Q: 3. Thank you Sachtler rep. With the Sideload plate, when I go from tripod to handheld does the Sideload plate go with the camera adding weight and interfering with a proper grip? Does it detach like the traditional Sony plate? I will be purchasing for use with the Sony FX6.

Q: 4. what is the difference Sachtler System aktiv8 and Sachtler System aktiv8T ?

A: The "T" stands for their Touch and Go system.

Q: 5. Does it come with a camera plate and is that plate manfrotto style or proprietary?

A: The Sachtler Sideload Plate S/Ace Tripod QR Plate is only compatible with the aktiv6, aktiv8, aktiv10, FSB 4, FSB 6, FSB 8, FSB 6 Mk II, FSB 8 Mk II, FSB 10, FSB 10 Mk II, and Ace fluid heads.

Q: 6. Would this be suitable for a red Gemini and EF 200-400mm 1.4x?

A: The Sachtler aktiv6 flowtech75 MS Tripod System (B&H# SAS2064SFTMS) could be used with the RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 BRAIN with GEMINI 5K S35 Sensor (2018 Unified DSMC2 Lineup) (B&H# REDSMC2G5K) and the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x Lens (B&H# CA2004004IS). That is because the combined weight of those two items is below the maximum load capacity of the tripod and head. However, given their significant length, it will be important to balance their weight and center it on the head. If you need a slightly longer quick release plate to do so then you can use the compatible Manfrotto Quick Release Camera Plate (7") (B&H# MA504PLONGRL). It is 1.5" (3.8cm) longer than the Sachtler Sideload Plate S/Ace Tripod QR Plate (B&H# SAWPDV1) which comes with the tripod head.
