Hello, I am changing career paths so I must let go of the Trinity. The asking price for everything is $34,000. Buyer pays shipping. Here is what you get: ARRI Trinity 1 Head (one of the video in ports, does not work) ARRI Artemis 1, Steadicam SmallHD Cine 7 monitor, plus am older SmallHD - DP7 as a backup. A lot of cables. 3 Anton Battery Chargers 6X150w batteries. 7X100w Batteries. Custom-made handle. The Trinity/Artemis handle was notorious for getting a hairline crack, just ask around. Custom-made plate for the pendulum counter-weight so you can attach a gyro, or anything else to the bottom or the sled, and then the pendulum. A lot of battery plates. ARRI 35 to Trinity Pate. ARRI mini to Trinity Plate Regular Camera plate SOS Plate. And all the cases of course. Located in Puerto Rico. Buyer pays shipping. Depending on where you live, I could fly and deliver the gear. I could use some airline points, and we could split that cost. Delivery fees are getting so costly it's almost better to fly. Thank you.

Upgraded HD-SDI BNC connectors 75ohm to Neutrik. Less worn than previous. Battery Hanger GenIV. Lighter weight than the previous GenIII, and makes a shorter sled ~25" fully collapsed (preferable operating feel to me). Modification: Quick change battery plates: Added thin custom aluminium plates with multiple hole patterns. Allows the following: Quick change from Gold Mount to V-mount by swapping plates. Can be done on set. Battery plates are on quick release connectors. Plates use M3 socket head cap screws. Great for travelling if you need to hire different battery types, eg different countries' or rental house's availability! Can change orientation of the battery plates. For AB V-Mount plates which have the same mounting hole pattern, the plate has to be attached backwards otherwise the battery can't be mounted due to the post/j-box in the way. Can move the plate under the post further back if more weight is required away from the monitor for dynamic balance. Good to have options! Can swap the rear 2 plates using the connector inside to determine whether the lower (default) or upper plate is designated "A" for 24v mode. Only weighs an extra 150g / 5oz in total for 3 plates which helps adding some mass to the lower stage of the sled. Upgraded Shottky diodes in Gold mount plates for slightly lower voltage loss.

Hey all! Newbie steadicam operator here! Been purchasing essential equipment for my rig and was curious whether I should get a low mode monitor! So far, I've used my regular monitor for low mode, and it has worked out with no issues, but what are the pros and cons for having a low mode monitor? Is it worth it? Will it be beneficial to my operating? And if it is essential AND beneficial, which ones do you have? Let me know your thoughts!! Thanks everyone!

I'm selling my old backup monitor. It's only SD, but with the Decimator it can be used with HD cameras. Also works great with old analog Film cameras. Can be tested in Switzerland or Germany, preferably shipping within the EU. I'd love to get around 250 Euros for it (plus shipping), but I'm open to reasonable offers. The decimator itself is pretty handy to have. 🙂 I can include some cables if needed, but it should be rather standard ones that you probably have lying around.

Hello lovely people, I am a quite new into the steadicam operating and I want to upgrade my current setup from time to time and piece by piece. Currently I am looking into a new and brighter monitor for the next upgrade. Does anybody had the chance to get their hands on this modded SWIT monitor from SmartSystem (SmartCAM SM7-3K-Z)? I am using their arm and I am very happy with that. I would like to know if it would be a reasonable purchase with the integrated ZEN system or if I should look into other monitors like the SmallHD 703 or best a Transvideo Monitor (which I think is a bit too pricey for my point of career). Maybe someone has some good advice or hands on experience with this monitor. Looking forward to hear from you guys. Until then happy shooting. Cheers Bastian https://www.smartsystem.com/product/smartcam-monitor-sm7-3k-z/

What do you use for your low-mode monitor? I'm flying a GPI kit and have been balancing with the Small HD 702 as my low-mode monitor in order for quick high/low transitions. I love having it there because it really does make things faster. But the 702 is abysmal in direct sunlight, and is too clunky to be practical. And also powering the dang thing via d-tap is an issue. I'm looking into the BlackMagic 5in Video Assist as a budget option, and a Transvideo Starlite 5in as a more permanent solution. A monitor that supports on board video recording is not strictly necessary, but I'm definitely leaning towards a monitor that supports that feature. The BlackMagic 5in seems alright but you have to do some surgery in order to power it properly from your sled. Any thoughts or tips on the matter would be much appreciated! Cheers, -Dan

Hello! I’m selling my brand new horizon monitor system from Smartsystem. This thing keeps your monitor always in the same position even if you rotate the camera. Great for trinity or ronity ops. Or steadi ops who do a lot of dutching. It came with my Matrix Package and I just don’t find myself using it, and really could use the money right now. Truly brand new out of the case. Put it on twice to practice. Comes with all you see in the pics - weights, brackets, case + power cables that I forgot to take pics of. New price is $1600 $1100 and it’s yours I’d prefer cash & local pickup in LA, but I’m willing to ship for the cost of shipping.

Helo guys!! Since long time ago, I saw in my Transvideo monitor that the ACC connector it have the 4 first pines to power + vídeo, but I don't know how it work the video side. I tried to understand it with the monitor users manual, but I couldn't. My sled is the RIG Betz, and it have a MONITOR connector at the bottom, so if I plug the SDI from the camera to the top stage bnc, do the electronic of my sled convert the HD image to have video trough this MONITOR connector at the bottom of my sled? So if I plug a 8 pins lemo cable from the bottom of my sled, to the 8 pins lemo ACC connector to the monitor, do I have power and HD video with one cable without SDI cable?! I hope I'm clear with this doubt, so thanks so much in advance!!
