Product Information

Full details

This guide is for Sony FX6 camera users seeking enhanced control and ergonomic flexibility. The SHAPE Remote Extension Handle and Cable allows you to relocate your camera's handgrip, offering a significant benefit in comfortable operation during dynamic or shoulder-mounted shooting. A potential caveat is the reliance on the included LANC cable for remote functionality, which needs to be compatible with your camera's LANC port. This accessory features durable aluminum construction, ARRI rosette compatibility for versatile mounting, and adjustable extension with quick angle changes.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using this extension handle?

The primary benefit is improved ergonomics and control by allowing you to relocate your camera's handgrip to a more comfortable and balanced position, especially useful for shoulder-mounted setups or extended handheld use.

Does this accessory allow full remote camera control?

It allows remote control of functions typically available through the original handgrip via the included LANC cable. Full camera control capabilities depend on the LANC protocol and your camera's specific implementation.

What is the maximum extension length of the handle?

The handle can be extended telescopically from 14.2 cm up to 28 cm.

Is the LANC cable length adjustable?

The included LANC cable is coiled and extends from 25.4 cm to 50.8 cm, offering flexibility in placement.

Can I attach this to any camera rig?

You can attach it to any rig or support system that features an ARRI-standard rosette mount.

How do I adjust the angle of the handle?

You can quickly and easily adjust the angle by pressing SHAPE's patented push-button technology, allowing for tool-free adjustments.

What material is the handle made from?

The handle is constructed from durable aluminum for professional use and longevity.

Troubleshooting

Handle is loose after attaching to rosette

Ensure the ARRI rosette mount on your rig is clean and free of debris. Tighten the rosette locking mechanism firmly.

Remote functions not working

Verify that the LANC cable is securely connected to both the handle and the camera's LANC port. Confirm your camera is powered on and the LANC connection is enabled in the camera settings if applicable.

Telescoping arm won't lock in place

Check the ratcheting lever for any obstruction. Ensure the telescoping tube is clean and free of dirt or grit that might prevent a secure lock.

Push-button angle adjustment is stiff

Gently clean the area around the push-button mechanism with a dry cloth. Avoid forcing the button; apply steady pressure.
