  4. I was using a Teradek Bolt on a shoot last week and it worked great, for the most part. In the afternoon hours it appears that the transmitter was overheating and would stop transmitting. When we let it cool for a bit, it operated fine, but then would heat up and stop working again. Has anyone else had this occur?
  5. Near the end there, I meant to say... From here you may want to adjust your Lift, in subtle turns, to further enlighten yourself.
  6. The way to fine tune my G-50 was explained to me like this (or at least this is what I heard). First get a camera on your rig and balance your rig as you usually would. Then set-up the arm as you would typically have it in terms of Ride and Lift, work with it for a bit and get a feel for it. I like my Lift set so that both segments of the arm have a bit of rise in them bringing them just above horizontal (yes, basic stuff). Then back out your Ride counterclockwise almost all the way (don't force the stop at the end). Now again spend some time flying it to feel the difference. Then give the Ride a turn or two clockwise, and you will feel a big difference. The first few turns of the ride create a dramatic difference in terms of hardening the ride, while the last few turns are very incremental (and don't force the knob on the high end either). Slowly take the ride in a half turn at a time and fly your rig to get the feel for how the subtle change affects the rig. Find where it is comfortable, and take note as to whether you end up where you started (in terms of your usual set-up). Then play with this new comfort zone by going back and forth a half turn to feel the subtle nuance of your Ride's new (or maybe the same) sweet spot. From here you may want to adjust your ride, in subtle turns, to further enlighten yourself. Yes, it sounds very fundamental and obvious. But so is cooking once you have a clue or a recipe. I'd love to know how other operators approach this, because I am always up for trying new recipes and I am a newbie compared to most folks here.
  7. I purchased a used Archer2 last year (I'm told it was one of the first 5 built and sold) and I was very frustrated from the get-go with the G-50 arm. Soon there after my producers on the two NBC shows I shoot for noticed a bounce in my slow shots, and while they didn't beat me up too bad about it, they wanted me to fix it quickly. So I have been keeping tabs on this thread with great interest. And fortunate for me our offices are just down the street from Tiffen. I just got my G-50 back from Tiffen with the upgrade and I am very happy with it. I was fortunate to be able to borrow a G-50X while mine was being worked on and I did not want to give it back. I was blown away by the difference between the G-50X and mine. I was hoping Tiffen was going to forget I had the G-50X and let me keep it. But, when all was said and done, my upgraded G-50 is a VAST improvement from what it was a couple of weeks ago. The new bearings and internal set-up make it feel like a brand new arm. While the G-50X has a couple of bells and whistles in terms of bumpers and such, I am greatly impressed with the upgrade. My slow "dolly type" moves look solid and I don't have to overcompensate or ride the arm low anymore in an attempt to cover up for the stiction (also known as hysteresis...thanks for that SAT word Mr. Fletcher I use it often now). My thanks goes out to Tiffen and Mike Craigs for getting it done quickly and helping me with dialing in the arm's settings such that it is now smooth as mayonnaise. 'nuff said
  8. I tip my hat to John too. He communicates with when he gets the stuff in and checks in out, as well as when he ships it. I am really happy with his service and recommend him too.
  9. or maybe that was last year.
