  1. This is my Preston single channel transmitter and V+F Lens Control. It was always my emergency backup for my 3-Channel system and so has hardly ever been used. It's in great condition. This is the older Gen 2 version which is why it's less expensive than you might expect. Included with the transmitter and receiver are a mounting bracket for the receiver, combo power and run cables for Panavision and Arri, three Sony batteries, a Sony battery charger, and one ring for the focus knob.
  2. I'm selling my two KS-6 Gyros and related kit. 2 KS-6 Gyros in good working order. Two power supplies. These are the original GPI PRO power supply from the dedicated Gyro rig, and the newer AB Gold Mount powered version that can ride on the sled. The AB version (black box in the photo) has a disconnected 24 power input to protect the box from Arri 3 Pin power cables with reversed wiring. You can easily undo this, but I wouldn't recommend it. The spare PC board is a result of the one time a reversed cable was plugged into the box. There are smaller lighter power supplies available now from Kenyon which is why I'm basically giving these away and charging mostly for the gyros and brackets. There are two dovetail mounting brackets and one 1.5 inch tube mounting bracket with sleeve for the inner post. One kluged together Panavision Iris Rod Bracket which was used with extreme telephoto lenses. Several cables for powering and connecting the gyros.
  3. This is my venerable Preston FIZ system. It's a Gen 2 handset with the rubber hand-grip and the Sony battery adapter. The MDR comes with easily swappable Gen 2 and Gen 3 boards for compatibility with Gen 3 handsets which most focus pullers have. Included are a DM1 and a DM2 motor. The DM2 comes with the Panavision 64 pitch iris gear. There's a hardwire motor controller and cables as the ultimate backup. Lots of cables for MDR power, PRO Steadicam power to the MDR, several different camera run cables, and two cables for the motors with right angle connectors on one side and straight on the other. Spare antennas. The MDR comes with the dovetail adapter plate for the PRO dovetail. Three Sony batteries and a charger. Two original Preston batteries (both very dead and in need of re-celling) and their charger. Everything is in good working condition and shows expected wear and tear.
  4. No idea if this is worth anything to anyone, but feel free to make an offer if this interests you. This is the very old school green screen. Still the brightest image ever on a Steadicam. The lower right corner of the screen is suffering from delamination. You can see where in the photo: it's the area that looks like an oil slick. Included is the raincover. The last time I used it was in the rain because the monitor is well sealed for weather and my HD LCDs at the time were full of holes to let the rain in, and would overheat when wrapped up. Could be useful for spare parts (the high voltage assembly is relatively low mileage as it was replaced not long before I retired the monitor.) Or might look nice in a Steadicam museum, or as a doorstop.
  5. Thanks for the welcome and kind words. I used to post now and then on the old AOL forum long long ago. I left when people stopped discussing our craft in a creative and helpful manner and things just deteriorated into griping and political/factional fighting. Things have changed somewhat; and now the forum seems so well organized that you can go many different places to discuss any number of topics. I applaud how many people are willing to give their time to help others, and I love that people post shots and pass on what they've learned. Kudos to the organizers and well done to those of you who have helped make this site a useful resource. And if you still want political fights and griping, you can always visit the AR forum. Wow. As for my little project, I've had people email me with some helpful information and will let everyone know how it's coming along. The interview is vintage Ted and I know there are several people out there who would love to see it. David
  6. Hello everyone. It's been so long since the last time I thought I posted on this forum that I came to the startling realization that I never have. Now I've registered so I can post and I'm looking for a bit of history. I was digging through old boxes of stuff and came across several Beta tapes from over twenty years ago. These were interviews I did with Ted Churchill for an NYU film school class. They are in good condition and I've managed to transfer them to my computer for editing. I would like to put together a retrospective/tribute/documentary kind of thing and I'm wondering how many of you out there have video and pictures from over the years of Ted at various workshops and demos. I've got his demo reels and the piece he did on the Steadicam Operator's life on set; the one where he, very famously, never puts the rig on. I would love to hear from anyone who has anything, whatever the format, that might be useful. Thanks in advance for any help. David
