I got one made for a Transvideo and modified it to work with my Boland. Easy enough.

I have found my precious monitor mount.

Thanks ~

Thanks Tim - for the life of me I couldn't find that on the PRO website, but it looks great.

Hey Jens - is this still available?

Hey Gang,

For those who run a Betz top stage, how do you mount your MDR? I currently have a PRO DB2 with the stock mount and am considering going to a Betz, looking for options.

Much appreciated,

- Deke

Price drop - $2500

Look - let's not kid each other. You have a PRO rig. When you bought it, you got the old monitor mount. Nobody blames you for that. But we all learn. And grow. And you got a better mount eventually. Why wouldn't you? Damn straight. So there it sits, in your pile of old parts. Sure, you can kid yourself that you might need it someday, but we both know you won't. So why not make a few bucks and sell it to me? Take that money and get yourself something special. You deserve it. Yeah you do. C'mon - let's make this happen. For us.

Lots of interest, still not sold -

Just a standard 8 pin monitor cable. It'll send power, standard composite video, and tally.

Selling my Act2 Vest - a year and a half old, in great condition. This is one of the most adjustable, customizable vests available. Comes with the larger back section, two attachable pockets (great for comtex or a walkie when you have to wear one), and a carry bag. Also, has Velcro professionally sewn in on the back panel.

Paid $4200

Asking $2900 + shipping

Wanted to share my ripoff of Ron's idea - Chris Dawson over at Camera Jimmy's modified the Backstage vertical pad for me and it works great.

...and if anyone is resistant to change, Brant...

Got mine this morning and used it this evening ~

Nice piece!

Phil -

I was working last night with it, shooting wide open, and could see clear as a bell. Gaffer said levels were about 1 - 1.4 @ 1280 ASA.Can't load a LUT on it, just the standard image controls in the menus.

Cheers,

Amazing dispatch from the front lines - well done, sir.

Thanks Alan!

Gonna hit you up for a print out of Tim Sutherland's wrap grip this week.

Cheers,

Hey Gary (and others with the BVB07) -

I recently had a cable made to power my BVB07 from my CineLive's "Monitor Power" 8 pin Lemo port, and while it powers the monitor fine, I notice that my tally light is now on. This is without any tally light signal being sent (i.e. using a film camera) and I'm wondering if the cable is wired wrong or if that's somehow normal.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

- Deke

Another thumbs up for mycasebuilder.com - Pelican 1650 custom cut for my CineLive is beautiful!

Hi Gang -

I'm looking to buy a couple DM2 Preston motors in good condition. Also possibly interested in a single channel controller.

Thanks!

- Deke Keener

I'd be interested in seeing your solution when you find it, Ramon.

Mike,

I'm in for one if you have another left.

- Deke Keener

Hi Tim!

Thanks very much for the info and the offer - I may take you up on it.

Happy New Year,

- Deke

Benjamin & Frederic - thanks very much for the reports.

Cheers,

Hiya Nils -

I've used a Pro vest which is great, but Ramon Engle recommended the ACT2 due to its tremendous adjustability and so it's peaked my interest. It's great to hear from someone who's been putting it through it's paces for a couple years. Thanks very much for the information.

Happy new year!
