CineParts has recently designed a grip extender for ARRI\u2019s flagship lens control system, the Hi-5. This accessory promises to deliver a WCU-4-style experience while also adding multiple mounting points to your handset. Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n

UK-based manufacturer CineParts specializes in producing accessories and power solutions designed to make camera assistants\u2019 lives easier on set. Some of their latest creations include a cheese plate<\/a> for the new Tilta Nucleus M-II<\/a> (our review here<\/a>), a V-mount\/Gold Mount cradle<\/a> for the DJI SDR Transmission<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

On high-end film productions, ARRI\u2019s Hi-5 is definitely one (if not the) most common, wireless lens control system, thanks to its performance (you can read all about its specs here<\/a>), reliability, and relatively frequent updates<\/a>. However, it might not be the best fit for everyone.<\/p>\n

As a result, CineParts, in partnership with Irish 1st AC Karl Walsh, came up with a Grip Extender that\u2019s meant to make the ARRI Hi-5 handset more comfortable to hold, especially if you have larger hands.<\/p>\n

The grip is made of black anodised aluminium and screws directly into the bottom of the hand unit via two M4 screws. This should make holding the Hi-5 feel more similar to the classic WCU-4, which many camera assistants have grown accustomed to over the years.<\/p>\n

The position of the grip is adjustable in two steps vertically and four steps horizontally, so you can find the right fit for your hands. Lastly, the accessory adds additional 1\/4\u201d-20 and 3\/8\u201d-16 mounting points for accessories at the bottom of the Hi-5.<\/p>\n
