David Williams Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I was curious and got 12Kg on mine with sled. Still plenty in the bicep, but the forearm just dipped. That's 26.4 in pounds. I'm looking into modding the lower spar now, as Charles suggested. I have a set of 15mm rails I can cannibalize, just need some more rail blocks and knock up some right angle bracket I can bolt onto the existing bottom bracket. It looks like the v-lock plates will unscrew and separate easily, so I just make some plates to bolt them onto and put a rail block on them. Then mount the monitor on another set above, on a rail block with a bracket like Charles's. Cinevate make some blocks that would be perfect. Should be not much more weight than the original setup.

Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted February 19, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ah, I'm glad to hear I misunderstood, I thought you put the weight directly on the arm. With the way I did it, I had to do it directly on the arm. I'm glad my arm holds up like the LE arms though! Huzzah! Mike, perhaps an Archer? |-)~ David, I'm jealous of your soon-to-be modifications, and your slightly beefier arm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mike Germond SOC Posted February 19, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Brian, I've heard rumblings that an EFP arm with blue springs would raise the capacity to 30lbs...I've got access to lathes and milling machines, so I could turn the post down to fit the Flyer's gimbal if that was an issue I just don't know where to go about finding an EFP arm! ps- MK-V has some attractive J/D box kits on their website.. ;) Edited February 19, 2009 by Mike Germond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Peter Hoare Posted February 21, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ive found that the Flyer will handle reasonable weights, the most ive ever had on mine was this: (the monitor didnt stay there, was just there whilst Jeff played with the noga arm). Flew fine though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
