" We will also make a version to use with the Cinetronic monitor, which eliminates the pivot from the yoke spigot."

 

 

Allow me to understand this correctly. You will make a version that doesn't use the PRO spigot? for the Cinetronic? This makes sense if I have understood it correctly. Would the two versions be interchangeable by just swapping a couple of bits out or would one need two whole monitor brackets.

 

Is there a price yet on this monitor bracket?

[chris bangma]

The non pivoting arm will have a different end piece, that the clamp block will sit in, which prevents it from rotating. The clamp block will still have the normal spigot, so it can be used on a different monitor arm. It is just the end piece of the monitor arm that is different.

 

Price for the monitor arm is $495.

[chris bangma]

The monitor arm has been added to www.film-stuff.com for anyone interested in ordering. We have plenty in stock.

Chris how about marrying the monitor onto the ultra 2 monitor mount Tiffen uses?

[Brian Freesh]

Jon, I talked to Mike Skipps months ago about doing that for my Ultra 1. I didn't like his solution cause it would have negated the ability to rotate the yolk. I think others have gone that route and been fine with it. I had an idea to make a piece sized for my rods that has a pro/xcs/cinetronic hole, but never had it made. It would be the same piece that the monitor mounts to on the XCS and Cinetronic monitor arms, just sized for Tiffen rods.

 

I should have that made.

I think this would be all you need to mount the cinetronic to the ultra 2.

"To attach a monitor on 16mm rods with spacement of 89mm."

 

 

 

 

16mm rods???

[Brian Freesh]

Tiffen rods are a hair under 16mm, and are a hair under 89mm apart (at least mine are), so if that's a hole for a Pro spud, then yes, that would probably work. I'm surprised Transvideo would make such a thing, but if it is what it more or less appears to be, that's perfect. Wish there was more info on the website, and pictures from another angle. I'll give them a call on monday.

 

It looks like that hole is for one of these: http://www.transvideo.eu/en/Silver-Spigot which makes me wonder if it would fit the spud on a Pro/XCS/Cinetronic.

This mount will not work.

When I got my Gen I, i was looking for a solution, but the only one I found, was to get a bracket made for the Tiffen rods, as they are slightly larger than 16 mm.

[chris bangma]

The Tiffen sleds are the main resaon we created the monitor arm. This will be the simplest and easiest way to attach the Cinetronic monitor to a tiffen sled. Also at a price of $495, it would also be one of the least expensive ways of attaching to the sled as well.

[James Baldanza SOC]

I purchased 5/8 steel rod, tapped the center to 3/8 16. Cinetronic rotated the cross beam of the monitor yoke and repined it. Steve Fracol opened up the holes on the cross beam so everything lined up.

[Jon Beattie]

Of course. Fracol!

 

Would really like to avoid changin my monitor mount and bracket. I get needed the New York but like the drop down and 2 mounting options the U2 bracket already uses.

[Rogerhaugen]

Will there be a waveform on this monitor?

That would be perfect when shooting my own stuff.....
