    Hi,

     

    Selling two camera plates from XCS. They are in good condition and in perfect working order. They come with three 3/8 x 16 TPI screws and one registration pin.

     

    They will fit all rigs like XCS, CP/Tiffen, Betz, Pro DB 1 & 3, and will fit on 60% of the DB2's.

    Asking € 300,-

  5. DSM or Power Cube

    Swit batteries will power a 435 up to 150 fps BUT only if they are brand new and fresh of the charger.

     

    IMHO swit batteries are good for there prices but they'll bring no happiness on the really power demanding cameras.

  7. Onboard Recording: PDR100 or MiniDV??

    Last time I asked the German salesman it was close to €2500,-

     

    May I point your attention to this guy:

    Blue Cine

     

    He builds this very rugged clamshells. The new one utilizes a flash recorder.

     

    The recorder is based on ffv flash recorder. He made a really intuitive interface with instant one button push playback of the last take, various playback speeds, ff and rev, index jump through all takes. It will have a monocrome LCD display with all vital information. The backlite of the LCD will have different colors for rec., playback and low bat. We're currently investigating a auto start/stop solution. It will also have the tuner because its on the mainboard anyway. And sorry, no Display for viewing the footage. Hopefully he will be able to place it in a dionix sized housing.

     

    It won't be cheap, means like the mini DVR Pro or a bit more but with a better interface, more playback features, a rugged housing and decent plugs for video in/out and power.

     

    I will keep you updated.

     

    Cheers

  12. Tilt stage for Pro/MKV?

    Bryan,

     

    The Betz tilt plate is NOT compatible with the regular Ultimate camera platform.

     

    You could mount the tilt plate to a XCS camera dovetail and insert the plate into the platform and utilize a catgriller on top of the tiltplate. But this will ad more than 1.7 inch to the sled length and ad lot more weight to the setup.

  15. red one power cable

    in Batteries/Power

    Posted

    Greg Bubb made RED power cables for my Ultimate. They work fine.

     

    I would recommend using the Aux port on a PRO as well. With the hard drive the camera pulls close to 6 Amps on a 14.4 Volt batterie.

     

    One the other hand the rental house refused to make run/stop cables for the a camera Arri LCS and my cmotion because of "contradictory information" (what ever that means) they got from RED. We're on the 10th day of shooting and still waiting.

     

    I attached 4 pages with the connector assignment of the RED. IMHO pretty straight forward.

     

    Its from the "build_15_ops_guide_2.2.5.pdf" from the RED homepage.
