Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this foot fit in Nikon 600mm f4G? and will this foot fit the RRS BH-55 Ballhead with Clamp release?

A: For the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR Lens you need the Wimberley Replacement Foot for Nikon 400mm f2.8 and 600mm f/4.0 AF-S B&H # WIFN400. It will work with most Really Right Stuff clamps and ballheads.(The exception would be the RRS lever-release clamp.)

Q: 2. how many receivers can I use with one transmitter?

A: There is no limit to the amount of receivers usable with The Lectrosonics IFBT4 transmitter.

Q: 3. Can I mount this plate directly on Sachtler 0707 FSB-8 Fluid Head ?

A: Yes, the plate is tapped for both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 tripod mounting so it will work fine.

Q: 4. Will this replace the Nikon 300mm F2.8 VRII foot?

A: The AP-551 is the correct foot for the Nikon 300mm f2.8 VR-2 lens: https://bhpho.to/2wP2v1E

Q: 5. Can you control these panels with an app?

A: Yes. But one of the wireless transmitters & receivers system must be set in its place in order to function. Please review the following items https://bhpho.to/3wdN4fc

Q: 6. does the hdmi out still have audio or is it muted ?

A: I believe the answer is yes. I will tell you our scenario. The out to the extractor runs the video and audio to our projector. We are able to hear audio through our projector as well as the main sound system that the sound is extracted to. in essence, we have the option of listening to sound through the projector only or through the sound system only or both. Hope this information helps.

Q: 7. is it this suite for nikon 500mm fl f4 lens?

A: The foot you want for the Nikkor 500mm f4 fl is the Wimberley AP-551. This is the one I use on my 500 fl but I can’t find it on B&H anymore.

Q: 8. Can you use just one 1/4 output for all mic’s

A: The Samson Stage 412 Frequency-Agile Quad-Channel Handheld VHF Wireless System does provide a single mixed output for all four microphones, but it uses an XLR connector, not 1/4". If you need to connect to a 1/4" input, you can use an XLR female to 1/4" male cable.

Q: 9. Can i mount this plate directly on Sachtler 0707 FSB-8 Fluid Head ?

A: Yes, the plate is tapped for both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 tripod mounting so it will work fine.

Q: 10. Can I use my Godox AD200 Pro in this softbox? or do I need special mount? Thanks!

A: That specific softbox the Nanlite Forza 60 Softbox has a proprietary speedring and there is no adapter to use that with any other light.

[10.3 lb] Much better picture than using VCR for modulator and Radio Shack RF switcher. No lines much better picture. I only use Blonder-Tongue for modulators. 5

Douglas	22/09/2024
[7 lb / 3.2 kg] Extremely well finished and a perfect fit as to be expected from Wimberley. It is very low profile and unfortunately, doesn’t allow it to be used as a carry handle by most people. 5

Jack	21/09/2024
[7 lb / 3.2 kg] Very well made, using with Wimberly macro set up. 5

Scott Jetson	18/09/2024
[10.3 lb] Lectrosonics claims that their products are made by fanatics and I believe them. Outstanding performance and range that eclipse the bargain brands. Wide range of frequencies available and very easy to scan locally for clear freqencies. lectrosonics service (for a fee) can also re-block your frequency group unlike other brands. 5

[10.3 lb] I just got one of these to use in my Doom Metal Yoga class (yes, you read that right) and it has been fantastic. Easy to use, and surprisingly comfortable - I forget I'm wearing it, and the pack stays put, even in down dog. 5

Jonathan	03/08/2024
[10.3 lb] This will be used on a Video Assist card to broadcast to my IFB's with picture and it is perfect for the job. With Lectro's usual cast iron manufacturing I feel safe placing this on someone else equipment cart and it working with no problems. Changing frequency is easy with this, but with my aging sight I only wish that the receivers would change as easy. 5

Donald	29/07/2024
[7 lb / 3.2 kg] Works great. especially like the feature of being able to see transmitter battery level. 5

Perry	22/07/2024
[36 W maximum] Great replacement for stock lens foot, works great with swiss arca tripod head. have it on my 70-200mm lens. Price is good and the manufacturing is great. 5

Deke	19/07/2024
[10.3 lb] The challenge was that for zoom tap dance, fitness and jazz classes, there is vocal instruction and music, add to this sounds from tap shoes, w/all happening at the same time. To see the instructor's whole body he/she is usually far from the computer microphone (which is usually minimal at best). Paired with a zoom U-22, this system made a big difference. It works perfectly. B&H is the best. Good advice, product options and fast delivery. 5
