Hugo is brilliant. Helped me out massively back in the day. Hope he's reading this and is very well. Best, Rich.

I'd imagine it's all techno and dolly.

Do not use this.

Help identifying legacy arm
Richard James Lewis replied to Fernando Henrique de Sousa's topic in Arms
It's not an actual "Steadicam" arm. It looks to possibly be home made or some obscure ebay unit. Don't be fooled by the sticker that someone has put on it. I can't imagine you will find out much information. Best save up a bit more and put it into something that will retain some value and be tried and tested. I'd stay well clear. Good luck. Rich. -
Which 4 canisters to buy for Pro Titan arm
Richard James Lewis replied to Greg simon's topic in Arms
I've had 4 blues in my arm for years. Pop 2 black in very rarely, occasionally for an AR job. I tend to be very anal about building very light camera setups tho. It's nice to have the springs working at their upper weight limit too. Rich. -
WTB - TRANSMITTER FOR 35MM camera
Richard James Lewis replied to danny bishop's topic in Steadicam Marketplace - Wanted
A Navtech would be your best bet. I still have mine kicking around, just incase! Let me know if you want to work out a rental thing. R x -
MK-V Evolution lower distribution box
Richard James Lewis replied to richard bellon's topic in Steadicam Marketplace - Wanted
Contact Ash or Dean at MK-V directly. They will be sure to sort you out with something. They have various old stock kicking about. I'm sure they could sort you out with something and make it work. Best, Rich. -
I've realised the first one is a "Steadyrig" gimbal from Australia. Neither of these are made anymore. Rich.

Second one is a "Pro Gear" gimbal (essentially a copy in part of the PRO gimbal) I can't imagine the company still exists, people had lots of issues (about 10 years ago) First one is on the tip of my tongue, but it escapes me at the moment. Good luck. Rich

Need 1 more HD signal in Gpi Pro Cinema HD sled
Richard James Lewis replied to Sung-young Park's topic in Sled
I think Optical Support have changed them to dual hdsdi on the cinema electronics before. R -
play within the bayonet connection
Richard James Lewis replied to JensSchroeder's topic in Camera Stage/Donkey Box
I had issues with my XCS / PRO interface too. Rotating it 180 magically fixed it. I do wrap the threads in PTFE tape and also poked a couple of tiny bits into the holes where the 3 mating pins insert, and it's all solid now. I don't take it apart ever, I fear it won't go back as nice... Never got to the bottom of it. Tolerances between different manufacturers. Check every so often everything is very tight with the post tool and a plastic hammer. R -
That aside, the Cinetronic was fairly waterproof. I don't even use covers on my Transvideo now, just a bit of tape over the buttons.
