PANAVISE 856-T Reviews

Unfinished product with some concerns ...

By Roger L.
Rated 3 out of 5

I first submitted this review 5 weeks ago, and it's still not posted, so I'm resubmitting it now: Mine just arrived, so this review is not based on use history; just on handling it after unboxing. It's aluminum, and feels moderately solid. It seems to work as intended, at the most basic level. But: (1) You have to tighten the extension lock a bit to get a definite hold versus a decent collapsing force (by hand). I'd expect it to hold light cameras fine. Heavy gear, maybe not. (2) The edges are unfinished. See pics. Not quite a razor edge, but sharp enough for metal that I'm leery. I'll take some sandpaper to them, then paint over the sanded rim with black automotive paint. So this is fixable, but should the customer have to finish the manufacturing job? (3) There is no flat side on either end to butt up tight against whatever you thread this too. So the compression force will be applied entirely on the thin metal edge. That's a good way to wear out / cut through whatever this mates to. My sanding the rim will only take off the harsh 90 corner. It won't create the missing flat wide base of each end, to better distribute the force. (4) The female 1/4-20 end is recessed: ~8mm before you even touch the female threads. So your mating male 1/4-20 needs to be at least 12mm long, preferably 15mm long. (4a) For reference, the male 1/4-20 on the other end is only 11mm long. (5) Not that I was planning to, but I would not expect to be able to mate two of these in series. Due to issues 3, 4, & 4a I expect such pairing to be just barely possible, but not reliable over time & use.

Good quality fits my needs

Panavise products never let me down. They are crafted with good quality machined construction. Never had a problem with Panavise products.

See any errors on this page?

Is there a female 1/4-20 at the base?

Is there a female 1/4-20 at the base?
Asked by: Roger L.
There are two 1/4-20 connections on this unit. At the top for any camera as well in the base to connect to another shaft.
