kurt nolen Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hi there, folks. My frankenstein sled uses the monitor yoke from an Tiffen/Steadicam Archer 1 and I'm looking pretty hard at a Cinetronic II. Cinetronic says they know of "some operators mounting [their] monitors on Archer sleds" but I don't know if that's Archer 1, 2 or if they were having yokes custom machined. I'd obviously prefer as little downtime as possible and I'd rather not go the custom machining route if I can avoid it. So if there's anybody out there that actually put a Cinetronic in an Archer yoke, I'd love to hear the details. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if you can mount a monitor with a pro spigot you can mount a Cinetronic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that if you can mount a monitor with a pro spigot you can mount a Cinetronic That's the trick, I don't believe a Pro Spigot would work on my rig - while the guts are all Pro, the rest of it is either tiffen or custom fabricated. The original Archer 1 yoke mounts onto a block attached to the end of two rails, so it's looking like either the monitor (if I'm lucky) would fit into the existing yoke, or it's off to a machine shop.

Premium Members Thomas K. Jensen Posted October 17, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hey Kurt. I had the same issue with my Clipper 3, and had to make my own.Mounting Cinetronic on Clipper But when I get my new Gen II Cinetronic, I'll get a yoke, that Curt from Artemis/Sachtler will make.That fit's the Clipper's post. Hope that helps? Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike skipp Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi Kurt We are in the process of making a telescoping post bracket that will fit the Gen 1 or Gen 2 Cinetronic monitor yoke (all you have to do is tell us what post size when ordering). It will be available for purchase when we start shipping the Gen 2 monitor very soon. Mike Cinetronic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
