  1. hey boys and girls,

     

    on the movie I am doing now we are using an alexa 26v with a codex,cmotion,boxx meridian

    and I thought this was a little much powering this from the 2 powercubes

     

    so I put a 26v battery plate on the bottom of my ultra2 so I could put the camera battery on the bottom

    bud for a ultra2 this not easy.from the moment I did this my electronics were a bit confused

     

    after I had to do reload on the 26v battery the codex did not want to power up every time....I ended up

    putting back the battery on the alexa.

     

    after this movie my rig is going back and see if there is a solution.....

     

    so I think I am saying DO NOT TRY THIS ON A ULTRA2

     

    best mike

  2. hello boys and girls,

     

    I have a job coming op in new york city and I am looking to rent a full set.

    I own a ultra II myself so that would be ideal bud I wouldn't mind a pro....

    it is a 2-3 day job in juni,don't know the exact date yet.

     

    can anyone help me or does anybody know where I should turn too

     

    thank you mike

  3. [ Maybe they intend it to be used at the top with the gimbal handle upside down? For $425 it must do something special...anyone?

     

    rb

     

    Exactly Ron,

    It is a really good design to get the sled a little bit away from your body, and also return the gimbal to a more comfortable position in low mode. Dont think it can be used as a j bracket as is. you could drill through and insert a pin in double shear to hold it underslung.

     

     

    I do own that thing(didn't know it was that expensive)and it does help a little

    bud it doesn't prevent lowmode.....especially with my length

  4. hey guys

     

    I am in the progress of making my own line of steadicam/camera carts

    and just aproved the drawing of the first demo

    this will be finished in one month.

     

    it will look like a cross between yeager/erwin and my own thoughts

     

    I came with the idea because I always think that the magliners are a bit wobly

     

    when finished I will post some pictures....off course

     

    greets mike

  8. Hey Mike, I think Marco just asked what car he could get for under $10k and you replied "I have a Ferrari and it rocks!" Nice.

     

    I am partial to the Bartech because the customer service is wonderful and it's a solid piece of gear for the money. But being in Europe it might be simpler to buy local?

     

    rb

     

     

    hee ron/marco,

     

    I personally bought the 3d set which is not cheap.....bud they also offer a single engine unit which comes close to the digi fox pricewise

    and it is also possible to upgrade to a 2 or 3 engine unit later on

    service wise I do not have any experience with bartech bud I believe it is really good.,personally I think when having a problem and there is a 8/9 hour

    timedifference that might be a problem

     

    the service from cmotion is great the other day I needed extra cables I called them and the next day I had them.

    this is not possible going over seas!!!

     

    it sounds like I get commision from them!! <_< :rolleyes:

     

    have a great one

    "big"mike
