Introducing the 8sinn Adapter for Metabones PL Support

The 8sinn Adapter for Metabones PL Support is a mechanical support designed to attach a Metabones ARRI PL to Sony E-Mount adapter to an 8Sinn cage for Sony a7S III.

It serves to absorb some of the stress exerted by the PL adapter on the camera mount. When used with ARRI PL lenses, the adapter and lens assembly can put stress on the Sony E-Mount; this support secures the Metabones adapter to the Sony a7S III 8Sinn cage.

The mount attaches directly to the cage using the included screws. The part is made of aluminum and is suitable for camera rigs where the lens and its adapter need to be held by the cage structure rather than solely by the camera mount.

Case studies

• Filming with Sony a7S III in an 8Sinn cage and ARRI PL lenses via Metabones adapter.
• Lightweight cinema setup where the PL adapter must be supported by the camera rig.
• Using a Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Sony E-Mount Adapter on an 8Sinn Sony a7S III cage.
• Camera mounting requiring a reduction of mechanical stresses on the E-Mount.
• Preparing the tray with a dedicated cage and screwing in the adapter before changing the optics.
