Cmotion FIZ For Sale
Mike Marriage replied to Mike Marriage's topic in Steadicam Marketplace - For Sale
Hi all, This is taking up shelf space so I'd like to sell. Buy it for the 3 Heden motors and the micro force alone and throw the rest away if you'd like! This is a very cheap way to get some spare motors! MASSIVE PRICE CUT - £890+VAT (if required)! I can ship it but it's quite a heavy case. -
The Sigma Cine Primes are sold but the zooms are still available. I'm open to reasonable offers.

Hi all, My PL glass isn't getting enough use these days so I'm selling it all off. These are all great lenses and I've used them all on Steadicam. The Angeniuex 16-42 is a real Steadicam workhorse. I'd rather sell in person in the UK (I'm just outside the M25 north of London) but can ship and have sold similar lenses internationally from Steadicam Forum in the past. All prices are in pounds sterling and exclude VAT @ 20%. I am VAT registered in the UK so VAT will need to be added to applicable sales. Some exports won't require VAT to be added. A full VAT receipt will be provided. Open to offers on multiple lenses. Lenses for sale: 1) Fujinon Cabrio 19-90 T2.9 in excellent condition. Glass is flawless and rings turn like butter. It includes a custom Peli case. (I think I still have the box in the loft somewhere) £11,950+VAT 2) Angenieux Optimo DP 16-42 T2.8. Good used condition with a few minor scuffs. Mechanically it is pristine and has been on the shelf since a full strip down and rebuild by Optical Support. Optically perfect. £5,950+VAT 3) Tokina 11-16mm T3 Cine version in PL. Mint condition. Comes in original soft case and original box. Virtually like new. £890+VAT 4) Sigma PL T1.5 Cine Prime 5 Lens Set in original (unused) custom Peli Case. Lenses are near perfect. Hardly any evidence of use. £9,950+VAT Give me a shout with any questions. Cheers.

Hi all, I'm selling off my Cmotion FIZ. It appears to have a fault somewhere as connection between the handsets and the Camin can be unreliable so I officially selling it for spares or repairs. I bought this ex rental and have used it as a B system for the past few years. I figured it's probably too old to service but I'm sure it will have value to someone. I've just been testing it and it is working perfectly, but I have had issues on set so tend to just use another system and this is sitting on the shelf. Some of the spares are pretty valuable: 2x Cmotion FIZ Coperate Handsets 1x Cmotion Camin FIZ Interface with antenna 3x Heden M26VE motors (These alone at £1,750+VAT each new) 3x Motor Cables 1x D-Tap Power Cable 10x Focus Marker Rings 1x Cmotion Czoom wired Controller (Like a Microforce) This appears to work fine! 1x Long and 1x short Czoom control cable 1x Czoom bracket Charger 3x Batteries BUT these are old and need replacing Quality Custom Flightcase The motors and Czoom alone have significant value so I'd like to get £1,990+VAT. Given the weight I'd prefer a UK buyer who can collect in person. Thanks! Mike mike@mikemarriage.com +44(0)7773 179773

I know this forum isn't gimbal focused but does anyone have opinions on the best brushless gimbals nowadays? I'm looking to replace my Ronin-M and need to fly an A7Siii. I trust the opinions that I'll get here more than most other forums. Thanks!

I may also be interested in the batteries if Jess hasn't bought them all. What models are they?
-
Are they Li-ion? If so, batteries should generally be stored at 40% charge to minimise degradation. Storing them fully charged or discharged degrades the cells faster. Keep them cool and out of the Sun.

Hi all, I have an older 3 channel Cmotion FIZ (Coperate) and yesterday it was very laggy on set and had very limited range - literally about 10 feet. The green RF light remained on but the motors didn't respond beyond this distance. We tried multiple channels and it made no difference. We switched to my Bartech back up as there was limited time and that worked perfectly...as ever! Any ideas on what could be causing the issue? If not, I may upgrade to a new system, possibly a 2 ch digital Bartech.

BarTech Digital Sytem Group buy

Jim, is the dual receiver included at all? -
I have the Pix E7 and think it's fantastic as an onboard monitor and recorder. The focus peaking isn't perfect and can give false positives (as most monitors can) so I tend to favour the touch screen zoom function. The built quality is excellent and the menus and interface are far better than any other onboard monitor IMO. I have used it on Steadi a few times, and it is a nice size and weight (the 7" not the 5") but it has only been for interiors. It would probably struggle in bright sunlight, but I can't speak from experience on that. Definitely try before you buy to see if you can rely on it for focus. For me, full HD doesn't mean much on a small 7" or 5" monitor as they are simply too small to see it.

I can vouch for the 16-42. It was fully stripped and serviced by Optical Support here in the UK just before I sent it to Will. They projected it for me and said it was a very good example. I still own another 16-42 and it is a spectacular lens, especially for Steadicam.

I have a KS8 if you are interested?

I once owned a V25 when they first came out, which was very similar. It was a pretty decent rig for the money. As mentioned, the monitor arm wasn't the best. The battery hanger isn't perfect, but does allow a lot of flexibility in positioning. This is important when moving through tight spaces, such as the isle of a theatre. It's not a rig that will grow with you, but great for learning and taking on some smaller jobs.
