  4. Joseph, where are you based?

    https://engineeredcinemasolutions.com offers cables priced in Canadian dollars and very fast turnaround, which can be favourable depending on where you are when you factor in exchange rate.

     

    I agree that having well labelled backups is essential down the road, and agree about the 4-Pin XLR being handy for many different cameras. Also agree that buying what you need, as you need it, is a good way to keep costs down, especially when starting out with a new rig. Although it is hard to predict what you will need for a day call the next day and cough up that cable in a pinch. Of all the cables to splurge money on and be reliable, you will want to make sure that you have good quality monitor power cables and backups, as well as high quality 3G or better BNC cables going to the monitor from the sled, and good quality shielded BNC cables going to the camera. After all, as said above, most digital cameras can take onboard power in a pinch but flying without a reliable video signal or monitor power truly can be devastating.

     

    I would say in addition to the power cables you've listed, a Red Epic/Weapon power cable and a 4-Pin XLR Power cable are good to have right now, likely to come across those cameras when starting out.

  5. Hi everyone,

     

    Have had great results so far using the Transvideo Virtual Horizon 3 bluetooth external level attached to my XCS Monitor bracket, and wanted to share that I am stocking power cables for this little module. I know they can be tricky to find. Am currently powering/charging it off my 4-Pin VID/PWR port on the lower stage. If interested, you can order this cable here:

    If anyone has questions about the module before buying, or wants to see a video of it in action please feel free to reach out!

     

    Thanks!

  6. The 4-way orientable ones (not really pictured) are $425 CAD, or $320 USD. They are made in Canada.

    I'm trying to get some pictures of the 4-way orientable ones, you can maybe kind of see it in the picture of the Mini. Of course, the finished versions are anodized and come with replacement screws for the MDR3 (requires longer screws to replace stock MDR3 top cover screws) I even had him machine 4 little tapped holes in the bracket so you can have a place to store the stock MDR3 screws! He has about a dozen MDR2 and a dozen MDR3 brackets in stock.

     

    The attachment to the camera is the standard Arri 3/8 captive screw with double pins and follows the curve profile of the top handle.

  7. A fellow machinist and I designed a lightweight bracket that could mount the MDR to the rear of the camera without adding any length or height. We wanted the antenna to be away from the operator's head and the cables to run "north-south" instead of into the operator's head out the side. We wanted the same bracket to work on the XT or Mini. He has since designed a similar bracket for the MDR3 (I only own an MDR2) which allows you to orient the MDR in any of 4 directions. Pictured is the original for my MDR2 on the XT, as well as the revised orientable MDR3 on a Mini.

     

    He ran a batch of the orientable brackets for MDR2 and MDR3 and has a few left in stock (fully anodized) if interested.
