I used my cusotm yoke mount for more than a year. Due to demand from some local operators who have seen my yoke, i decided to make a small run.

Key features are:

- adjustable to any angle

- friction adjustment mechanics at cog (once the desired fiction is set, there is no need to loosen and retighten any screws for tilting the monitor)

- compatble with xcs, pro and churchill monitor arms

- ultra quick change over to lowmode

for more pictures and videos see http://mbkamera.de/yoke.html

or contact me at steadicamera@gmx.de

I´m selling this for a friend.

asking 650€ + shipping. was new 890€

Works with nearly every monitor. In very good condition.

postsize 47.3 mm,

comes with one step down ring to 45.5 mm.

Other step down rings for different post sizes can be made on request.

I´m very happy with my Betz topstage.

It has mechanics inside, that remove any backlash of the screw drives. Besides a solid construction, this feature is essential to avoid vibrations.

bump

the original one.

available right now.

Michael,

now I see why you were asking so many questions about my original alexa plate, pretending you had no idea what it is good for.

It is sad to see that a company like lentequip is in the need of copying others.

Alexa Bracket for sale

The Alexa bracket is available again.

It gives the camera a flat and stable surface.

It has the standard Arri spacing of the mounting holes. So all dovetailplates that used to fit Arri cameras will fit this adaptor (Alexa has different spacing)

It will extend the fore aft range of the dovetailplate by roughly 1.5”, as it can be mounted in both directions.

It also shortens the lens to gimbal distance by roughly 1” compared to arri quickrelease plate or bridgeplate.

The screws are captive and will always stay with the adapter.

Arri´s BPA adapter will offset the camera to one side and will add some hight. It is made with the purpose to mount the Alexa to the older bridgplates.

So don´t relay on the rental house to supply the bpa. Get your own Alexa bracket that is designed specially for steadicam needs.

Low power warning is adjustable in the menue. There are two settings one for the onboard batt and one for 2 pin Fisher. If you want to run 12V through the Fisher conector, instead of 24V, you have to set the low power warning correctly, first.

Alexa adapter is available again.

Everyone interested send me an email: steadicamera (at) gmx (dot) de

First run is sold out. I´ll have new ones available end of january.

If you are interested please send me an email. steadicamera (at) gmx (dot)de

I could use one for monday. Are they ready?

I´m promised to get them back from anodizing on monday. After that, I´ll send PM to everyone who indicated interest, to figure out shipping details and payment. I don´t want to sell before I really have the final product in my hands.

Robert and Lawrence,

until you have my plate, go for the Arri Universal Quick Release HD Base. Don´t forget to get the arri wedge adapter.

Matthias,

 

Any news on your bracket? Please let us know when they become available.

Hi Brooks,

Machining is finished. The aluminium parts go to anodizing tomorrow. So I hope my plate will be ready for shipping before christmas.

Nice to see, there is some interest in my product.

I´ll keep posting when it is ready to ship.

Material is aluminium, weight is roughly 100 gramms.

Alfeo,

yes it does the same as BPA-1 but without offset to the side and with more fore aft adjustability. Rental houses only need this when they use their old bridgeplates. With the new BP 12 bridgeplate, that is made for alexa, you don´t need the BPA-1 adapter.

I just don´t want to rely on the rental house to supply the adaper. Especially on these last minute calls. I want to be able to mount the camera to my dovetail, always. So I could have baught a BPA-1 from arri, or make my own, that fits a little bit more our needs.

Lawrence,

the bottom of alexa is not flat. You will need a intermediate plate. Maybe Charles´ cameras had the BPA1 already mounted.

My only concern is not to get this adapter with the camerapackage, as it is not needed with arri´s new bridgplate. Alfeo´s link to the manual is very good and shades some light to this. Look at section 8.6 as well. That is the new bridgplate.

My adapter plate would cost 70€. Depends on request if and when I´ll have them made. I´ll post in for sale section when available.

Hi all,

The Alex camera body unfortunately does not have a flat bottom to mount the steadicam dovetailplat to.

So I made this adapter plate.

First it gives the camera a flat and stable surface.

Second it has the standard Arri spacing of the mounting holes. So all dovetailplates that used to fit Arri cameras will fit this adaptor (Alexa has different spacing)

Third it will extend the fore aft range of the dovetailplate by roughly 1.5”, as it can be mounted in both directions.

It also shortens the lens to gimbal distance by roughly 1” compared to arris quickrelease plate or bridgeplate.

The screws are captive and will always stay with the adapter.

Final product will be black anodized.

Alexa comes in two configurations from the rental house. First uses sony style quick release plate. The Arri Quickrelease plate is rock solid but weights 2 lbs. You can save this weight with my adapter.

Second configuration is with the new bridgeplate BP12. This will fit right in the uneven surface of the camera body. Don´t know weight of that. When you take of the bridgplate, there is no more surface to mount the dovetail to.

Arri offers an adapter for their older bridgplates with flat surface, but this will offset the nice symmetrically constructed camera to the right side.

If someone is interested in my adapter please PM me or send email to steadicamera at gmx.de and i could have a run made.
