Libec SONY PMW EX cameras adapterWhen dealing with Sony's classic line of PMW EX camcorders (such as the PMW EX1, EX1R, and EX3), traditional broadcast zoom demands cannot plug directly into the camera bodies due to Sony's proprietary multi pin lens control ports. To bridge this connection, Libec offers the Libec A 9EX Conversion Adapter, which acts as an electronic interface between Sony PMW EX cameras and professional 8 pin lens controllers. Core Features & Practical Utility Cross

When dealing with Sony's classic line of PMW-EX camcorders (such as the PMW-EX1, EX1R, and EX3), traditional broadcast zoom demands cannot plug directly into the camera bodies due to Sony's proprietary multi-pin lens control ports.

To bridge this connection, Libec offers the Libec A-9EX Conversion Adapter, which acts as an electronic interface between Sony PMW-EX cameras and professional 8-pin lens controllers.

Core Features & Practical Utility

  • Cross-Brand Zoom Control Demands: The A-9EX is an 8-pin male-to-female conversion adapter. Its primary function is to allow standard Fujinon or Canon 8-pin ENG lens zoom demands (like the Libec ZC-9Pro) to command the integrated servo lenses on Sony PMW-EX camcorders.

  • Compact Footprint: Measuring just 3 inches (approx. 7.6 cm) in length, the adapter adds zero cable clutter to your pan-handle controller setup, neatly stepping the connector width down to match Sony’s internal pin configuration.

  • Full Protocol Continuity: The internal wiring architecture passes variable-speed zoom voltage curves, Record Start/Stop commands, and Return video toggles seamlessly through the link without signaling lag or command dropouts.

Hardware Technical Specifications Matrix:

Output Interface End Sony PMW-EX Dedicated Connector
Total Cable Length 3 inches / 7.6 centimeters
Primary System Use Case Adapting Fujinon/Canon controllers to Sony XDCAM EX bodies
Net Weight 0.05 pounds or 22 grams

The Pre-Configured Alternative: Libec ZC-9EX

If you do not already own a standalone 8-pin zoom demand, you don't need to buy a separate controller and the A-9EX adapter manually. Libec sells a fully integrated package known as the Libec ZC-9EX Zoom Control:

  • What it is: A universal pan-handle clamping zoom rocker that includes a detachable version of this exact EX adapter cable out of the box.

  • Dual Functionality: Unplugging the short EX extension piece converts the controller back into a standard 8-pin ZC-9Pro remote, which can then be used directly with standard Fujinon and Canon ENG lenses.

💡 Operational System Tips for the A-9EX Adapter:

The Voltage Toggle Rule: When utilizing this adapter with a dual-protocol zoom remote (like the ZC-9EX or ZC-9Pro), always look for the small mechanical slider switch marked "F / C" (Fujinon / Canon) on the side of the controller housing. Because Sony's internal lens electronics mirror the voltage signaling behavior of Fujinon optics, you must flip this switch to "F" (Fujinon) before booting up your Sony PMW-EX camera to ensure the zoom rocker travels in the correct structural direction.

  • Pin Safety Alignment Check: Sony's PMW-EX control sockets feature exceptionally fine interior receiver needles. Never twist the adapter barrel into the camera socket forcefully if you feel initial mechanical friction. Align the plastic physical indexing ridge on the collar perfectly with the top slot of the camera port, push straight inward, and then twist the knurled metal locking ring clockwise to secure it.

Good DIY Pipe Legs but Powder Coat Quality Lacks
Size: side table leg, Size: side table leg
These industrial style pipe legs make building a DIY end table easy and the kit saves a trip to the hardware store. The fittings go together normally and assembly is simple. Comes individually wrapped. My main issue is the powder coating looks and feels cheap and rubs off easily. The pipes already had marks from touching each other from unboxing. If you do not mind some wear on the finish over time this is a decent purchase. The metal at the hardware store will be thicker and more durable but will cost more. I’d recommend based on ease of having a kit and it being delivered saving me a trip.

Stable, attractive, and easy to turn into a table with your choice of top
Size: side table leg
The X-shape of the table legs - constructed with solid metal flanges, T-joints, X-joints and 1-inch diameter pipes - provides a strong and sturdy base for a wood top. The legs have adjustable feet pads to prevent scratches and ensure stability. Assembly of the legs is relatively simple (the instructions are clear) but you will need your own tools to attach a top. The industrial design is especially well suited to rec room or finished basement use. I am adding a 28" diameter raw edge slab of wood from a recently felled tree as the top and it is very attractive. (Photo unavailable because after I made certain it would work I sent the slab out for drying and finishing.) If you want a custom table and have a particular piece of wood you want to use, these legs are an excellent choice.

Very nice kit: Beware it is NOT heavy duty plumbing pipe though!
Size: side table leg
I want to give this kit a high rating, but I need to address the "truth in advertising" bit since there may be an important disconnect between what you think you are getting and what actually comes in the box. Black plumbing used for shelving or table legs is part of an important niche in interior design. I like the industrial loft look myself and have a variety of glass, steel, and masonry elements in my home. This kit fits that look and provides plenty of "strength" for most domestic uses, like shelves or coffee tables. But they are NOT "industrial pipe" or "maximum durability pipe." Note the phrase "cast iron finish feet," which together with the other claims might lead you to think these are cast plumbing fittings. They are NOT! The feet and flanges feel like electrical conduit fittings, and the pipe sections are likely aluminum. They might be electrical or they might be multi-use, lightweight pipe. While all this might lead you to think that you're getting a truly retro, heavy-duty pipe kit made of black plumbing pipe, you are not. But, does it matter? Depends. I find the lighter pipe's smooth finish a nice "tone-down" from the rough plumbing look. All together, this kit provides plenty of strength for most furniture and the rustic pipe look, but with a nicer, lighter finish. To me that is a plus--this is a very nice kit and costs less that if you'd pieced it together from real plumbing parts (I priced it out to compare), and looks retro but cleaner. I knew what to expect because while I got this kit free on Vine, I had purchased a nearly identical kit from another seller last year. So, I'm giving it 5 stars for what it actually is and for the price, JUST BE AWARE THE NARRATIVE IS MISLEADING. Which is unfortunate because just like some people might want the heavier pipe, I'm betting more would be attracted to the look with a cleaner, lighter feel.

Great addition to our home
Model: Model B with Removable Tray
Putting together took a little time but instructions included were easy for me to follow. Putting the screws in for the shelves required a little work to get then started but nothing that I would say would be a problem to do. It is very sturdy and looks great in our room we are transforming into a hangout/bar area. I can't wait to get all my accessories in to add to it and display all my nice bottles I have. Great cart for the price.
