+ Nikon ZR + Adapta LCThis video shows the calibration process with a directly connected cPro RF motor and some free spinning. The Spinner (spinning section only) is mounted with two baby pins to 16mm grip rods (3-point connections should always be preferred.). The HDMI and CAM/3-Pin Fisher cable are routed through the spin axis tunnel.
cForce/cPro RF direct mount
The Spinner features a unique cforce RF/cPRO RF direct-mounting option to prevent the motor from loosening (zero-backlash design). The included 15 mm motor mount can be used with all other motors.
WARNING!
Please note that the focus motor may have to withstand high forces (centrifugal force). A cforce mini or cPRO RF, like all other motors, are NOT specifically designed for this type of application. Always use the most powerful motor available and keep the camera setup light and perfectly balanced!
Protect your lens motor! Neither we nor the manufacturers of the motors used will be liable for any damage to them.Cable Routing
Cable routing through the spin axis – this unique feature helps reduce the weight of the overall camera setup. For example you can place a battery or video transmitter outside The Spinner while keeping the system maximally flexible.
Hard Stops
The hard stop is implemented with a screw that can be positioned in 60° increments by simply unscrewing it from the bottom of the base unit.
mountbase
The mounting plate adds several mounting points (3/8″ UNC with ARRI locating-pin holes) and is used for mounting shock absorber to The Spinner.
Shock Absorbers (optional)/
Vibration Isolators (included)You can install or change the shock absorbers (optional) if needed. The rubber vibration isolators included with the optional mountbase are soft-strength and optimal for camera packages below 3 kg.
Three Camera Heads
Standard Head
Mount your camera directly using the included 3/8″ or 1/4″ screws, or use a lightweight ARRI dovetail (ideal for balancing).
Slide Head
DJI RS4 Manfrotto/Arca-Swiss compatible. Ideal if your FX3 or Nikon ZR cage has an Arca-Swiss plate on the bottom. You can use the original DJI dovetail plate or the SmallRig one – allowing full balancing in all axes.
Tilt Head
Features a robust ARRI Rosette-based design with angles from +55° to −60°. Supports camera mounting via 3/8″ or 1/4″ screws.
If you mount the sliding camera plate on top of the tilt head, you benefit from improved balancing and can still tilt the camera at least ±35°.
Maintenance-friendly
The Spinner can be disassembled for cleaning and even repaired by the user. If something breaks, you can order replacement parts and install them easily. Please contact us if necessary! The two sealed ball bearings are precisely fitted and not pressed or glued; they can be replaced or cleaned within 5 minutes.
