Premium Members Matt Petrosky Posted January 28, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 This is a full Preston MDR-1 steadicam setup for focus and iris, ready to go, brackets, cables, and all! A total turn-key system. I am the second owner and it has served me well for years, so well in fact that I've been hesitant to sell it--what a reliable tool! Here's what is included: MDR-1 (microwave, all possible upgrades/current boards) HU-1 (Hand Unit) HU-1 Transmitter 25+ focus marking discs (crazy I know, you can do two full sets of lenses and then some!) 2 handset batteries & charger (re-celled years ago, but usually I still get a day out of each battery) DM-1 motor (completely rebuilt: new motor and new internal gearing, only thing original is chassis housing) DM-2 motor (I bought it new and hardly ever use it, very low-miles/run-time) Both motors will come with Preston 15mm spud AND Jerry Hill-style rosette. Two complete Hill-style PAM brackets. I have 19mm PAM arms and two reducer-collets for each arm. So you can mount each motor on 19mm Arri, 5/8" Panavision, or 15mm Arri/GPI-PRO iris rods. Lots of options. 2 Motor Cables right-to-straight Run-Stop Cables: 2 Arri 24volt 3-pin RS 2 Panavision std. 10-pin 2 Arri 12volt 11-pin 1 Panavision Genesis 1 Aaton 8-pin 2 Sony Hirose 12-pin 2 Moviecam 2-pin Fischer Power Cables: 1 GPI-PRO to Preston (short steadicam jumper) Also as seen in picture: GPI-PRO Preston Dovetail Bracket (the side that mounts to the MDR) that I can include. [you'll still need the side that mounts to the donkey box] Spare Antennas: I think I have one each for MDR and HU Microforce to Hand Unit Cable (allows you to connect a Microforce to the Hand Unit, I don't have the bracket though (not that you need to zoom on Steadicam much... Asking price: $10,000 You can PM me via the forum, or for a faster response email me: mapcam (at) earthlink.net I'm on the westside of Los Angeles. Local meet-up fine. Shipping ok on buyer's dime.

Premium Members Jon Myers Posted February 1, 2012 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I also have a spare microwave receiver for an MDR-1 for whoever buys Matt's system. It's good to have a back up. I'm asking $500.00 for it. Jon Myers 818-282-5274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Matt Petrosky Posted February 8, 2012 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Update: I forgot to list that the turn-key Preston setup also comes with it's own: Pelican 1550 w/padded dividers This really is a ready-to-go-and-shoot steadicam Preston system. Also I took it to Preston to have them give it their blessing and confirm that all software and updates are current for this system. I'll see if I can get documentation from them, but anyone is welcome to call Preston for verification. This is a rock-solid working system that I am only selling because I need some of the features that the newer system has. Also of note, in the photos above, both the DM-1 & DM-2 have the fat .5" gears, the system I'm selling actually has the normal .25" gears on both motors.
