Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted December 3, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Hey all, I know this is a long shot, but if anyone has an adaptor to mount a v-lock battery onto an AB mount and is anywhere near North Hollywood, I'll love you to pieces if you call me ASAP! Won't be near the internet in about 5 min. XOXOXO Brian |-)~ 912-604-2956 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted December 3, 2009 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yeah, BH photo sells 'em, a fact I was already painfully aware of. Thanks Jess for having one available, though I was unable to get it. I have a Flyer, it's not often I do a Red shoot. Last night was only the second time, in fact. Haven't bought an adapter cause I didn't think I'd need it that often, and I can borrow/rent one if needed. Same goes for a downconverter. The Red is basically the only camera I can put on my rig I would ever need a downconverter for. But then there's days like yesterday. I was on one gig, got someone to cover and left for the Steadi gig. Cover falls through, I leave late, miss the adapter I had waiting, barely got the downconverter. No problem, with the weight I had before, I can probably spare having the battery on the Red. I show up and oh no, the CF cards have been swiped for a co-owner's (of the Red) vacation. Have to use the raid drive. Okay, no battery on the rig, luckily they have a belt clip with long power cable to put the Red battery on. Call time was 7:30, I got there at 8 (called them well before to give them that as an ETA) I was ready to go by 9 (camera still packed in it's case so i had to build it) and the first take was at 12:10. I wanted to punch someone. And I haven't even gotten to the ridiculous parts yet... Brian |-)~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members AdamKeith Posted December 4, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Is an adapter made the other way ---VLock to AB. I have a TV Logic Monitor that I would love to switch over. Thanks Adam Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted December 4, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Brian, too bad you didn't think to ask me yesterday when we bumped into each other in the Clairmont parking lot, I had two of those adaptors right in my case...! Sorry I didn't see this post until now. Adam, yes, there is also an adaptor made the other direction, I only found this out yesterday. Not sure if this is the exact one we ended up getting: http://www.markertek.com/Digital-Video-Pro.../V-ABA-01.xhtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted December 4, 2009 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Thanks Charles, unfortunately I didn't even have the gig for another hour or so after I ran into you. That's double bummer then, cause where we ran into each other is where the adapter I missed was! Hope you got your wheels situation solved painlessly!
