The Joint #5 motion range varies depending on the mounting position of camera mid plate and the camera you are using.
The table below shows the motion range (reference values) based on the available cameras for this option and the mounting positions of the camera mid plate. The values in the table may vary depending on how to secure the cables.
By changing the Y position, you can extend the distance from the hand mounting surface to the camera. Also, you can attach the larger hand. However, be careful about the Joint #5 motion range that will be limited in this case.
