  1. Has anyone attempted this yet? I'd love to run a cable down the sled and just feed it out the bottom to run from camera to monitor. Doesn't have to be pretty, but I'm trying to get rid of my HDMI Converter. Just curious. Thanks.
  2. Bump. $3,300.00 USD, FREE CONUS Shipping! Definitely willing to entertain offers too.
  3. Hey everyone! I'm selling my Bartech BFD because I've had a slight career shift and my new work doesn't need the beefier setup of the BFD and M-One Motor. Everything is in used condition, but works great. I have lots of detailed photos and I'm happy to take specific photo requests if you have something you want to see in detail before buying. I'm including everything pictured (except the table or cyc wall). There's a lot in this kit, but I'll break it down as best as I can. Frankly, there's a few cables that came with the BFD when I bought it that I'd be unable to identify properly, but I've included the detailed pictures of all cables and connectors. Here's what's in the kit: Foam-Fitted Handheld Case An ORIGINAL printout, analog paper Manual with OEM staple. Bartech BFD Wireless Transmitter - Handheld Focus Puller (S/N T1.0154) Spare Markers for BFD BFD Hardwire Cable. 25' Cable connecting the Transmitter to the Receiver in case of signal loss or faulty connection. Works great on jibs or cranes. (Reference: Image B) Bartech BFD Wireless Receiver (S/N R1.0154) Horizontal and Vertical Mounts (15mm and 19mm) New Antenna (Not pictured; I lost the original plastic antenna cover, but ordered an entirely new OEM replacement antenna.) BFD Receiver Gimbal Mount - Hard-wire Remote Control for use on a Steadicam, Movi or Ronin. (Reference: Image A) M-One Motor (S/N M-1.0010) Six gears with varying pitches for different size lenses: 0.8m - 32P (2x), 0.5m, 48P, 0.4m - 64P, and 0.6m 15mm, 17mm and 19mm rod adapters for proper mounting fit Misc Hardware for Receiver Mount and replacement screws Additional Cable Assortment 3-Pin male to 3-Pin male LEMO long hardwire power extension cable (Looks to be about 10-15 feet long. I can confirm if you'd prefer, just let me know!) (Reference: Image H) 5-Pin male to 5-Pin male LEMO connector cable from receiver to motor (Reference: Image D) 3-Pin male to 2-Pin male LEMO to power receiver from Steadicam Zephyr (and others with similar 3-Pin connector) (Reference: Image I) Anton Bauer D-Tap male to 2-pin LEMO male to power the receiver from an Anton Bauer battery or V-Mount adapter with proper D-Tap connector. (Reference: Image G) 12V 4-Pin XLR male to 2-pin LEMO male presumably powering the receiver off of beefier film cameras or battery connectors (Reference: Image E) Unidentified 2-pin male LEMO to a fun, half 2-pin male, half 2-pin female connector that I've never seen before or needed to work with. If you recognize it, you get bonus points. (Reference: Image F) I think this last one is an old Panavision connector, if memory serves. But, I'm really not certain on this one either. It's a half 1-pin male, half 1-pin female LEMO connector and a fat 11-pin male connector on the other end. (Reference: Image C) Price: $3750 USD FREE SHIPPING to USA. Will provide quote for international Shipping. Payment via Paypal for Shipping or cash for Local Pickup: Boston area) Pictures attached:
  4. Hey everyone, Hopefully quick question here. I have the Zephyr and I'm prepping it for resale. I've been running a separate Marshall HD monitor on my Steadicam, pretty much since owning it. But, at some point along the way, I seem to have misplaced my power/video cable that connects to the OEM Steadicam SD monitor. It's a funky 9-pin connector and I can't seem to find a place to purchase replacements anywhere. Either through Tiffen (although I'd open that someone like Alan Rencher might be able to make it for cheaper than what I'd imagine Tiffen would sell them for. Does anyone know where I can find this cable? Should I go through Alan to see if he can build it custom? I'd like to be able to sell a functioning monitor with the kit. Any help is appreciated!
