I just finished a 6 month shoot on a DigiBetacam, using my Modulus 3000 on the Steadicam, and we didn't have any problems with RF hitting the tapeheads. We used the -10db pad about 20% of the time, only when the rig was close to the director's monitor and the monitor fluttered from too much signal. We mounted the Modulus on top of the lomode plate, except when in lomode when it went between the bottom battery and the sled (PRO 2).

The show is now airing and I've watched the first 8 episodes. I don't see any difference in quality of the Steadicam and non-Steadicam shots.

FYI, this is the reply I got from Aaton.:

Bonjour,

Yes you can. There is no problem attaching a low mode plate to the

16 handle.

What model of camera is it exactly ? XTR ?, XTR Prod ?

In case of a XTR, I would check that the four screws, holding the

viewfinder to the camera front housing, are screwed into four steel

inserts, instead of being screwed directly on the front housing cast

aluminum. The Prod has the four inserts, no need to check.

Best Regards

What's the scoop on flying an Aaton LTR in lo-mode? If I attach a plate to the built-in handle, will it support the camera safely? I've flown 35 Aatons this way, but those belonged to Panavison and these belong to people who are my friends.
