Add a versatile handle to your camera rig or cage with the Tactical Handle from Zacuto, which features a slim, adjustable design that allows you to use it as a top handle or side handgrip. It features a built-in Z-Rail/NATO-type rail on top, a shoe mount, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads that enable you to mount a variety of accessories. Its grip features finger grooves and is lined with wood for a smooth, comfortable feel.

The Tactical Handle mounts onto any Z-Rail/NATO rail, and the Z-Rail jaw clamp can be twisted and oriented in multiple ways to work on horizontal or vertical Z-Rails. The spring-loaded locking lever enables tightening or loosening of the joint, so it can be reconfigured as a top or side handle. The handle is suitable for use with small cameras such as the Panasonic GH5 Mark II.

Q: 1. Can the Kameleon be powered using this Canon C7o battery? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1506755-REG/core_swx_nano_c98_14_8v_battery_with.html/reviews

A: Yes, all you will need is a 4-pin LEMO to D-tap cable.

Q: 2. With the first version of Universal VCT, with a Sony FS7, the stock LCD was too close to the face, with no possibility of moving the camera forward. Did someone try this new version with a FS7? Is it possible to move the camera enough forward to get the stock LCD with stock bracket to a good distance of the face?

A: Sony designed the LCD to be used with the loupe when in shoulder mode. Thus the LCD mounting rod, while improved with a non-twisty square post with the F7 Mark II, is not really meant to extend the LCD in shoulder mode. Since Zacuto is all about getting the camera back on the shoulder, and not forward, I do not see this plate being able to do what you wish.

Q: 3. Does the bottom of this rig have the VCT mount?

A: Yes, the Zacuto ACT Baseplate offers the availability to add a ACT mounting plate to your tripod to be able to quickly lock down your shoulder rig or roll cage. Please review the following item Zacuto ACT Mounting Plate BH #ZAZAMP • MFR #Z-AMP https://bhpho.to/3BxD1Fa

Q: 4. Does it work on Black magic Ursa (big one,7.5 kg),dr asok

A: Yes it does fit the BMD 4.6K Pro (the big one), however I think it would be cheaper to buy the BMD shoulder rig etc and then you just need a Zacuto VCT tripod plate. The bottom connection of these shoulder rigs is an industry standard just like the rod spacing and position, so the VCT tripod plate will snap onto the bottom of the BMD shoulder rig. I leave the VCT baseplate connected to my tripod and then snap on a Canon C200 (with the Zacuto VCT shoulder rig) or a BMD 4.6K Pro with the BMD shoulder rig.

Q: 5. how heavy is the act base plate?

A: It weighs 2 pounds or 950 grams

Q: 6. Will this work with Sony A1 when shooting 8k?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 7. Is there a cold-shoe adapter for this?

A: However, you could try using an ARRI Rosette adapter, attached to a cold shoe ball mount.

Q: 8. Do you need to buy the Axis Mini (for FS5) in order to mount the Z-Finder to the EVA1 ?

A: You do not. This mounts to the screen.

Q: 9. Does this work on a Sony FX6?

A: Yes. The Zacuto Sony FX6 Z-Finder does indeed work on the FX6.

Q: 10. Could someone kindly measure the thickness (and the length) of this Z-ACT plate? Not given in description or specs. Thanks!

A: The Zacuto ACT Camera Plate dimensions are 0.25" x 4" x 1.496".
