The official replacement fixed pan handle for the Libec LX5 and LX7 fluid heads is the Libec PH-5B.
However, if you are looking for an extendable/telescopic pan handle, Libec does not make a factory-authorized extendable pan handle specifically for the LX5 or LX7 heads.
The official upgrade models (like the PH-6B or PH-8B) are engineered with completely different rosette diameters and tooth counts meant for heavier fluid head lines, making them mechanically incompatible with the LX5 and LX7.
Your Best Options If You Need an Extendable Grip:
1. The Factory Route: Stick with the Standard PH-5B
If you simply need a replacement or want to add a second handle to the opposite side for a dual-bar setup, the standard PH-5B is the exact matching part number. It features a fixed length of 33.5 cm (13.2") and utilizes the smaller 75mm-class rosette profile specific to the LX5, LX7, and original NX series.
2. The Third-Party Solution: Universal Rosette Extension Bars
If your workflow absolutely requires a longer handle—such as executing ultra-slow pans at a tight focal length or positioning a remote zoom demand closer to your grip—the most effective workaround is utilizing a third-party standard rosette extension arm.
-
Brands like SmallRig, Tilta, or Shape manufacture lightweight ARRI-style Standard Rosette Extensions.
-
You can mount a small rosette extension arm directly between the side of your LX head and your PH-5B handle. This bridges the gap, allowing you to extend the physical reach and leverage of your factory handle by up to 4 to 8 inches.
Technical Specifications: Standard Libec PH-5B
| Parameter | Libec PH-5B Factory Specifications |
| Official Catalog SKU | PH-5B |
| Physical Length Profile | 33.5 cm / 13.2 inches (Fixed length, non-telescopic) |
| Orientation Mode | Reversible (Can be rotated to mount on either Right or Left side rosettes) |
| Primary Material | High-Strength Structural Aluminum |
| Grip Type | Non-slip Ribbed Rubber Studio Grip |

💡 Dual Handle Application Tip: While you cannot extend the length of the handle, you can effortlessly transform your LX5 or LX7 into a two-handed studio setup. Because the PH-5B is universally reversible, purchasing a second standard PH-5B allows you to mount it directly to the left rosette. Just flip the arm downward before tightening the clamp knob to give yourself a symmetrical dual-handle setup for attaching zoom rockers or focus demands.
