Letus offers a wide (and growing) range of accessories for a cameras and adapters. The Ultimate is the perfect companion to the Letus Relay lenses. Paired with a relay lens and 2/3", 1/2", or 1/3" removable lens camera, the Ultimate is simply un-beatable.
For support rod systems, we offer the LWS system for ENG style cameras and the V3 and V2 rods support system for pro-sumer level cameras. The Ultimate comes with a custom front support bracket allowing you to utilize industry standard 15mm diameter support rods if you already have them.
The Ultimate is compatible with all of our lens mounts and thread rings. It utilizes the modular system of the Extreme and Elite so accessories can be used from one adapter model to another. With the interchangeable thread rings, you are never locked into using a single camera system. You can go from using a relay lens and a Sony EX3 to using a 72mm thread ring on a Panasonic HPX170 within a couple of minutes. This offers great versatility as you can achieve 35mm DOF footage an any camera you have access to.
