The Geo arms

[Lars Erik]

yes the post diameter on the master is 18.9mm thanks a.holck and lars.erik (your is 13 mm is that right)

and the post is mounted on a roller ring .

 

That's correct.

[Hervé Colosio]

13 mm is very tiny ,

the 3A is 15.9 mm and the master 18.9mm

that i'm looking is on the g50 with what you says

there is some with 18.9mm post and some with 15.9mm (or 13mm)

does the change comes from the roller ring on the arm ? or does the change comes from the type of posts like a post adaptor and the roller ring is always the same ?

[Jerry Holway]

All-

You should order your G-50 with the post size that fits your rig. It's possible to machine adapters to go from the smaller sizes to the larger MS/Ultra diameter (.740 inches), but there's always a possibility of the adapter slipping off when you dock the rig.

thanks jerry , i will ask regis in france to order the g50 with the post for master .

as it's new it's not easy , and nothing is written on the tiffen website about that .

[Anders Holck Petersen]

Here is a few shots with of my arm with the post removed:

 

Here I have removed the outer post, revealing the inner post (made of titan?) notice the groove whict secures the outer post.

 

The post is secured by two hex screws. The first one sits all the way into the small hole in the arm post and connects to the groove on the inner post.. The second one sits above and cover the first screw in the same hole.

 

Seems to be a pretty easy task to make a 5/8" adapter, if I should want one.

[Hervé Colosio]

thank you very much for the details and the pictures , now i see exactly how it's made .

Did anybody hear what price Tiffen is asking for the G70 arm?

I heard anything between $12'000.- and $17'000.-... but nothing in stone as of yet. Would be a shame to go way over as they did with the G-50. You could say that the other manufacturers were lucky that Tiffen didn't stick with there original price of $7500.-

It would have erased a lot of businesses and flooded the used market with arms...

 

But the Steadicam name would have rained once again over most retro rigs out there... The 3A arm design is still not dead yet.

 

 

We'll see,

It's me again! Hi, Carl and Erwin!

 

I heard it should be close to $19000 !!!Now, I would really like to know since I ordered mine about 2 months ago!!

Guido,

 

Are you buying a $19,000. arm and a $19,000. Handsfree? I wish I could do that!

Hello everyone,

 

does anyone know where to get a long post for the G-50 arm to be used on the Steadicam Archer? Need to get high mode option on my rig.

 

The trick is that the post on the arm is only 13mm. I know this is tiny compared to a Master. Can I get an adaptor if this post isn't available?

 

Thanks for any tips

 

 

Fly safe and beautiful...

Sorry. This topic should probably be in Brackets/Widgets. Can any of you moderators move it?

 

Thanks

Lars,

 

I dunno, I think it fits well in arms (topic wise). I think if I was looking for a part for a G-50, I'd look under arms???? If you really want to though, we'll move it.

 

Another reason it should be under arms is that I'm going to refer you to the arm guru himself, Robert Luna, for your arm posts. When I had a Master arm, Rob made a whole set of killer arm posts adapting the arm to an XCS gimbal.

 

Robert Luna, 323-938-5659 (he's not too big on email, so call).

 

Good luck.

Nope this is an arm question, and here it will stay

[Lars Erik]

Alec and Eric,

 

thanks for setting where the topic should be straight.

 

I'll give Robert a call. Whereabouts is he located? Thinking of the time difference. Is he on the west or east coast?

 

Again, thanks guys.
