Hi, I am looking to rent a super post for a job this week, is there anyone in town who might have one available...? Thanks in advance! jellson@mac.com

Thanks for the feedback. Yes those prices new from ab and b&h are excellent, plus Paul from AB is an wonderful supporter for members of this community. John however, can re-cell my 6 batts around $162/batt (discount above 5) and claims they perform better than new ones. That price is still less than half of the best price offered for new ones currently. His communication has been excellent so I think I will give it a go! Thanks again for your advice! Cheers.

Hi, My dionic 90's are beat! I am looking to re cell them with John Ritter as opposed to buying new. Does anyone have any thoughts or pro's and con's for doing this as opposed to buying new? Also has anyone had work done by John and can provide a testimonial? Thanks for your help! Jason

Brooks, You're a class act, I concur wholeheartedly. STOP THE BULLYING!! it is plain and simply unacceptable behavior on all levels of humanity. In the words of Thumper 'If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all'. Great post. Jason

Gents, Apologies, yes the two batteries on PRO in series give 24V. Yes, it's actually 16.6 volts to be precise. The 24v CAM out metered at 33.3V when I checked it running AB HC batteries. My set up is to avoid running the battery on the camera. The issue with powering the codex from the AUX port is two fold. Firstly the port is dead when the sled is selected to 24V. Secondly you do not have the ability to hot swap the batteries on the sled risking a codex crash. I am told this is the worst thing that could ever happen! A little over reaction I think! Cheers Jason

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Sorry I am not one to post often however I feel like I really need to chime on this debate. Firstly I would like to shot out to Dave Thomson who has been amazing sharing information when he can whilst working crazy days and nights without phone service!! I am regurgitating a lot of the info that he has fortunately shared with me! I would like to try and simplify the Alexa/Codex situation as I am soooo not the techy guy! I start a feature next week-alexa/codex. I want to break down what has worked for me after a lot of trial and error, actually more errors! My set up is this: PRO sled, TB6, HC AB Batts, AJA, canatrans(they are happy to remove the ethernet and let me run wild once the LUT has been established), Preston and cine tape. This is the best scenario I have found and apologies if I am offending anyone with the basics, from the top. 24V selected on the sled running the 3 battery system. CAM PWR PRO out to the Alexa @ 24V(It will not accept 12V from the PRO and work properly, we tried this, well that has been my experience) this is a PRO lemo 3 pin-arri 435 cable, big 2 pin thing.Now, most importantly what you need to do is get a cable made from the 2pin Alexa lemo out which is 12 V, this will go to the codex, which is a 5 pin lemo(side note Terry West is across all this as he is scrambling to make me new cables to send overnight!) Ideally you want to give the Alexa and the codex it's own uncorrupted power ie. do not add anything to this from the accessory ports on the camera, make the cables for aks from your sled using the different ports that are available. I cannot comment on Greg's XCS system. like I said this is my experience with MY setup. My PRO works like this with the 3 battery system , the Alexa and Codex now are feeding off of 1 HC(C on the block) using the CAM power 3 pin lemo out, 2 pin Alexa out goes to the codex. My monitor is feeding off of one HC as is my canatrans(remember the PRO sled Monitor battery block feeds the monitor PLUS any vid+pwr aks ports that you are running) my canatrans is running off the Monitor batt and I have another cable that has been made to power the aja from the spare 4 pin lemo I have on my upper j box, hence keeping this power allocated to the monitor block. My Preston is powered as normal drawing power from the 3rd battery that is available. You might ask why not distribute more power from the Aks battery, well in 24 v the AUX port on the PRO sled is dead. It only works 12V when your sled is selected to 12V. Apologies if I am offending anyone with this. PLUS in this configuration you can still hotswap the the ALEXA/CODEX. You just shif the codex off it's mount, still plugged in of course and mount a battery onto the plate at the rear of the camera. Voila, it seems to work.... well for now! Hope this makes sense, I have attached a photo of my codex bracketry, it's pretty sweet , carbon fiber rods and all, plus this setup keeps the low mode plate really close to the camera. Cheers, Jason
