Asking $18,500

Radio board on my trusty MDR-1 is toast. Preston considers this End Of Life and will/can not repair. Would like just the MDR1 or working radio board from such but will buy hand unit and transceiver if needed.

Have no idea what this would cost.

This is a solid 19" center post GPI made for me when I was on a show with very little low mode and the same camera all the time. Standard definition cable installed. Compatible with bayonet GPI J-boxes.

Has anyone used this?

Might all this work? - Put the camera in the cage, power the cage, power the BM HDMI converter via the cage, add & power the cam-wave xmitter . . . . .I think I still have my Hill low mode bracket too.

Doesn't look like Charles needs any additional weight.

Thanks. I 'll do a search or PM. Should have done that first!

Joe

Any recommendations for a weight plate for these digi SLR's we are required to fly nowadays? Do you guys have them custom made, make 'em yourself, or is there a 3rd party making them. Do any of the rental houses offer the weights and/or low mode cages?

Opinions on a weight preference for these plates?

Thanks for any comments

I am going to have to buy batteries and was wondering if anyone had an opinion on why not to go with V-Lock. I just finished a show out of Claremont and we used the V-Locks and didn't have any problems. I still have my old PRO1 battery cage which I moded to accept the V-Lock batteries (the stacking feature of the IDX batts was very helpful).

I could mount the A/B style batteries instead and it would be nice if the batteries I buy now would work on a future rig.

Is one mount more common than the other in the field in the event that one could use production's batteries instead?

Any insight appreciated.

Thanks

Stumbled across this at strobist.com

I have the AV 500 as I think most ops have that one. The cable does not start the recorder but I did make the cable with help from this forum. As soon as I purchased this unit they of course came out with new model. The new one uses the H264 codec which is a better codec. The model I have uses a propritery codec that I feel is not very good. If you wanted to put aything on the archos you had to transcode it with some open source software. I would think the new software would work under quicktime or something similar without transcoding too much.

as for the ferrite core I have some interference when using the deck - whether recording or playback. The video guy on the show thought it might help, it didn't . I'm pretty sure the problem is in the sled as I had the same problem with my GVU-5 8mm recorder

A few pix of my old rig. I keep updating but HD may be the killer. It started out as a PRO 1.

I tend to use the LCD on stage but sometime if the conditions are OK I'll leave it on outside. I always go back to the greenscreen in low mode and add the 3rd battery. I went with the LCD to lose weight for video concerts and it lends itself quite nice to the LT - note the position of the gimbal. I can fly it with 4 blue canisters, although additional motors push the limit

Don't know how long the link will work but I thought it was interesting.

Has anyone seen "Childeren of Men"?

Thanks Eric. Guess I have plans for the weekend.

Green - Video in

white - Video out

Red / orange - Audio in

purple & Grey - Power

I think any of the bare wires will function as a ground (they are generaly bundled with the corresponding colored wire)

Doc or anyone have a source for the 5 volt regulator. I think someone mentioned in a different thread that a cell phone is the same voltage

Thanks Eric.

Has anyone tried to incorporate the voltage regulator inside the PRO series 1 battery cage?

Joe Broderick

Can anyone post the pin outs? Specifically looking for Video in & out along with audio in. Just need to know what color wires are for what. I noticed that some of them are already bundled together in the cable.

Thanks

Joe

Rig balances quite nice, though I go back to the green screen/3rd battery for Low Mode & day exts. I switched to a LCD as I was looking to get the gimbal higher for this camera and get a lighter rig for the concert shoots.

Having a green screen for so long I find that color has it's own distractions.

Joe

C,

These new 2.5mm (the same size as cell phone headphone jacks) connectors are 4 contacts: Stereo(L&R) Video, & Ground. The only A/V cables I've seen at RS are 3.5mm. I thought about using a 3 connector 2.5mm but the contacts don't line up correctly

Call me old school but does anyone have the connector for a PRO to GV-U5 video/power connector? I disassembled mine (because of interference) and need to have it repaired but I don't know which way the pins reallign. I'm interested in either buying one or at least looking at one so I can figure out the pin configuration to have mine repaired.

Also, does anyone have a line on a vendor for 90 degree 2.5mm a/v connectors for one of those HD based recorders? I had a RCA Lyca but returned it because of the poor quality and slow menu system. Apex has a similar system out:

http://www.apexdigitalinc.com/proddetail.a...nenumber=13&c=8

it also uses a 2.5mm A/V connector. Both systems include an A/V cable when purchsed but they are straight. The Apex features a Divx codec option which I would thing is better quality

Thanx
