Cambo Actus for the GFX

[Michael Erlewine]

Good news for me, an avid Cambo Actus user. I have all kinds of both front and rear boards or mounts. Capture Integration is carrying the the GFX version in this country, and I am told soon. I work with Steve Hendrix, whom many of us know. And there is some exciting news for me. This is not a complete new system for the Actus, but an add-on that will allow full GFX compatibility. Here is what I understand:

The upgrade is $1345. It adds a riser to the front standard, replaceable using a Star-Key Allen wrench, a T8. As for the rear standard, with a single T6 Star-Key screw, the existing rear standard can be removed and the new standard installed, which has a GFX board. Now for the great news, something I have asked for since the beginning.

The new rear standard is no longer something you screw on (with tiny screws), but rather on quick-release. And, for $215 you can have a Nikon board with quick release, meaning we can change cameras in seconds in the field. This is very handy.

Here is a photo of the two mounts sent to me by Steve Hendrix who, as usual, is totally helpful.

Interesting. I am talking to the sinar people to get a modification for my p2 back standart that comes with special bellows. It will allow me to move the GFX in  plane.

My current solution atached my Nikon to the factory p2 back standart, but all movements are excentric, so I have to use some more imagination to read the response of movements correctly.

There is already such a solutionen called "p-slr" for Nikon and Canon, but for the GFX I will got for it.
