Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted November 18, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi guys, I'm looking for a tally light kit that I can have on my Steadicam monitor, running a photocell cable or whatever down from the camera. If anyone has one complete with cable and power for it if needed, or knows where I can find one I'd really appreciate it! Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Brant S. Fagan SOC Posted November 19, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Folks-- Peter Abramham does in fact make those and now has a new and improved version that allows placement of the LED, by itself, wherever the user chooses! Plenty of cable and velcro in the right places, too! I know he has a batch of them ready to ship as he showed the new version off last month at the SOA Workshop where we were teaching together. I use my tally, both styles now and can't recommend them highly enough. Best, Brant S. Fagan, SOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members David Allen Grove Posted November 19, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Brant and Peter... Do either of you guys have a web site for your products? I have Brant's info under "Sales" on the Steadicam Guild web site but no link to a web site yet. If you have a web site, I can put a link to it on the guild's website or if you want to, send me photos of your product and I can add them to your listing. Let me know.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted November 19, 2004 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Thanks very much guys, email has been sent to Peter Abraham! It would be a great idea to get a website going for them. I've been trawling the web looking for such a site for ages. It might only be a niche market, but every Steadicam Op needs one and by all accounts it's a top class product! Thanks again to you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted November 19, 2004 Moderators Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 This place is great. I saw Jason's posting and was all excited to rave about my friend Peter's system, to find that other friends of mine were already doing so.

Premium Members AdamKeith Posted November 20, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Peter made me a couple of Steadicam Tallys. He also made me a 30' Tally for my jib arm. :) Adam Keith www.qvideo.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted November 28, 2004 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well, it works fantastically! Working outside is no problem at all - the LED is easily bright enough for it to be seen outside, which is the main concern. It's easy to concentrate on framing and the light is easily visible out of the corner of your eye. I mounted it just at the top of the monitor over the centre of the screen with a bit of gaffer tape and it worked fine. Plenty of cable to get from the rear of the camera down to my monitor and it's nice and lightweight, which makes it no problem to my operating. I have a sun visor on the way shortly for the monitor, so when it arrives I plan to make a small hole that I can poke the LED through and mount it to the underneath of the visor, over the monitor - which should look fanastic and work brilliantly!
