kurt nolen Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi there. Stupid question requiring probably a short answer. I'm looking to get a backup sled and the 3a keeps popping up as a financially viable option (I really am talking about just an "Oh s#*t!" backup). At present I own a G-50 arm. Knowing nothing outside of having operated a modded 3A once for about 20 minutes, I need someone to tell me if the 3A sled is compatible with the G-50 arm. I searched for an answer to this before posting and didn't find one. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted February 27, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 the 3a gimbal yoke is 5/8" and the g50 arm uses a 3/4" post -- but you can make or buy adaptors for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted February 27, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Tiffen sells a proper quick-change adapter (although you could machine your own). The G-50's come with either .5, .625, or .740 inch adapter posts and it is easy to switch from one to the other. FYI, the G-70's typically have a .740 post, but there are alternate posts for .5 and .625 sized gimbals. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
