The camera will need some means of
attaching a second dovetail to the top of
the camera.
A low mode handle clamp (P/N 802-
7417) works for some cameras, but
be sure the camera’s handle is strong
enough. Many plastic handles on video
cameras are inadequate, and a custom
cage or bracket is required.

mode bracketry might also provide
a means of mounting motor rods (or
a dovetail with motor rods), and this
system should not interfere with camera
functions or working with the camera in
high mode.
Most operators work with the low mode
bracketry and second dovetail in place —
ready to go at all times.
