golden Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 just bought a grip for my 645 pro. do these things require some kind of adapter to connect to the body, i looked at a new one on the bay and it didnt look like it had an adapter either, it was new in the box. if this dont have one where can i get one, any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastiandooris Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Remove the film advance lever and and it should attach in it's place. There's a little spring loaded catch to release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benoit_sauzier1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 If you bought the GL 401 left hand grip new, then the RA401 adapter should have been included. If not, then just do a search for mamiya ra 401, and you will find different sources where you could buy it from. You obviously need to connect the grip to the body if you want to use the grip trigger switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 i just found one on b&h, i also found out i bought the 402 grip for the tl,, when i read the add i thought it meant for the pro or tl. anyway i read on b&h and it said that if i use the regular 645 pro i dont need an adaptor. is that true?

benoit_sauzier1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 What the B&H description mean is that if you have the GL402, you can use the RA 402 with the PRO, you don't need to buy the RA 401 instead. But you definitely need either the RA 401 or RA 402 to make the electrical connection between the grip and camera body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSepan Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 <p>I know this is an old post, but since no one responded to the last question, and since I was looking it up anyway, I thought I'd share my findings.<br /><br /> The LG401 (which includes the RA401) was designed for the Pro. To use LG401 with a Pro TL, you will need to use a RA402 instead of the RA401.<br /><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/34707-REG/Mamiya_211_428_Terminal_Adapter_RA401_for.html">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/34707-REG/Mamiya_211_428_Terminal_Adapter_RA401_for.html</a><br /><br /> The LG402 (which includes the RA402) was designed for the Pro TL. To use LG402 with a Pro, you may use the LG402 (backward compatible.)<br /><a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/139791-REG/Mamiya_211_112_Left_Hand_Grip_GL402.html">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/139791-REG/Mamiya_211_112_Left_Hand_Grip_GL402.html</a><br> The Notes of the product descriptions at the links above provided the needed clues.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
