For sale: A Preston DM1 Motor (Ser# 1019) with Bracket and Motor Cable. Please see photos. Asking $1195 USD

This is my venerable Preston FIZ system. It's a Gen 2 handset with the rubber hand-grip and the Sony battery adapter. The MDR comes with easily swappable Gen 2 and Gen 3 boards for compatibility with Gen 3 handsets which most focus pullers have. Included are a DM1 and a DM2 motor. The DM2 comes with the Panavision 64 pitch iris gear. There's a hardwire motor controller and cables as the ultimate backup. Lots of cables for MDR power, PRO Steadicam power to the MDR, several different camera run cables, and two cables for the motors with right angle connectors on one side and straight on the other. Spare antennas. The MDR comes with the dovetail adapter plate for the PRO dovetail. Three Sony batteries and a charger. Two original Preston batteries (both very dead and in need of re-celling) and their charger. Everything is in good working condition and shows expected wear and tear.

For sale is my Preston HU2 with omnishot battery adapter, 1 battery, charger, extra antenna, 13 marking disks, and rain cover. Was serviced at Preston in August with a clean bill of health and has been sitting on my shelf collecting dust since. Its G3. I also have the G3 board to make it compatible with MDR 2 sold separately. Great hand unit for your first wireless focus system. Just need a MDR and a motor. And of course its a PRESTON, known worldwide as the best wireless focus system. PM with any questions. $1100 Also have G3 board for MDR 2. PM me for details.

This is an analog MicroForce zoom control from Preston. It’s had a new knob installed a few years ago, and got a clean bill of health from Preston at that point. I’ve used it a few times over the years, but there’s now an identical one from the rental house in my show’s camera package, so this has just sat in the case. Includes 2 MicroForce to Hand Unit cables - one short, one 30’ (perfect for letting the DP run zoom off of a monitor without disturbing the 1st AC). Asking $750. Email me if you’re interested. willsvideo@gmail.com

I’m finally moving out some of my old Preston gear as I make some upgrades. This MDR served me well through many TV shows, commercials, and features, and was babied in its life before I got it. I carried this kit (without a Hand Unit) onto many shows, and it proved valuable. If you have a Steadicam body on the show, leave this MDR on the Steadi body, and your focus puller just has to switch channels on the hand unit from your studio camera. My current show has gone all WCU-4, so I’m not getting enough use out of this to warrant keeping it right now. The MDR was firmware updated in mid-2017, and works beautifully with even the most updated HU3. This package has a goldmine of cables, more than in many rental units. There are over $2000 in cables alone in the kit, especially the sometimes hard-to-find originally $600 Cinetape interface. I paid $4000 for this package in May of 2016. Asking $2750 for the package with all cables. Will not part out.