  5. Hi all, I'm looking to sell my Steadicam Zephyr kit to fund other projects. It's used, but in very good-to-excellent condition. Always stored in its case, cleaned regularly and never abused. I have a complete kit and I'd like to sell as a complete kit, but some accessories that were purchased separately could be parted out, depending on interest. In the kit, I have: - Steadicam Zephyr Arm - Steadicam Zephyr Large Vest (One of the locking pins on the vest has been repaired from a clean break, but it does not affect the integrity of the vest and I've used it extensively afterward with zero issues.) - Steadicam Zephyr Sled w/ V-Mount Battery Bracket - Steadicam Zephyr SD Monitor (Missing connector cable, which can be purchased from Tiffen for somewhere around $200, if I recall. I never replaced it because I used my Marshall HD Monitor in its place.) - Steadicam Rolling Case - Branded, with custom foam inserts cut for sled and accessories. - Baby C-stand with the Zephyr balancing arm. - All original Steadicam Zephyr accessories (balancing weights, cheese plate, manuals, DVDs, etc.) - 2x IDX V-Mount Batteries and Simultaneous Charger (I'd actually prefer to keep these myself as I use them for other things, but if it makes or breaks a sale, I'll include them.) - Steadicam Low Mode Bracket - I'm likely forgetting something, so if you're curious about anything else, just feel free to ask. Other items of interest (I'll continue to update this as I go through my stuff): - Marshall V-LCD-651STX-HDSDI Monitor w/ Sony Battery Plate and V-Mount Battery Plate (user replaceable) - Janice Arthur's Practice/Extra Weight Cage - A list of extra/accessory cables that I'll update soon. Everything is located in the Boston, MA area and I'd prefer to sell it regionally local as the kit could be viewed locally and inspected prior to sale; however, I am open to putting together shipping rates for buyers if that's what ends up working best. I haven't thought about pricing yet, as it will largely depend on what gets packaged together in the kit at the time of sale, so let's just start up a conversation first and tell me what you're interested in and we can work out a deal from there. Again, pictures and updates to come. I just wanted to start the ball rolling today and gauge any early interest. All the best!
  6. Hi Victor, Do you still have this item for sale? The ebay listing appears to have been taken down? Thanks!
  7. That took me more time than it should have to realize that it wasn't his actual arm, but the arm on his rig. You should've seen my horrified face!
  8. I should also specify that I need the 3G-SDI model and not the HDMI models. Thanks all!
  9. This is hilarious. Bad form withstanding, I wished I looked that "cool" while operating. Maybe operating in the Boston winter wearing nothing but my underwear'll do that. ;)
  10. Best of luck finding a trade! However, I might posit that i can think of very few situations in which one might want to trade a larger rig for a smaller rig + cash. You might have better luck (and more options) trying to sell your Pilot and putting the money toward purchasing a used larger rig of your choice! Just a thought.
  11. Hey all, I'm in the market for a Marshall 6.5" Transflective monitor. I'd prefer it with AB or V-mount plates, but I'm not 100% set on just those two options, as most of the time, I'll power it off my sled. Is anyone interested in parting with this seemingly beloved treasure. (I don't know if it's just me, but they only seem to pop up on the second-hand market every so often, and never when I'm ready to pull the trigger.) So, just let me know if you're interested and maybe we can make something happen. Thanks everyone!
  12. Most rental houses should have a wireless follow focus system available, should you not already have your own.
  13. Society of Camera Operators (http://www.soc.org) You might also see SOA, which refers to the Steadicam Operators Association (http://www.steadicam-ops.com/index.shtml)
  14. I think this is a fantastic idea. Peter, might I also recommend utilizing Google Docs instead of an Excel doc as it's user-editable so it wouldn't necessarily require one single individual to to keep it up to date. Then we could potentially just sticky the link in the Marketplace or something? Either way, I think this would be a valuable resource for a number of different reasons.
  15. More photos attached: (I have several more, but I don't want to flood this thread with images. If you'd like to see more, please PM or email me.)
