FAQs
What is the maximum weight the Grip Joint can support?
The 9.Solutions Grip Joint is designed to support a maximum weight of 5kg.
What are the thread sizes available on the Grip Joint?
It features one 1/4”-20 female thread and three 3/8”-16 female threads.
What size rods can pass through the receptacle?
The pass-thru receptacle accommodates both 3/8” and 5/8” standard grip gear.
Can I use this to attach a camera directly?
Yes, you can attach a camera if it has a 1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16 tripod mount, provided it is within the 5kg weight limit and properly secured to a rod system.
How do I join two rods together with this?
The Grip Joint is designed to mount *onto* a rod, allowing you to attach accessories along its length or to extend a system by connecting rods to other grip equipment. It doesn't directly join two rods end-to-end without other mounting hardware.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
While durable, it is recommended to protect the Grip Joint from harsh weather conditions to maintain its finish and functionality. Clean thoroughly after exposure.
Troubleshooting
Accessory won't thread securely.
Ensure the accessory's thread is clean and compatible with the Grip Joint's female thread (1/4”-20 or 3/8”-16). Check for any debris in the Grip Joint's threads.
Rod connection feels loose.
Verify that the Grip Joint is properly secured to the rod and that the rod itself is within the supported size range for the pass-thru receptacle. Ensure no components are worn.
Exceeding weight capacity.
If you suspect you are exceeding the 5kg limit, redistribute the weight across multiple support points or use a more robust rigging solution. Do not force components beyond their intended load.
