Premium Members David Baldwin Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Hello everyone Looking for a 3a docking bracket. If you're in LA, I can get you cash-money immediately. Thanks. David Baldwin 323 313 7692 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members WillArnot Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I am going through my old storage in NYC as we speak, and literally just came up with an old Master series docking fork, and docking collar for the post. I think the master was a touch wider than a 3A? Perhaps 1 5/8". Can anyone confirm this? ... so I know what I have :huh: It is only the fork part - So you would still need the docking stand part w/ the balancing stud, like the one Jerry Hill sells for the Gorelock.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted June 4, 2007 Moderators Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Will, If you have time while in NYC give me a ring (I'll be in LA in a couple of weeks for CineGear too). The Master post is 1.58" 3a/EFP/PRO is 1.5" Cheers, Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted June 4, 2007 Moderators Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Eric, Still hammering out the schedule, but I should be at the show all day Fri & Sat so let's hook up even if just for coffee since I know you won't have much time to see the gear. Other possibility is we hook up earlier in the week because I'm coming in the weekend before (although that may get pushed back because of work - still the best way to get work - buy plane tickets). Let's talk. Alec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 There is one on ebay right now. 4 Days left to bid, good luck LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members WillArnot Posted June 4, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 That looks like the exact same docking bracket fork that I have. What I suspect is that CP made the fork slightly oversized and then beefed out the docking ring to sit properly in the fork. Because the docking collar is tapered, not flat - sitting on a flat fork like the PRO / DeRose style. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Peter Milanov Posted June 5, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have had an EFP, an ultra and now an ultra2 and the docking brackets are all the same exept, of course, the balancing stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members David Baldwin Posted June 6, 2007 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks for the replies, fellas. Here's a newbie question: Can DB be achieved with these old CP docking brackets? Jerry Hill's website tells the PRO owners out there that their 'spin balance' issues will be a thing of the past with his gizmo. How 'bout with the 3a or EFP docking bracket? Same issues? I'm running a PRO 2 post with a 3a gimbal. I might bite the bullet and get the JHDB anyway, but I'm trying to pinch a penny or two and am looking for a cost effective solution for a spin-balance-capable docking bracket. Any input?

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted June 6, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hey David, Yes the CP/Tiffen Dock can be used to Dynamicly balance your rig... But you will wish you had spend a couple more bucks (on the Gorelock), the first time an AC pulls the mag and lets the Center Post take the hit... and there you have the first dig or scratch on your rig... or the first time you try to pull the stand over a set of cables... Do You need it? No, but I do. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members David Baldwin Posted June 6, 2007 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Erwin it's funny you responded to this post. My 1st draft ended something like this: "I can always ask Erwin this question, but I've pestered that guy enough..."
