Rod Support for EX3 with MTF Nikon Adaptor?

[andididy1010]

I'm switching to the Sony EX3 and would like to have a MTF Nikon Adaptor to mount my 70-200.
I'm kind of worry about the weight of EX3 and the reliability of the mount so I wants to purchase a rod support, but I don't know which one will fit on this configuration?
I'm looking more toward Zakuto and Letus, it will be so much better if there's any photo to show the setup!

Thanks

I'm sure both will will work, but it depends on your budget of course.
The thing is the Zacuto has a wrap zip hear to secure the lens from shifting when focusing or using a follow focus. The Letus, has a screw in the bottom to lock it to a lens or adapter that need a 1/4 20 thread for this screw. The Letus quite a bit less in price that's for sure.

Andy, I have tested an 80-200 2.8 and a 400mm F4 on the Adaptimax Nikon to Sony EX3 Adaptor and it is rock solid. The Adaptimax and Adaptimax Plus uses four 2mm high tensile screws to hold the Nikon Bayonet in place, and it's also glued as well. It isn't going anywhere!

However, it would be foolhardy not to give a heavy lens a bit of support and the two Phil listed above are very good. I own the Redrock Micro support and again it great value for money.

If you own Nikon lenses with an external apeture, the Original Adaptimax is fine, and now of course we have the Adaptimax Plus, which works with all Nikon lenses including the DX and G series. And it goes without saying they are beautifully made and priced extremely competively.

Cheers

Thanks for your reply! I think I got the idea of what to look for.
One other thing on these adaptor, isn't the image upside-down?
Since there's no lens in the adaptor that will flip the image, is it going to record as what the lens (lets say a nikon) get, which is upside-down?

The Adaptimax doesn't flip the image. It is the right way up. A 35mm adaptor has the problem of the image being projected onto a ground glass which flips the image, but with the Adaptimax the lens is used the same way as the stock EX3 lens.
