  1. Moviecam Power input connector is 4-pos XLR, Pin1=Grnd, 24V DC assignment varies depending on camera source (rental house, etc). I jumper pins 2-4. Panavision uses two LEMO connectors for power input. P/N# FFA3S303 and the smaller FFA1S302. Both Pin1=+24 Pin2=Grnd Keep in mind that the 2-pos FISCHER on ARRI cameras is available with a lightweaight teflon case. P/N#SI405 Z087 C3J2R As always, If you're curious about the wacky world of multi-pin connectors and their applications on equipment, I invite y'all to contact me. Forwarned is forearmed (sic).
  2. I do, Always happy to help with info, but of course, I'd much rather sell yiou assembled cables. Call me greedy But DO call me ;-)
  3. Best wishes, Rob. Have a happy!! B)
  4. I've been modifying the Travel Cable Kit by butt-splicing a leg to 5-pin LEMO, into a "Y" cable Power/video breakout. Klugie, but workable. Playback is comprimised due to seperate connectors used by the Archos for video in/vid out ("W" cables?! Ick!)
  5. Bzzzt! Incorrect, but thanx for playing our game (what do we have for them, Johnny?)8-)Band Pro was not fined, they were sent a letter that threatened a fine regarding their having listed the device on their web site. To my knowledge, nothing more than threatening letters have ever been FCC response. I think that the FCC has more important uses for their resources than prosecuting people for operating a device with a .5 mile range, especially a device with such widespread utility in a multi-billion dollar industry. IANAL, but still....... Extra credit: with maybe 4 vehicles in the US for triangulation/tracking, how many are in operation in Mexico? Do the math.
  6. Happy birfday! Was my Cable the 1000th order??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh MAN, so close. #956!
  7. Today, I am one year older, Production Cable Services just got it's 1000 order, life is looking pretty good to me. Many thanks to all you ops that have helped make PCS a success.
  8. Y'all know I'm generally pretty low-key and open-minded, but I am in no way comfortable with La Byro describing Jim as "svelt" Seriously......E-yew!
  9. Cool meeting U, m'man. Gotta say, my favorite aspect of CineGear is hangin' at DALT's. 8-)
  10. Standard PRO 5-pin connector interface, allowing video input & playback thru a single plug. I's the li'l things that count, baby!
  11. I disaree. I think Mr. Kawana is using this forum to express his disappointment over what he experienced as shoddy customer service and dishonesty. In this, he is seems not to be unique. (see Karavite post on topic "Marell Bubble") Mr. Kawana clearly isn't interested in continuing with further delays and compromises rearding his order. Is it your contention that this customer is, therefor, being somehow unreasonable? Hm.... If not here, where?
  12. LOL, outstanding. Lucas' widely commented-on turn to the Dark Side is spectaculrly illustrated by this movie. All spectacle, no heart. I was one of the teen geeks who waited hours in line to see A NEW HOPE at the one theater showing iit in OC. It has been very disappointing for me to see how Lucas has abandoned the story elements that most interested me in this mythology for the sake of cheap sensationalism and merchandising. Still, it has generated an amusing branch of pop slang. As such I can say that I found SWIII to be a steaming pile of Sith. B)

  15.

  16. Several of my customers have had me make Y cables for this purpose. Using the onboard recorder port, and making a breakout to the ARCOS power input and an RCA for video, (This on the analog adapter for the Arcos) Making one cable for one of your sleds, an adapter can be made, mating with the sled's connector and adapting it to another sled's connector.
  17. The power input is a 4mm coax barrel, center pole active for power. Video input is standard RCA. I've been making Y cables for customers, from sled (ex: onboard recorder port on PRO), carrying video signal and power to the recorder. This requires an in-line voltage regulator on the power leg, stepping down the sled's voltage output to the 5V input for the recorder. I STILL don't know what the video output connector is; any help from owners? It is conceivable to make a W cable allowing playback to the sled, but so far no customers have wanted that.
  18. Released in US as "The Crimson Rivers" I wanna add a recent breath-taker: Garrett Brown's opening jogging tracker in "BIRTH"
