question

If I want to mount my 5D on a car for very stable shots, would you recommend this product? Or something with more suction cups?
Asked by: Anonymous
This device should be more than equal to the task. It is rated for over 26 lbs. With most lenses a 5D weighs in at no more than 5-7 lbs. Matthews products have been used in feature films for years. They are engineered to be reliable.

question

I want to mount a gimbal head on the base of this item. The specific gimbal expects a standard 3/8 in post. Will that work?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, you can mount a 3/8 item on this 1/4 mount if you use a bushing like this:Oben 3/8 -16 to 1/4 -20 Reducer Bushing B&H # OB1039. Whenever using suction devices, always do what the pros do and apply a safety rope to the camera so damage is minimized if the suction breaks for any reason.

question

Hello is there any articulated arm that I could attach to this device to have better flexibility on camera position?
Asked by: Gian C.
We do not carry a articulated arm that would attach to the BH 20. The camera weight need to be over center for the ball head to work correctly.
