NiSi NISI-WIZ63 WIZARD W-63 Camera Positioning Bracket for Sony
The NiSi Wizard is the perfect solution for photographersand content creators who frequently shoot in both horizontal and verticalformats.
The Wizard is a rotating collar that attaches to your camerabody, allowing you to easily switch between portrait and landscape orientationwithout having to remove it from your tripod head. This feature is particularlyuseful for landscape photographers, real estate photographers, and studioportrait photographers who need to quickly change their camera’s orientation.
Unlike traditional L-brackets, the NiSi Wizard is designedto work seamlessly with cameras that have fully articulating screens, allowingyou to position your screen without any compromise. When positioned at 180degrees, the Wizard can also be used for low-angle or macro shooting.
The NiSi Wizard features tactile indicators at 0°, 90°, and180° to ensure that your alignment is always maintained. Additionally, thecamera is mounted with the sensor positioned in the center of the Wizard,ensuring that the center point of your image is always maintained. It featuresa rubber ring on the inside of the Wizard to ensure lenses are alwaysprotected.
The Wizard is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminumalloy, making it both rugged and lightweight. The mounting foot is Arca-Swisscompatible, providing wide-range compatibility with most tripod heads andclamps on the market. It also features a 1/4” mount so any quick release platecan be attached, making it compatible with almost every tripod.
The outer diameter of the lens mount must be smaller thanthe inner diameter of the WIZARD. The inner diameter of the NiSi Wizard W-6363mm – lenses with a larger outer mount diameter than 63mm cannot be mountedand may require the W-72. To check lens compatibility, measure around the lensnear the lens mount to ensure it’s less than 63mm.
Some lenses have a switch or button on the side, if theswitch button is close to the camera (within 2cm), it may be covered by thecamera bracket. If the focus ring/zoom ring on some lenses is very close to thecamera adapter (within 2cm) and may be covered. Using battery grips or cameraswith built-in battery grips are NOT compatible. Medium format cameras like theFujifilm GFX are NOT compatible. The space between the fingers and the cameragrip can be reduced, it is recommended for most models to be used on a tripod.Lenses with an external USB-C port near the camera mount are not compatiblewith the W-63 including Tamron 28-75mm.
It’s advisable to use the original tripod collar that comeswith a lens when working with a long lens that exceeds 200mm or weighs morethan 1kg, as it will provide a more stable shooting experience.
