Sony Sensor Extension System
Sony's Sensor Extension System for VENICE is a lightweight and easy-to-use tethered extension system that allows the camera body to detach from the image sensor block with no degradation in image quality. The cable system can extend from 9' to 18' (with an included extension cable which enables the VENICE to become highly mobile and discreet for many mounting configurations and filming scenarios, including use with gimbals, handheld stabilizers, underwater & helicopter housings, 3D/VR rigs, and tight or unconventional spaces (such as inside vehicles, on cranes or Russian arms).
