A: The tripod color is compatible with the Leica Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 2.84.0/2490 mm ASPH lens.It has an Arca-Swiss Style plate. If you have the adapter that converts the head to Arca-Swiss style it should work.

Q: 2. Hi, I purchased the Balpro and the FUGPRO adaptor. I now need a adaptor on the lens side. I have a Fujifilm GF 63mm lens, what adaptor would I need to get?

A: Unfortunately they do not currently make an adapter for the FUJIFILM G Mount lenses.

Q: 3. Will this head support an X-H2 + XF100-400 without sagging?

A: The load capacity for the Novoflex ClassicBall 2 Ball Head, B&H #NOVOCB2, is 11 lb / 5 kg. It should support the weight of the FUJIFILM X-H2 Mirrorless Camera and the FUJIFILM XF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR Lens as they are 5 lb combined.

Q: 4. What is the flange focusing distance at infinity? (Can I use it with tilt at a working distance of about 1 meter?)

A: According to Novoflex, you'll reach infinity with the PRO-PYRITE 90mm lens on the BALPRO bellows. Tilt and shift both depend on the camera. The smaller the camera plus adapter, the more movement is possible. For example, a Fuji GFX with the FUGPRO adapter or a Hasselblad-X camera with the HAXPRO will work very well, because the adapter and the flange focal length of these cameras are very small. On the other Hand, a Nikon D850 with the NIKA+APRO adapter will work, but the possible movement is limited, because the distance from the rear stand of the bellows to the sensor is much longer. And yes, it can be used at a one (1) meter range.

Q: 5. Does this collar interfere with the zoom function of the lens(es)? In other words, can the lens(es) still be zoomed with the collar in place?

Q: 7. Hi, according to the Novoflex website, they say: "Adapter ring that lets you mount a Fujifilm GFX-camera to the BALPRO1 or BALPRO T/S universal bellows. Please note: A GFX-100 needs an additional spacer ring PRO25 in-between the bellows rear standard and the adapter. It would otherwise collide with the standard." I am wondering if this applies to the GFX 100S model as well?

A: No, the Novoflex 25mm Ext Tube for Balpro (MFR #PRO25) is not necessary for mounting the FUJIFILM GFX 100S Medium Format Mirrorless Camera to the Novoflex BALPRO 1. The PRO25 is only necessary for the larger FUJIFILM GFX 100 Medium Format Mirrorless Camera as the bottom of the camera would interfere with the BALPRO 1 otherwise. This is not an issue with the smaller GFX 100S.
