Premium Members Peter Abraham Posted January 23, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Good morning, Glad to help you in your search. Tiffen does indeed make motor mounts for our Steadicam systems and plates. For your Clipper plate, we offer the kit of one bracket that screws into the plate with two rods for two motor clamps. Frequently folks buy these in multiples, because- as was the case with my last big rig- you need to be able to reach up and around part of the camera body to get to the lens at an advantageous point of contact. Using a few "dogbones" and rods, I was able to put my focus and iris motor wherever it needed to be. Below is the part number and price per kit. Contact me if you'd like to order them. Part # 250-7915 15mm Motor Rod Set ( 2 rods and mounting bracket ) $ 260.00 per set. Best to all, Peter Abraham Director of Technical Services, Steadicam The Tiffen Company pabraham@tiffen.com 917-453-1219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did change it within the last month, so i'm guessing that would be the issue than. I appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Mike Germond SOC Posted February 1, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Any word on Dovetail Plate Rods for the Flyer LE? If not, I can just machine some Cinewidgits rods to fit.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