  16. Hi, Not sure how friendly the forum is to non-steadicam-related gear being sold through the Marketplace. I've got these items listed on Cinematography.com and I figured I'd cross-list them here, just in case anyone had any specific interest in them. -- Canon 7D: $1000 I'm selling my Canon 7D Body package. It's in excellent condition with very few actuations. Very few scuffs on the base near the tripod hole, and a small (1/4") rip in the plastic on the top of the eyepiece cushion. Purely cosmetic and does not effect the function of the camera. Otherwise, it's in perfect condition (eyepiece clean, LCD clean and scratch/scuff-free, sensor is clean. It served as a backup to my 5d Mark II, and both were primarily used for video shooting. So, the shutter is very much still fresh! It comes with a Canon LP-E6 battery and a Canon LC-E6 charger and an 8GB Sandisk Extreme III CF card. Also included are the manuals, software, A/V cables, USB cable, and original packaging. -- Panasonic AG-AF100 Kit: $3,300 Included: Panasonic AG-AF100 (http://www.panasonic...eo/ag-af100.asp) Charger AC Adapter Panasonic VW-VBG6 Battery Panasonic CGA-E/625 Battery Manuals Additional: Panasonic 14-140mm f4.0-5.6 Zoom, Autofocus Lens (Like New, Scratch-Free Glass) (http://shop.panasoni...odel/H-VS014140) RedRock LiveLens MFT Canon EOS-MicroFourThirds Mount (to mount and electronically control iris of Canon EF/EFS mount lenses on the AF100) (http://store.redrock...com/livelensmft) Everything in this kit comes entirely in Like New condition. The camera only has 21 hours of use, which can be verified in the menu of the camera. The entire time, it's been kept in a climate-controlled storage unit, inside a Pelican case with padded foam inserts. I need to verify by rummaging through my basement, but I believe I can even include original packaging if it's still down there and you want it. Ha. Price is $3,300 or best offer. I am willing to break apart the 14-140mm lens or the RedRock lens mount from the kit if you don't need/want it, but priority goes to those who would like the kit as a whole. Feel free to message me with any and all questions. -- PM or Email me with questions! I can also send detailed photos if you request them. I'll ship to anywhere, buyer pays shipping/insurance. They're located in Boston, if anyone wants a local pickup.
  17. I'd been looking for quality insurance companies for some time, and I hadn't come across WPD until today. Thanks everyone for this recommendation! I'll give them a call.
  18. Just for good measure, do a once-over on all your screws on the sled/gimbal with an allen wrench and make sure they're tight. On the Zephyr, it's quite common for them to loosen up with use/time/storage. I always double-check every one before flying.
  19. I'm learning and practicing as well, and by no means an expert, but I'd like to add one thing. Are you using any kind of weight plates or cages, wireless follow focuses, rods, etc. to add weight to your rig? Just the 5D Mark II and a lens would likely be too light above your gimbal, making your rig too bottom heavy, and thus, more prone to that kind of wobble. Which, I believe, is the main reason why you're finding that you need to hold the rig more tightly than you should be... Based on my own experience, that's helped me to develop more control over the rig! However, as others have said, that as a professional, no matter what level, the video does reflect on your abilities. If I were you, I would at least password-protect it, and use it as a reference, but publicizing it can only come back to bite you in the end. Hopefully, that might help!
  20. Thanks Bryan. You're absolutely right. Thanks for the advice! Much appreciated!
  21. Hey Eric, I always do my best to plan but as I'm sure you know, sometimes unforeseen things occur. My monitor on my rig broke and when borrowing a second monitor from a friend, I needed a lightweight way to power it, ie. this cable. The cable that was included with my rig is already being used to power tha camera so therefore I needed a second one. Did I do something wrong in trying to rectify the situation by appropriately asking to rent or purchase another cable from someone local? I'm just not sure why I'm sensing some disdain on your part for this post. Perhaps you wouldn't mind clarifying?
  22. Thanks Eric, I've already tried that route and all dealers are closed for the Holiday. It was a last-minute need sort-of-thing, as the shoot is on Tuesday. Otherwise, I'd have placed that order from any one of the plethora of Tiffen dealers that exist online. However, I think I've come up with a solution through an alternate approach. Thanks for your help! - Adam
