Premium Members Dean Smollar Posted May 10, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Finally buying my BDR and Heden motor next week! So psyched up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jon Beattie Posted November 30, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 So now that the BDR has been out in the field. I'd like to know how the 24v vs 12v operation has been? Jim has said on his site he recomends running it 24v. Has anyone noticed any prerformance differences?

Premium Members Kar Wai Ng Posted November 30, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have a BDR with Preston DM-1X. 24V operation is definitely very zippy; takes full advantage of the speed of the 1X motor. It is just as zippy as a Preston MDR powering the DM-1X. The BDR with a DM-1X when powered off a D-tap (14-16V) is not as fast, perhaps a tad less fast than the original DM-1 motor on a Preston MDR. While the speed is still quite serviceable, I have built myself a little voltage booster box to give the BDR 24V if I need the speed when working with a Red or any other camera without 24V distribution. It is basically a Murata UWE-24/3-Q12PB-C in a 1550PBK Hammond enclosure box, with the requisite 2 pin Lemo ports for power in and out, plus a LED display for input voltage. The enclosure is the same footprint as the BDR so I just stack the two together with velcro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Björn Köling Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi Just did a six week job with my BDR and the new alu focus discs from Louis Puli. They have a tight snug fit on the focuswheel and are easy to mark up/swipe clean. Recommended for all Bartech users. /Björn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dave Isern Posted December 19, 2011 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 The new Bartech rocks - my first dozen days with it were with Primos often in the cold. Jason Bateman/Olivia Wild flick. Worked great! Don't tighten the clip-on matte box too much though. My AC buddy's a fan already. The Digital M-1's handled cold Primos without a flinch. Thanks Jim & Don! Happy Holidays, Dave Isern, soc www.daveisern.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
