Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted March 13, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 uh...did you happen to try Tiffen for a bracket that might fit a Tiffen arm? for a 5/8th one try Pro...or any other manufacturer of arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fack? Pretty silly if it is true -- maybe you'll have to get a post adapter from Tiffen, flip them off as you walk out the door, drive 6 miles west to Pro and buy one of their j-brackets (or go visit Tom Gleason/Cine-Widgets for a d-angle). **just checked their site...can't Tiffen's f-bracket be used at the lower end of the arm post to make a j-bracket? Maybe they intend it to be used at the top with the gimbal handle upside down? For $425 it must do something special...anyone? rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think it can be used as a j bracket as is. you could drill through and insert a pin in double shear to hold it underslung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do own that thing(didn't know it was that expensive)and it does help a little bud it doesn't prevent lowmode.....especially with my length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
