I post with pic.s here is link not working. I went to an Ultimate in 2000 but continued to use the vest and arm. Rob Luna serviced the arm in 2004 and I continued working it through 2013. The arm needed a modification which was accomplished by Tom Gleason/Cine-Widgets and is pictured. This is not a STEAL for someone already steeped in gear but is opportunity for new comer. Let me know if you want more info/pics. Great first rig, static and dynamic balance, flat spin. $4,000, David at dscmove@yahoo.com IIIa modified 2 battery – 12/24 volt sled # 458; Operator Vest s/n 496 IIIA Arm s/n 482; with Gold Springs (heavy) with post The arm has repair at the post casting, as is (see pic) The batteries need to be recelled. May want to only recell a couple and plan to swap to Anton Bauer plate for main battery. Wonderful rig to learn with. Hard driven standard def green screen, digital level and frame lines, top stage donkey box and exceptional top to bottom weight ratio. My time with this rig ended on a tv show with it spinning flat, dropping straight, very good dynamic balance. There is a fact sheet if you’re interested.

So you switched the Bartech hand unit to Con but no joy. Turn the power off on everything, flip the switch to mom and back to con and try again. If the motor was turning then you know your units were transmitting and receiving. If you are close you can here the receiver click when you flip the run switch so there again you know the signal is getting there. Possibilities include bad cable from receiver to SRII remote switch, bad remote switch on SRII, if there was more then one 11 pin fisher you may have plugged into a power out only one, try the other fisher plug. If the camera will run with a standard remote switch (hard wire) plugged into the fisher then you have to suspect your cable or your receiver. Eliminate possibilities until you find the culprit.

Keep in mind that while your DP may be understanding of the problems you have with the conditions you are presented with, chances are Directors and Producers are not. I suggest in extreme situations you lower expectations and let powers that be have a pleasent surprise when you exceed them. High wind is indeed an excellent case for gyros (noise ng for sound generally but may fly on exteriors) and I suppose antlers can help (though I have no experience to back up this feeling). Grips with 4x4 double nets or even solids can help if they are sensitive to staying between you and the wind (sailors feel the wind and move accordingly) and your movement. As a last resort you can use your own body sometimes or have your assistant stand close and help deflect. If you have any control over the shot you may orient things so the wind hits from behind rather then blasting from the side, ha ha ha ha hahaha oh yeah that'll happen. David Campbell

I drove several vans as an assistant and have happily sold the last one. If you work off carts as I did you may be interested in my last arrangement. I built a subfloor from the back doors 5 feet into the van, high and wide enough to slide a 5'x4' ramp under. That gave me plenty of room to roll my gemini senior and rubber made carts in built and ready (locked in with ratchet straps and pick points securely fastened to the frame of the van, also a back strap between the carts and the front of the van to double the restraint and keep the carts where they belong. Open the back doors and slide out the ramp, ready to roll. I loaded most of the gear into the center part of the van, best for ride and handling and if I had left over I would leave it on the cart and roll it into the back. Sticks and heads went in the back, between the doors and the rubber made. I also built a loading table that folded down from the driver's side wall in the center of the van but that may not apply in your case. David Campbell
