MagnusBalte Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 Jim is great news, I want two units, tomorrow you CEPROM Isabel called for party of making the order. I have a doubt that if a motor using 28vpm Heden Bezt-tolls or which I recommend. Jorge Agero Madrid-Spain Hi Jorge, I look forward to hearing from Isabel. The BFD will not work with the Heden M28VP. It should work with the Betz BTM motor. Jim The Fstop wireless receiver has been tested and it is compatible with Hedén M26VE and Hedén M21VE motors. Magnus Balte Hedén Engineering Co.

Premium Members JimBartell Posted July 15, 2010 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 So many questions! Yes, this unit is made by PLC Electronic Solutions, the Libra head and iPhone fSTOP guys in Vancouver. They just put a different RF board and some new software and Presto, the BDR. Jim will I be able to use all of my bfd on/off cables and power cables that I all ready have or will I need to buy extra cables .Is it a single cable or 2 seperate cables for on /off and power ? The BDR has one connector for both power and run/stop. This is great if you are powering the unit from the camera (ARRI or Panavision 10-pin) but less convenient if you are powering it from from your Steadicam. Also, the best performance is obtained when using 24V power, although it will function with 12V but the motor won't be as fast. At this point in time I am going to build Y-cables for Steadicam use and possibly a break-out box in the future. Analog motors can't be converted to digital at this time. It is possible this may be offered in the future but I can't say for sure. I don't have a price for the BDR with a BFD handset as all my handsets are going with regular BFD systems for the near future until I get less back ordered . I am only selling the BDR as an accessory at this time. I have 12+ systems in stock so I can ship immediately. Jim Bartell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted October 15, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 So when using stiff lenses how does it compare to a regular bartech with M1? How about when using 12v? It seems that Red jobs are the ones where I end up with the stiffest lenses (usually broken super speeds) and there always seems to be a reason to power off the camera so no 24v. Also why couldn't yall figure out a way to fit separate run and power connectors? Preferably with the same connectors the bartech currently uses. Requiring a breakout box to use it the way most Steadicam ops use it seems like a huge design flaw to me. If you wanted things to be clean when using only one cable you could have had one port be power/run and the other be either just power or just run. Okay enough ranting, overall looks like a great product that will keep ACs from bitching about the lack of auto calibrate on the bartech. ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted October 15, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 is it really a hirose connector? ...hopefully my old eyes deceive me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bartell I just bought the BFD handset with the digital receiver as a backup before leaving for Berlin on a movie. I never took it out of the box until a week ago, when we were filming at the famous Berlin Tower. It is an area of intense radio traffic and my Preston MDR2 was freaking out. We took out the Bartech, and it worked fine. The receiver is so light that we left it velcroed to the body of the Arricam LT, and it powered off the RS pin that was also camera start stop. The auto calibration works flawlessly, although the calibrate button is a little hard to reach. Great product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Sanjay Sami Posted October 17, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 BTW I used it with my preston motor which was already rigged to the rods on my sled - worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
