  • How to attache the Letus Mini Lens Adapter to a 15mm rail system.

    Posted by Willem Jansen on September 24, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    I’m off to buy the Letus lens adapter, to use it with my Canon Legria HF52. I already have the PROAIM Stabilizer with 15mm rail system.

    My question is: Can I attache the adapter to the rail system without any accessoires?

    [Willem Jansen] “Can I attache the adapter to the rail system without any accessoires?”

    I haven’t seen any in a long time, but unless they have drastically changed their design… no.

    I’ve never known any versions of the Letus that were natively made to fit on rods at all… they just connect straight to the lens mount with no other support.

    If you did want to support it with your rods (which, yes, would be a fine idea), you’d need a 15mm (or 19mm, depending on your rods) bracket that would somehow fit/support the Letus.

    Not really, not without seeing it in person and holding it in my hands… then might be able to come up with a way. Otherwise, flying a bit blind.

    Best bet is to just ask Letus. They built it, they might have a ready-made solution for rods attachment.
