  9. 7d power from sled?

    Kurt,

     

    First of all, welcome!

     

    Not sure about the frying issues you've seen, but the two cables you need are below. Abel Cine Tech should have these in stock.

     

    Canon DR-E6 DC Coupler

     

    Switronix XP-DSLR-C Power Tap (Mfr # XP-DSLR-C)

     

    I've sent a few of these units to Terry West to shorten into the perfect length and he's done an incredible job.

  14. BNC Bloopers

    in Steadi-Newbies

    Posted

    I find it helps if you have a short lightweight BNC cable connected to the camera and ran to the gimbal (and taped on) with a barrel on the end. Then run another lightweight BNC cable from your gimbal along your arm (one small piece of tape on each arm segment) and attach it to the back of your vest with a velcro strap. This will allow whomever is wrangling cable to simply attach and detach away from the camera and also helps with balancing. The other plus is that you can now dock your rig, disconnect the BNC at the gimbal and your free to roam around the cabin...

     

    Someone else might know of another trick though.

  15. Im 18 yrs Old, Go to Film School, and thinking about buying a Stedicam

    in Steadi-Newbies

    The Flyer should be able to hold an SR2 or 3 depending on lens choice, like super speeds with a Bartech/M-One motor and LMB5 matte box. I've flown a Red on my Flyer (with super speeds and the same accs) and while it almost maxes out the arm it is still workable. Granted you have to power the camera from the sled and get rid of a few luxury items...I'd recommend a bigger rig, but it is possible.

  16. Flyer Low-Mode & Motor Mounting

    in Brackets/Widgets

    Posted

    I've called Tiffen the past two days and I can't seem to get in touch with anyone. I'm wondering if anyone knows if the CP low mode cage will work with the Flyer. I've never shot in low mode. Anyone out there with any experience/advice about Flyer in low mode?

     

    Also, I'm having a little difficulty figuring out how to mount the M-One motor for my bartech. Is there a flyer-compatible dovetail w/ iris rods?

     

    Thanks,

    Brandon

  19. NAB 2009?

    Jess,

     

    I'm planning on attending. Carpooling could save us both a little. When are you wanting to leave and return? I was thinking of either staying one night or just driving early in the morning and back that same night. Let me know.

  24. HELP! Vest digging in...

    in Vests

    Posted

    I'm on my first gig as a steadicam operator flying a rented Glidecam V-25 with an HVX, Redrock adapter, and a set of primes.

     

    I finished a 12 hour day mostly in the gear. When I got home I noticed a red spot on both hip bones where the vest was digging in. I didn't notice any pain while shooting, but now it's a little sore.

     

    I'm pretty sure the issue is that the vest isn't fitted for me properly. Should the vest rest on your hips? It feels right when I'm operating, but it does dig in a little.

     

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We still have one more day of filming...

     

    Thanks,

    Brandon Zachary

  25. Is the Pilot a good jumping point if I plan on working with the heavier steadicams later?

    Mike,

     

    I'm not about to give advice on what to purchase, however I will tell you what everyone has been telling me: Do not make a purchase until you've taken a workshop. This is for two reasons.

     

    1) You may realize it's not for you.

    2) You will have a better understanding of which rig fits your needs.

     

    Also, to get in touch with Chris send him a message through the forum.

     

    All The Best,

    Brandon
