Hello, i'm building a minity with a somewhat heavy rig. Just wondering what your opinion was on the thin threaded bolt that connects the handle of the red king. I didn't notice it until owning it for a while, and thought, why didn't they use a more robust pin 3/8s at least. Do you think this bolt is likely to break?
That is a difficult question. I am not a metallurgist and can only share my experience. I buy steel bolts from a dedicated German company. The combination of camara, lens and gimbal I use weighs about 2700 gram and I never had a real doubt that the bolt that holds this combination to the red king or a monopod would hold. But I also was careful not to make sudden movements, especially when using a extra long steadycam or monopod that was longer than three meters. Zhiyun itself offers a mini monopod in its Creator Accessories Kit which can be attached by a quarter inch thread and shows videos of this combination with the monopod in a horizontal position. But please be careful if you plan to use the Zhiyun Quick Setup Kit. I used it between the gimbal and a long monopod in a horizontal position and although it did not break it was a little bit loose afterwards.
im wondering if the quarter inch hole at bottom of the gimbal is strong enough to hold the gimbal and the heavy camera... any thoughts from your experience? thanks
I had no problems so far using the quarter inch hole at the bottom of the gimbal. Zhiyun itself offers a mini monopod in its Creator Accessories Kit which can be attached to this quarter inch hole and shows videos of this combination with the monopod in a horizontal position.

Thank you very much for your confidence in my craftsmanship. If I were satisfied with the adapter as a product I might make more. But the adapter is more a proof of concept than a finished product. I am very sorry to disappoint you. You might be interested in the “minity long version” , only a few basic tools required.
Nicely done! About to order minity parts. Must have! ....hmmm maybe I should get a drill press? Waiting for the long version DIY.
I would buy this
I am sorry to disappoint you. There is so much else to do.
@@reelemotions I understand
Very well, you may sell it at the ebay to help others.
