod). It is reasonably stable, I used it with a nikon d500 + 70-200 f2.8 for low level mounted on an upside down Acratech long lens head which in turn was mounted on an Acratech Ultimate head. There are limits and this will depend on the tripod (I use my RRS TVC-33 for greater stability) and a sandbag counterweight. Do not overtighten the locking handle, mine broke easily (Fisol were great and sent a replacement).

question

Will this work well with a RRS TVC 33s (shorter model) and will a RRS BH 55 mount fine on this arm?
Asked by: Jason
Yes, that should work well, Jason.

question

I recently bought this tripod in B&H (Manfrotto MK290XTA3-3WUS 290 Xtra Aluminum Tripod with 804 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head)Is this adapter compatible with my tripod?
Asked by: Yody C.
It should mount to any tripod with a 3/8 mount thread (which your tripod has). But as Michael A. alluded to, it has a pretty wide base diameter that will dwarf the base plate of your tripod. I believe other brands manufacture a similar product that may mate with your tripod a little better.
