This is a very cool device. Well done.... May I recommend that you consider a simple photo sensor relay on your sender half, so that it will work with any camera's existing tally light. There are too many eye piece connector types out there. I think it would be a more marketable item.

same as muhlstock . here we have many thomson grassvalley cameras on trucks of course with other connector than sony .

your system looks very good , make it in production , i order one .

hi , I?ve been to the transvideo manufacturer last week to see the products they made .

i must say that they have made many interesting things for us .

like a cinemonitor 3 superbright 1400 nits that include a transmitter titan inside .

i've also see with my eyes that they made tests on the monitor for working at +80° to -50°

(avionic tests) and when the monitor is inside the temperature machine test my picture still on the monitor with the titan transmitter/receiver . very funny .

i've also find a very good bracket to fit a lcd on the master series without vibes like on other i have test . :)

it was very interesting .

thanks jerry , i will ask regis in france to order the g50 with the post for master .

as it's new it's not easy , and nothing is written on the tiffen website about that .

13 mm is very tiny ,

the 3A is 15.9 mm and the master 18.9mm

that i'm looking is on the g50 with what you says

there is some with 18.9mm post and some with 15.9mm (or 13mm)

does the change comes from the roller ring on the arm ? or does the change comes from the type of posts like a post adaptor and the roller ring is always the same ?

yes the post diameter on the master is 18.9mm thanks a.holck and lars.erik (your is 13 mm is that right)

and the post is mounted on a roller ring .

finaly i've order one G50, it arrive in 3 weeks :) :D :) :D

can you confirm that the post fit in a master gimbal ?

it's larger than the 3A . if it fits on the ultra , then it goes on the master without any adaptor .

what sled do you use with it ?

i think your project is a good idea , it's a quick way to find something and compare instantly different materials , a good way to know what exist .

I?m not certain that complete rigs or arms , sleds are going to be sold with your site , operators want to check by themselves and test at the importation store or manufacturer , and then discus the price .

the useful thing will be all the brackets , wireless focus and video systems , zoom control , rain covers , lcd monitors ,screws (it's funny but when you have a CP out from usa , you cant imagine the difficulty to find a little screw in inch) well detail pieces that you look several times over the net to find them .

your site is the only one like that and it's a good help for operators that don?t have manufacturers at the corner of road .

i 'm going to make some shoots in new york in 2 weeks , and i just want to know if some of you have

use the titan wireless video without problems in this town .

thanks

finally i have tested the titan in real world , streets of new york . it works perfectly in this saturated waves environment .

hi , i've just modify my master to integrate the marell digital level (MDL-ADV-OEM).

it fit perfectly in the master , and i'm very happy with it actually . no problems .

here is some pictures of the integration :

At least one with the BBC in England. Probably quite a few more.

thanks robin .

i have try this arm at the workshop in france , and i was very impressed about the possibility .

i 'm about to change my arm for another , and i just look for review of people that are running this arm everyday .

hi ,

is there some OP that have buy the G50 arm here in Europe ?

i've made that changes on my master too .

here in france there is not many AB use , it's more V-mount or Pag systems .

for more compatibility i have put PAG system .

dont be worry about changing it yourself , it's very easy .

i'm not electronical ingeneer , i dont know anathing in this , beleive me it's easy .

you need to make some holes (2 holes) , a little wiring of 2 cables one red one black , welding and isolate )

if you switch to pag , the pag socket is a little bigger than AB . you need to remove the little battery metter on the back of the sled . i've done this because i put a dual bubble level including a battery metter .

if you are interested in this i will release the mounting of the duale bubble internal , near the frameline generator of master series , with the buttons switchs external . i'm going to make some pictures of this release and put them here .

the dual bubble is the new marell in OEM version for integration .

and this is the original auction :

look at that, that feels swindles in full nose

to all of you that want to join the club of owners , be very carrefull with things like that .

thanks rob , for your info .

the more power is usefull for me when i fly the big TX for live TV work , it's large like the big pag red brick .

not realy a problem . first i have tried with a adaptor AB to pag then the power plate . and it was not close enought to the sled , the adaptor takes 0.8 inch . but with the pag socket directly on the sled the uper batterie is at 6 inch from the center of the sled .

i agree with you for the teletest bracket , but it's the only one i have found for the master series at this moment .

it's sad because the design is good , maybe at bearbell hi can do near the same but stronger .

the teletest bracket is not in aluminium , it's made with elastic steels :blink:

here is a thing very usefull to get more power .

i have make this change on my master A/B to PAG system to use this power plate .

then i can put one batterie , 2 batteries , or 3 batteries with one on the monitor .

all of this make dynamic balance very easy .

just one thing with the bags , be careful when you take planes with it or your vest is going to be flattened .

here is some links for the RF systems .

http://www.broadcastrf.com/

http://www.gigawave.com/ go to digital RF

and the triax tiny yellow cable http://www.steady.co.uk/sale.htm from optex (picture with european triax lemo connectors)

:D shoot middle wide with a narrow depth of field and focus set about 10 feet away...

thanks for your help davidwest :D

:D i need to learn more english to explain what i want :D

the master serie have a gimbal hole more larger than 3a,efp or provid arm , you may need a adaptor to fit the arm on the gimbal .

you may need a double provid arm of course , not a single one .

you can remove the big battery of the master and put a lithium pag,AB . or a double lithium it's less heavy than the big one provided with the master .

something interesting for practice ,

set the lens near closeup mode (not to mutch) , set the focus to 4/3 meters .

do the movements (baseball caps idea of joe mcnally are good) and try to keep in focus .

this is helpfull to get a full precision work , not easy as fisheye operators .
