8.2 Tripod and Remote Heads
Tripod and remote heads used with ALEXA have to provide enough load
capacity to support the camera and attached accessories. The table to the
right shows the camera weight for different components.
Note: Check for the payload of remote heads and cranes.
In applications where the camera mount is subject to high forces (e.g. car or
helicopter mounts) the camera must be additionally secured with retaining
cords. All fastening screws must be tightened firmly with an appropriate
screwdriver (not with the commonly used coin!).
