ASTAT-MFT

When combining larger or heavier lenses with Sony NEX or MFT cameras on a tripod, we recommend the use of the adapter collars ASTAT-NEX or ASTAT-MFT in order to protect your lens as well as your camera.
Connections: 1/4” and 3/8” thread, NOVOFLEX Q=System quick releases
Weight: 60g / 2.1 oz.

The tripod collar is attached to the lens adapter, therefore, the lens mount of the camera is relieved.
Besides, it enables a better distribution of weight as the camera is shifted back, so that the lens does not protrude beyond the tripod so much.

Installed with 1/4” & 3/8” Thread & Arca-Style Bottom

The tripod collar can be mounted on tripod via the 1/4” or 3/8” thread.
The Arca-Style bottom allows the collar to be clamped securely by most Arca-style compatible quick release mechanisms, e.g. Novoflex Q=Mount clamp.

There is a textured knob for tightening the ring around the lens adapter. To execute quick changes between horizontal and vertical orientation, you can loosen the knob and rotate the NEX adapter & camera body, the adapter is then able to turn a full 360° within the collar.
