Acebil ST-7R Reviews

Potential

By Ron
Rated 2 out of 5
Date: 2020-10-03

This had the potential to be a great tool but is let done by not enough thought in the design as it doesn't sit on the shoulder like it should. It is quite heavy and it is terribly unbalanced when attaching it to a tripod. The base plate has to sit at it's forward most point. The only positive thing I can say is, it is slightly better than it is without it

HUGE

This thing is huge and very cumbersome!

Decent build quality, hardware could be improved

Decent build quality, but the hardware are really subpar for something at this price point. A VCT-14 plate is a must to properly mount this on a tripod. Way over priced. but really helps with shoulder mounting the rig.

Great way to shoulder mount a DVX200

By Jay

Very well-built and sturdy. Convenient BNC pass-throughs and lots of power tap options. I bought the cable to connect power from the V-Mount battery to the DVX200. Integrated V-Mount and power circuitry is a great feature and the battery does supply some counter-weight. I noticed another review mentioned that it is "HUGE." Logically, it must be (and is) a length that allows for the shoulder pad to be at the right distance from the camera to make viewing the LCD or viewfinder possible. Camera mounts to rig at both bottom and at top handle for a very secure, stable connection. 5 stars could be earned if it just had a way to add front grip handles/arms.

Asked by: Israel
We are not able to test this combination, cannot find any record of it and there is no listing that it can be done. Therefore we would be of the opinion that no, it will not fit the AG-UX90.

Is there a way to mount the panasonic batteries that come with the DVX200 onto some kind of V-Mount adapter?
Asked by: David
There is not, you would need to use a V-Mount battery with this system.

question

Is there a danger of breaking the camera with the battery v mount?
Asked by: Dominic D.
Once safely secured in this adapter, your camera should be better protected than on it's own. We do not see any particular danger to the camera coming from the V-mount battery.

question

Does this shoulder adapter include the DC-DVX200 cable to go to the camera or is that a separate purchase?
Asked by: Robert
This shoulder adapter will not include the DC-DVX200 cable. That is a separate purchase, which we offer as well.

question

Does this plug into the dc port to charge it from the V-Mount battery?
Asked by: Anonymous
We are of the opinion that AG-DVX200 batteries can only be charged in a separate charger; there is no battery charging in the camera that we can find. Thus the V-Mount battery is just supplying power. Panasonic and we suggest that you have a AC-DVX200 in the camera in case the external power is ever interrupted.

Will this fit the AG-UX180 also?

Will this fit the AG-UX180 also?
Asked by: Greg
We're afraid not. This system is configured specifically for the DVX200 and may not work properly with a UX180. We do not recommend it.
