The ARRI Pro LWS Support Set for Sony F5/F55 provides all the basics needed to outfit a lightweight support system for your PMW-F5 or F55. This set includes an adapter plate, pair of 15 mm rods, shoulder pad, top cheese plate, CCH2 carrying handle, VFA-1 viewfinder adapter, and viewfinder plug. Both the top plate and handle include 3/8"-16 threaded mounts, and the top plate has a measuring tape stud lining up with the camera's "film plane."
Any 15mm rod-based accessory or lens support bracket can be mounted to the included rod pair. The Sony F5/F55 adapter plate has a built-in Sachtler quick release plate. To facilitate switching between handheld and tripod shots, the shoulder pad can remain attached while using the camera on a head. For increased viewing comfort, the VFA-1 viewfinder adapter is used to attach the EVF to any ARRI 3/8"-16 mount. The viewfinder plug protects the EVF interface from damage when the EVF is not attached.
The Sony Adapter Plate from ARRI is specifically designed to work with PMW-F5/F55 HD cameras. The bottom of the plate takes the form of a Sachtler Touch and Go plate for quick and easy mounting to a head. This plate will support a pair of lightweight 15mm rods (not included), enabling you to flesh out your camera rig with rod-mounted accessories.
Rosettes on both the right and left sides of the Sony Adapter Plate provide points for attaching a handgrip or other accessory. Anti-twist pins prevent the plate from slipping askew when attached to the bottom of the camera.
This pair of 9" ARRI Lightweight Support Rods feature lightweight stainless steel construction and are designed to reduce your rig's weight. Use them with any 15mm-based accessory or bridgeplate.
The ARRI Shoulder Pad for Sony PMW-F5/F55 attaches to the bottom of the camera, or to an ARRI baseplate. This pad offers a comfortable rest for your camera, enabling longer shooting times. When used with an ARRI baseplate, the pad can remain mounted to the camera, saving time when switching between handheld and tripod-based shots.
Use the Sony PMW-F5/F55 Top Plate from ARRI when you're looking to trick out your camera to best suit your needs. This plate provides multiple accessory mounts for your camera, and is compatible with an optional support for a pair of 15mm LWS rods. The cheese plate adds 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads on the top of the camera and is shaped to fit so that use of the original handle is maintained.
The ARRI VFA-1 Viewfinder Adapter is designed to mount a Sony PMW-F5 or F55 viewfinder to any ARRI 3/8"-16 interface. Used in combination with the ARRI top plate and handle, the VFA-1 enables you to configure the EVF in a more ergonomic position.
Expand your options for mounting HD camera accessories like monitors, transmitters, mic holders, French flags, etc., on your ARRI camera rig by using the ARRI CCH-2 Center Camera Handle. This sturdy carrying handle screws onto a UAP-2 adapter plate (available separately), and features multiple 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 threaded holes for attaching accessories. Designed for use with ALEXA M, ALEXA Mini, and AMIRA cameras, it will also work with many ARRI accessory-equipped third-party cameras.
Use the Viewfinder Plug Protector from ARRI to protect the EVF port on your Sony PMW-F5 or F55 camera. An ARRI Top Plate for F5/F55 (not included) is required to use this protector.
