Hi all! Looks like I have the opportunity to work with an actual film camera for the first time, the Arriflex 416. I have a Clipper 2 Steadicam so the weight should be fine but I don't have the 24v upgrade yet so would need to run it with the on board battery. I've had a look at the manual and can see it's got a built in video tap and FIZ brain so reasonably happy that I can physically mount and fly it without much trouble. Should I use any adapters to mount it like the Alexa? Does anyone have any hits, tips, suggestions or other comments about operating with this camera or film in general? I've read that depending on how the film magazine works it can affect the balance as it spools through which makes sense but how much of an affect does it have? Is it just a matter of tweaking the balance between takes? Cheers guys looking forward to it just want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible :) rups

Hello everyone, Does anybody know if the Teradek Bolt Pro SDI will transmit LDS meta info from the Alexa wirelessly to a Transvideo monitor? Tethered it will display but curious what happens when a Bolt Pro is between. The latest version of the bolt pro v2.2.4 supports rec flags and timecode so I'm just curious if it will also transmit LDS. Any info or confirmation on is greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!

Hello Everyone! After extensive research, I have come across this dovetail plate which stands out for me, to be the best option. Although expensive, I made the purchase. Very happy.

Hi, I have an arri wireless system and I am trying to upgrade my 2-Axis 2012 WCU-3 remote to wcu-4. I am not currently seling anything else than the remote (WCU-3) since the rest of my system is compatible with the new remote, however I can sell the wcu-3 at a more affordable price which would still give you the advantages of the arri system: - lightweight quiet motors - lightweight receiver (UMC3-A) - never failed on me - integration with Alexa (motors plug in straight to Alexa Plus, M, Studio - camera info on screen) - smooth focus and iris knobs - very lightweight remote WCU-3 is 2 axis but can be upgraded to 3 axis with an extra zoom control. I know most people are more familiar and/or interested in Preston. The arri system is a very good alternative if you are looking to get good reliable system right now. All the AC's I have worked with have been very happy with it and at least equally comfortable with it as with Preston. Here is a picture and link for more info. http://www.arri.com/pro_camera_accessories_legacy/wireless_remote_system/wireless_compact_unit_wcu_3.html Price:negotiable Thank you very much for your interest Please contact me at c.ancelle@hotmail.fr

What are the basic Steadicam accessories that you would expect the camera house (that is renting the Alexa to your production) to carry?
