How Much Payload Do You Use?

The Raptor Z–ISO shock absorbing arm supports payloads of up to 30kg and is compatible with most gimbal stabilizers on the market.

Similarly, the Raptor Z–XY supports up to 30kg and works with most gimbals. It’s also compatible with camera heads such as the OConnor Head.

How to Switch from Underslung to Overslung

To make the switch easier, we recommend adding an Arm to Dual Mitchell bracket. This allows for quick changes between underslung and overslung setups using a Mitchell-based connection—and helps maintain proper vibration isolation.

Important Note: The Raptor ISO3 does not support overslung operation.
