  2. @William Indeed I could not find them today despite AB initially saying release was supposed to be Nov. 2014. So I bought HCXs at Band Pro... But Brian at Band Pro gave me word that the D150s are probably not all that great since the center of gravity is offset and they are also bulky bricks.
  3. Hey guys-- I need to buy new batch of bricks (and sell my Hytron 140s) and would like to make sure I am making the right move. Looks the the Digital 150s are cheaper and more powerful than the HCXs while only .2 pounds heaver. I am flying the PRO CineLive....should I go ahead and buy the Digital 150s or any other battery recommendations? Thanks!

  5. Sorry, Moderators. Trying to delete this post....
  6. I have 7 of these left. Just re-celled by the one and only John Ritter. Still under warranty. $250 each OBO
  7. Both work perfectly but no longer need as I am selling my Paralinx. $250 for the Decimator and $225 for the Blackmagic converter! Let me know if you want one or both. Best, Pascal
  8. Just scored a free Arrow from Paralinx (they replaced my old one) but I just upgraded to Taradeck. If you are in LA you are welcome to come by and test the unit to confirm perfect working condition. $700 OBO.
  9. I just re-celled 8 Hytron 140s and they are in perfect factory condition with John Ritter's 90 day re-cell warranty. I am looking to sell them so I can buy some HXCs. Located in LA, but can ship to you. Make me an offer! Thanks, Pascal
  10. Looking for any full size Jr./ Sr. cart with or compatible with a steadicam post. Also need a beefy rolling Steadicam stand. Located in LA and ready with cash! Thanks, Pascal
  11. terry west can probably overnight them to you from LA. 310 374 5711
  12. I have an upcoming shoot on Alexa with Master Primes and External recorder. My 24lb rig is just under weight with the external recorder. Is anyone willing to subrent me a rig?? Your help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Pascal

  14. @Afton, yes the Alexa is fine assuming powered through post, clip-on matte box, etc. @Brian you are right lol. The F-65 is justttt barely under my 24 lbs. Not ideal at all. Plus tethered to power supply. @Matthias, so you are saying the guy in the video above is using a custom bridge plate adaptor, not the BPA-1? I noticed you make one and I'm interested.....how much do those cost? http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?showtopic=12955
  15. If anyone has the Alexa bridge plate adapter BPA-1 I will buy it from you. I've been on a shoot that did not have this piece and I had to suffer a very heavy dovetail......
  16. Hello all, I have contacted Mattais Bier as well as his company (http://www.cam-jam.de) but have not received a response. I would really like this product or a similar product for upcoming shoots. Any leads? I also just read Jerry Holway's post relayed from Chris Fawcett about an inexpensive solution ( ) but I'm not confident at all that my Flyer LE dovetail is long enough or has the right spacing. Yes I know you are thinking I do not have the right rig for an Alexa....I have flown many times and weight is not a problem. I also up-gauged my post's wiring to handle it.
