Other
- The tripod base is detachable and compatible with Arca Swiss, Markins and Photo Clam ball heads.
- Flocking to reduce internal reflections.
- Rubber seal protects the MFT mount connection from dust and moisture.
- Compatible with all cameras with MFT mount, including G9II, GH7, GH6, GH5, OM-1, OM-D, Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and JVC GY-LS300.
- Supports EF-S Lens.
Limitations
- Autofocus may not work if the maximum aperture of the lens and an EF Extender or other teleconverter is smaller than f/8.
- AF accuracy may not be satisfactory with some Tamron lenses.
- No support for Focus Stacking and Focus Bracketing.
- EF mount Lens are not silent and may make audible clicking noises during autofocus operation and aperture changes, which may be picked up by the camera's built-in microphone. An external microphone is recommended for video recording.
- The use of Canon Cinema Lens such as the CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S for still images is not supported.
- The aperture is changed in 1/8 stops, which can be noticeable when recording video. Program automatic and aperture automatic should not be used for video recordings. This restriction does not apply to Cinema EOS Lens that allow fine resolution aperture control, such as the CN-E 18-80mm T4.4 L IS KAS S.
- No support for in-camera corrections such as edge shading, CA and distortion

Notes
1. The CN-E Compact Servo Lens may require an external power supply for autofocus on some MFT cameras. The use of Canon Compact Servo Cinema Lens, such as the CN-E 18-80mm T4.4, for still image shooting is not supported. (Works, but is slower than stills lenses).
2. Only possible with newer cameras such as the Panasonic G7, GX8 and GX80/85.
3. Some improperly manufactured M42 screw adapters may short-circuit the Speed Booster/Smart Adapter's electronic contacts and cause damage to the adapter and/or camera body.
