Please use caution when attaching accessories
or a recording device to the camera or the
support rods as the center of gravity may shift
towards the front or back, which can tip over the
camera.
7.3. Bridge Plate Set BP‑8, BP‑9
The bridge plates facilitate balancing of the camera
on the tripod and mounting of accessories.
BP-8 is designed for 19 mm support rods.
BP-9 is designed for 15 mm support rods.
The bridge plate sets consist of the base plate, bridge
plate, and a pair of 440 mm support rods. 19 mm
support rods with lengths of 165, 185, 240, 340 and 440
mm or 15 mm diameter support rods with lengths of
340 and 440 mm are available separately as options.
Note: The bridge plate has to be adjusted to Super 35
for use with the ARRIFLEX D-21. This ensures
that the accessories are exactly adapted to
the optical center of the Super 35 format.
This also applies when anamorphic lenses
are used (unlike with 35 mm cameras).
