Q: 3. How long is the arm?

Q: 4. does the design of this rig make it difficult to mount the gimbal low to the ground? for example: with 1 cup connected low to the bumper and 2 cups connected to the flat/gently-curved part of the trunk/hood, it looks to me like the diagonally-mounted support strut might be easily blocked by the edge of the hood/trunk when trying to connect it from the vertical to the horizontal piece ~ does this make sense? thoughts?

A: There are a number of different ways to mount this support depending on the accessories that you would like to purchase with it and where you want to position it on the car. for example to get low angle shots it seems imperative that you purchase some single handed gimbal ( like the Ronin RS2). On the sides of the car it would be quite easy to get a low angle shot when mounted to the car door on the front or back of the car it seems as though it would be quite difficult. The design of the car will also affect how easy/difficult it is to get the shots that you want. for example in the photos they used a BMW Sedan which poses a challenge when mounting this rig to the rear but if they were to swap that car for an SUV, or mini van then there would be a lot more surface area on the back of the car making it feasible to get a low angle shot from the back.

Q: 5. Do I need this to be able to control with my phone?

A: Yes you do

Q: 6. How many lights can you control with this single unit?

A: The AsteraBox works as a wireless 2.4 GHz DMX transmitter. Just connect it with the included XLR adapter to your DMX console and you can transmit one DMX universe with LumenRadio CRMX technology. A universe consists of 512 channels. So, it depends on how many channels each light needs.

Q: 8. Ronin MX on tilts Hydra Alien arm? The weight limits are there but can I mount a Ronin plate where the power adapter mount goes for use with older ronins?

Q: 10. Has anyone experience asterabox not charging? I now own 4 and 2 of them won't charge.

A: I have contacted the manufacturer for a 2nd time and there is still no response to my question regarding 2 NON CHARGING ASTERA BOXES. I was curious to what was the defect in 2 consecutive ASTERA BOXES that I purchased. And after further investigation the soldiering of the wire to board connectors both were no longer attached to the circuit board. So if anyone is having this problem also, here is your answer. Clearly this is a defect because I have a third Astera box doing the same thing. My 4th ASTERA BOX I purchased just doesnt hold a charge all day which shouldnt be the case.
