Both motors and accessories are in perfect working order and in very good cosmetic condition.

Low hours on the motors. They have never been sub rented, well looked after and I'm the original owner.

The Cinematic Precision plate works with the Alexa Studio, Alexa with Bridge Plate Adapter "BPA-1", Wedge Adapter "WA-1" and adapters like the one Matthias Biber built.

One plate that works with all Alexa bodies. Sal was kind enough to listen to my input and redesign for the Alexa Studio. It saved me several times.

The lightweight 19mm rods where made by Peter Hoare. Works perfect as lens support.

Alexa Studio or Plus?

I'd recommend Alexa Plate from Sal Gonzalez at Cinematic Precision.

It fits both cameras (Alexa Plus with BP-adapter and Matthias Biber's small Alexa adapter).

I use it with the XCS dovetail. Very convenient with front or back heavy setups.

I have no experience with your sled and it's weight distribution but I would suggest to mount the gyro either at the top with a striped down Epic or if your sled gets to top heavy just underneath the gimbal. 

The Arrow transmitter lives in a plastic case, but the Bolt is T6061 aluminum. If it uses PCB antennas, then I'd think the aluminum chassis would attenuate the signal and they'd need to counteract that affect somehow.

The top of the Bolt Tx and whole Rx casing is plastic for that very reason.

During my second workshop I learned that there seem to be two different philosophies about how to do slow Steadicam moves. One as mentioned is to walk in a way that the socket block moves in a straight line. The other method is also a dance technique. Think of a ballerina that floats over the stage by making tiny fast steps on the toes. It was Geoffrey Haley who showed our group a shot we should do. Towards the end of the 30 sec or so shot he slowed down by making shorter but faster steps till he landed into a lock off. He said the reason for doing so is to work with a step frequency that is better compensated by the arm. It takes as much time to practice as the other method. Does it work for every slow shot? No, but for certain shots it does work very well for me.

IMHO Paralinx and CW-1 are identical products just different labels on the box.

Mmmh, my XCS does not have a 3 pin connector for Tally etc. According to the manual, available on Greg's website, it's not a standard.

I talked to Emery and Isabel at Cinec yesterday. It transmits SD! It has a build in Downconverter and a small TFT display. It also transmits in the white band channels from 20 down to get a longer range.

I will be at cinec.

BTW it's good to have you back on the forum Erwin. Looking forward meeting you in person.

Have a look at the link. Canatrans powered over RS.

Cam voltage 12,7V, Canatrans 25,7V

There is a lot of myth going around regarding Alexa power in/out. Copy/paste from the data sheets available on the ARRI website.

Alexa Plus Data Sheet:

Power In:

Three inputs: BAT connector, battery adapter back and battery adapter top. All accept 10.5 to 34 V DC. 85 W power draw for camera and EVF-1 in typical use recording to SxS PRO cards, without accessories.

Power Out:

12V connector: limited to 12 V, up to 2.2A. RS, EXT and ETHERNET: input below 24V is regulated up to 24V, above 24V: input = output voltage. Both RS and EXT connectors combined: up to 2.2A. ETHERNET: up to 1.2A. Maximum power draw is also limited by the power source.

Alexa Studio Data Sheet:

Power In:

Three inputs: BAT connector, battery adapter back and battery adapter top. All accept 10.5 to 34 V DC. When running over 30 fps with mirror shutter on, voltage of 18V or more is recommended. 90 W power draw for camera and OVF-1 in typical use recording 24 fps to SxS PRO cards, mirror shutter on, without accessories.

Power Out:

12V connector: limited to 12 V, up to 2.2A. RS, EXT and ETHERNET: input below 24V is regulated up to 24V, above 24V: input = output voltage. Both RS and EXT connectors combined: up to 2.2A. ETHERNET: up to 1.2A. Maximum power draw is also limited by the power source.

PDF

Alexa M Data Sheet:

Power In:

Three inputs at the camera body: BAT connector, battery adapter back and battery adapter top. All accept 10.5 to 34 V DC. 85 W power draw for

body in typical use recording to SxS PRO cards, without accessories. 40W power draw for head in typical use without accessories. A minimum of

15V power input to the body is required to power the camera head from the body through a standard SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber cable up to 50 meters, without accessories. The camera head has one 10.5 to 34 V DC power input that can be used to power the head independently from the camera body.

Powewr Out:

Several outputs at the camera body: 12 V connector: limited to 12 V, up to 2.2 A. RS, EXT and ETHERNET: input below 24 V is regulated up to 24 V, above 24 V: input = output voltage. Both RS and EXT connectors combined: up to 2.2 A. ETHERNET: up to 1.2 A. Maximum power draw is also limited by the power source.

The camera head offers two RS connectors and one ETHERNET connector, with the same specifics as on the camera body.

PDF

In short:

The Alexa is not a native 24V camera it is a native 10,5 to 34V camera.

The RS output supplies always 24VDC or higher if the input voltage is above 24V.

Hope this clears thing up.

I update my cmotion with Parallels / Windows7 and an USB to serial adapter.

Markus Bernhard made this bracket for me a few years back. It was for a shot in an aircraft where I had to preceed the lead actor through a very narrow alley, pan down mid way to find a walking stick the actor stumbles over, pan up again.

Looks like this

Hi Thomas,

I have one. It's actually an U-bracket but can be used as L as well.

Nope, just the adapter.

They added two longer mini BNC to BNC cables.

Surprise! Guess what was in my letter box today....

Even with a three battery setup like on a PRO you can run into this problem. When the camera connects video GND and power GND (and most do) you have the same potential difference issue as in a two battery setup.

Which battery mount (in the series connection) did you use for the Boxx? The first (0-12V), which also powers video acc. or the second (12-24V).

Sounds like you connected video GND over the Boxx to GND of the second batt.

Build my own one. Lemo 0B-306 to Samurai. Sony PC-100 batteries can be of use.

It's a bit hard to tell if that's a smoking deal without knowing the full price for the 2nd Gen.

Ron,I'm almost pissing my panties. Next cinegear we have to have a beer!

Damm can't find my diapers.
