Freefly Systems Offset 30mm Tube to Rosette Adapter

The Freefly Systems Offset 30mm Tube to Rosette Adapter is a specialized and highly versatile rigging component designed to optimize the positioning of accessories on robust camera stabilization and support systems that utilize 30mm diameter tubes. Its unique offset design provides crucial clearance and ergonomic flexibility, making it an invaluable tool for professional cinematographers building complex, heavy-duty camera rigs.

Precision-machined from lightweight, high-grade aluminum (typically 6061-T6), the Freefly Systems Offset 30mm Tube to Rosette Adapter offers a strong and secure method for attaching ARRI-style rosette-compatible accessories to any 30mm diameter rod or tube. This adapter is particularly valuable for users of larger Freefly MōVI gimbal systems that incorporate 30mm frame components (like the MōVI Ring Pro), as well as heavy-lift drones or custom camera rigs where robust 30mm tubes are used for increased strength and rigidity.

The adapter features a reliable clamp-on design, typically secured with a single lever or robust thumbscrew. This allows for rapid, tool-less attachment and detachment from the 30mm tube, significantly streamlining setup and breakdown times on set. Once secured, it provides a standard ARRI-style rosette (31.8mm diameter with M6 screw), offering a robust, anti-twist, and angularly adjustable attachment point.

The key distinguishing feature of this adapter is its offset geometry. This strategic design moves the rosette mounting point away from the center axis of the 30mm tube, providing:

• Improved Clearance: Essential for avoiding interference with larger cinema lenses, camera bodies, battery plates, or other components when rigging accessories like handles, monitors, or FIZ (Focus/Iris/Zoom) motors.
• Enhanced Ergonomics: Allows operators to position handles, grips, or remote controls in more comfortable and accessible locations, reducing fatigue during long takes with heavier setups.
• Increased Flexibility: Offers greater creative freedom in constructing custom rigs, especially in confined spaces or when specific accessory placements are required to maintain optimal balance and functionality.

Whether you’re building out a heavily customized MōVI gimbal rig, optimizing a vehicle-mounted camera system, or simply need to reposition an accessory for better balance and clearance on a robust setup, the Freefly Systems Offset 30mm Tube to Rosette Adapter is an indispensable gimbal rigging accessory. It empowers professional cinematographers to achieve a highly customized, efficient, and balanced camera system, maximizing operational comfort and versatility on any demanding production.
