thanks man great tips...helps a lot :rolleyes:

Hi job that`s a great idea hope my transmitter is strong enough otherwise they could setup a line close to the stage... yeah did one job before with that camera...nice do you pull your own focus? anf if so with what device... thanks cheers

Hi all I have a live gig comming up...very short notice...tomorrow`s prep already :blink: it`s with Thomson GrasValley (?) TV cameras and canon wide angle optic i have an old J7 trying to get shematics for it because the last time i wanted to use it i could zoom in but when i released the rocker it would zoom out by itsself agian... i also whant to order jim bartell`s gimbal focus controller to have the option to pull my own focus in case the assistant (i don`t know him yet) can`t do it propperly but here`s the question now how can i get the return signal (what the other cameras do) on my monitor best would be switchable with my own signal of course any connectors pinouts? thanks in advance p.s. i also have a tally light ;) Sebastian Geret

Hi all does anyone have any schematics from GPI for the PRO monitor model I ?? If so...please scan it and mail it to me in PDF under sebastian@steadicam-geret.com thanks in advance

hey i don`t want to offend anyone if i say bad and lousy it`s not allways the operator`s fault i think anyone of us would have had difficulties to shoot under both conditions... it`s just a head up for directors that if you use steadicam use it well not just to move around tell a story and let the steadicam help the viewer to discover it...peace

no i didn`t shoot that video and i`m also not shure who did could be brian goff? since i found it on his homepage (www.actionproducts.ch) but it`s not written there if he shot it actually...? anyhow of course christina is hotter than gimma but her video is so bad not only for the operating which is shurely hard to do with that location full of strange lights and the strange directions wich make her look like stupid well maybe that was the idea for the gimma stuff well if you watch the background und horizons it`s pretty lousy too but it`s hard to walk backwards in the snow and concentrate on so many extras...but it`s a fun video and no one has done it before that way at least not in switzerland...

what a bad video!!! check this out

Hi all... does a Bear-Bel gimbal that fits a master post on a EFP post? need a quick answer thanks sebastian

sorry for my bad typing but i got up at 5 a.m. and i`m desperate to get my bfd as fast as possible...if no one has one i will buy a new one but i`d like to save some bugs and spend it for other toys like a digital level :-)

Hi all I^m loocking for a used BFD if possible also with an iris module so i can replace my seitz wich does funny things lately: first i thought it were the bateries (i recelled them) but after i ched them the problem was still there: my assistand was able to demonstrate and repeat the phenomenon: when he stood in a certain angle and he made a bigger turn on the focus control the reciever showes an error and the motor didn`t respond for a short moment then it would go to the mark...strange i just got back from the shoot it all went well thanks to a great assistant! i will check tomorrow maybe it`s because we had to control iris as well and i just have one cable for the amp to EFP junction box so i have to put the reciever on top as well (normally i use the battery base multipin connector) and use the multipin breakout cable and connect it to the amplifier for the motors) that sucks!!! now that i have more and more and bigger jobs comming i need a decent setup which i can rely on...so please somone getting a brand new preston or scorpio help me and sell me your trusty old BFD!!! thanks in advace

Unfortunately derrick worte that the EFP plates aren`t avaiable anymore :( so please someone help me...I want easy lowmode finally (means to buy lots of pricy brackets) :o

Thanks Erwin...I Know but as you say it`s new and expensive (for what it is) but I ordered ona anyway... Grüess us Basel :lol:

Hi all...looking for an EFP dovetail plate...thanks already(I`m sure someone has one flying around in the garage ;) )

Thanks for all your tips guys...all went fine it was a sony 570 HD CAM...the test out is composite...the DOP used the SDI for lighting and then an LCD via transmitter... :) :rolleyes: :P

Hello all...I`mgoing to shoot HD on a EFP with a transvideo LCD... so what do I need to get a BNC/cinch composite signal into my sled...is it a seperate downconverter or a adapter cable? or depends it on the HD camera I`m using?

Hi guys i have a problem with my original EFP b/w LCD monitor with framelines if i look at the picture of my LCD of my sony DVCAM and compare it to the picture of my EFP monitor there is about 1/4 of the picture missing on the downpart...is my monitor broken or can i adjust it with a knob inside? Manuals anyone? :unsure:

Hi is it possible to switch the 4" Master Series green screen monitor with the Tiffen/CP mount. 4:3 native with 16:9. to PAL? Does it do it its self or do i have to open it and turn a knop or skrew? :o

Hi sorry not being able to answeer your question and giving one to you i have almost the same setup just lack of a motor but once i had one and it didn`t work how you wire the seitz amp power wize? from the EFP sled? with me the motor didn`t work properly (witch worked fine with a BFD) and when i switchede the seitz amp on the monitor whent black and the motor freezed completely...help!!!

hello all... i have a seitz controller with amps but i will change to a bfd as soon as possible but before i need one or two reliable motors like heden (vertical), fmg or m1...thank you
