Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. The A7sii runs at 7.4v. Would this be too much at 7.9v?

A: The Core SWX Coiled Voltage Regulated D-Tap Cable for Sony a7S/a7SII/a7RII is regulated to work with the Sony a7SII.

Q: 2. What type of screws are used to attach the lens support on the riser? Need to know if I can use a screw with a looped end so I can add a handstrap to my cage.

A: Don't know the exact size without some research. It takes a 3mm hex key and is probably a metric size like the rest of the screws on the cage, only larger. Its tapped hole would not take a standard looped tripod screw since it's a bit smaller than a 1/4 tripod screw. The riser screw drops into a 1/4-20 tripod threaded hole.

Q: 6. What is the mount on the bottom of this? I have the full cage set-up, but wanted to slip my camera off the rods to put it on a gimbal without needing to screw on a plate or take off the cage.

A: The MOV-303-2202 and the MOV-303-2402 are not interchangeable. The riser was made different for the correct focal height difference between the A7S and the A7II/A7RII/A7SII models.
