Configure SPR’s and Port
Stackable Port Rings are a flexible and convenient way to support many different lenses.
They can be stacked in many combinations to support virtually any lens.
Stacking the right combination of SPR’s for a lens can be determined in two ways.
Gates Lens Compatibility Matrix.
Gates has gathered extensive lens data for
decades and can provide SPR configuration guidance for any given lens to use with
PRO ACTION. This lens data is summarized in a Compatibility Matrix. It can be
found on
Gates Website
.
The Compatibility Matrix is constructed to identify the proper Port Extender or Port
Ring (used on other Gates cinema-grade housings), and a conversion to the right
combination of SPR’s.
Visual Setup and Test.
Use the following guide to setup the SPR’s with a Dome
Port or Flat Port, and then test in water for acceptable image quality.
Stackable Port Rings – SPR’s
– are a simple 1/4 turn
bayonet mount system to support any lens. They lock in
position to provide a secure anti-rotation when mounting
or removing a port.
