Q: 1. I've just bought this (from B&H - arrived today) and I want to check... Load capacity of 33lbs means total load capacity yes/no?Right now I have my rig and the rear weights loaded at 33lbs.

A: According to iFootage support the total load (camera rig PLUS counterweight) cannot exceed 15kg. As for a fully extended arm you need twice the counterweight, that means for full extension max camera rig weigh is 5kg.

Q: 2. This Beachtek unit has such a better layout than most of Beachteks other models, not to mention its very aesthetically pleasing. Its a little disappointing that they specify this unit as being engineered for one or two cameras in particular. Would this also be usable with a DSLR like the Canon 5Dmk3 or a small video camera like the Canon XC-10? Or are the higher quality components advantages only realized with the Alexa or a RED unit? Thanks in advance

A: It was designed withe ALEXA in mind: Line Out: 5-pin balanced output at +4 dBu.But there is no reason it could not be used with other cameras: Mic Out: 3.5 mm unbalanced auxiliary stereo output

Q: 3. Can you turn the volume down to negative infinity (zero) output to the camera?

A: The mic preamps on the DXA-Alexa when turned down fully passes no audio signal.

Q: 4. How do you monitor the signal on a Canon R5C with this unit?

A: In order to monitor audio through the Beachtek DXA-ALEXA Low-Noise Preamplifier, you will need to connect the camera's 3.5mm headphone output to the 3.5mm return jack (labeled "RTN" on the DXA-ALEXA, which is next to the unit's headphone jack (labeled "PHONES"), and then connect your headphones directly to the DXA-ALEXA.

Q: 6. I have a Miller set of sticks with 75mm ball mount. Will the crane fit onto these? There are no specs on the mounting options at the base of the jib.

A: Yes. It can mount to a 75mm ball mount as well as flat mount.

Q: 7. Will this jib fit on top of a tripod with a top plate diameter of 68mm?

A: The iFootage M1-III Mini Crane Jib Arm is intended for use with a tripod that has a bowl mount, of either 60mm or 75mm.

Q: 8. will this work on any v mount? not just red cameras?

A: The Wooden Camera Low-Mode Adapter for the RED DSMC2 V-Lock Expander should work with other cameras universally. However, Wooden says the following about the adapter: This assembly will attach without tools directly to the back of the RED®'s V-Lock Expander Module or the Element Technica V-Mount Module. Compatible with RED® DSMC2™ Brains (Monstro, Helium, Gemini), Weapon, Epic Weapon (Epic-W), Scarlet Weapon (Scarlet-W), Raven, and other DSMC2™ cameras. We would recommend this adapter for other camera models: Wooden Camera Pro V-Mount to Gold Mount Battery Adapter BH #WO259600

Q: 9. Will this work with a Canon R5C?

A: Yes. Although the Beachtek DXA-ALEXA Low-Noise Preamplifier is intended for use with the ARRI ALEXA Mini Camera, you can connect the 3.5mm mic output from the DXA-ALEXA to the 3.5mm mic input on the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera to record audio in the camera.

Q: 10. Im confused by earlier q&a in here,Is the max weight for camera rig 15kg alone, or 15kg included counterweights, which means around 7.5kg on each side?My rig weighs around 10kg.(Ursa Mini 4.6 with 70-200 2.8)

A: I spent a lot of time asking around on this one. I posted the original question. Some companies said they would check directly with iFootage, and I received opposing answers, both claiming certainty.I think we need clarity directly from iFootage about this.Think about it. If it's 15kg for the rig only, then their product might have to take double? to balance. Is it really that strong? And what about the difference between shortened and fully extended arm in terms of physical pressure.No. I still haven't been 100% certain of the answer.If you want, try it slowly. And monitor the structure very carefully.
