Premium Members Dustin Heindl Posted March 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Trying to get up to 2 channels also. Any advice? The bartech works great though, Just have the funds to upgrade =) Also considering selling the bartech if any interest? It's the digital newer one. Looking to stay around 10g's, and used is fine.

Premium Members JamieSilverstein Posted March 8, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I love the Bartech, and I love Jim. If your assistant or the show that you are on doesn't insist that you have another brand of follow focus, stay where you are and add an extra digital channel of Bartech.

Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted March 9, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why not upgrading to a Digital bartech, keep your analog, buy the digital Motor drive, get the extra slider and boom dual channel digital Bartech! Your N-one should work with it too (i think) http://www.plcelectronicsolutions.com/categories/BARTECH-DIGITAL-FOLLOW-FOCUS/?sort=pricedesc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mark Schlicher Posted March 9, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Yep buy a second digital receiver and motor, buy the slider upgrade...you're golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Dustin Heindl Posted March 9, 2013 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Just spoke with engineer to have something custom made =) Similar to the ET one, going to see if that will do the trick or I will really look into the slider upgrade for the bartech! "Why not upgrading to a Digital bartech" That's what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Daniel Stilling DFF Posted March 9, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I would definitely then buy a second BDR. The V2 is great, and with the slider upgrade on your handset you have a killer, compact system that is 16 bits and performs just as good as a Preston HU 1 or 2 with 2 channels, for a fraction of the cost. I would call Jim or Marc Alfonso and have a chat about their solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McKay Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dustin, If you would like to consider the VariZoom TOC you can call the office during regular business hours and speak to Steve Cinti 512-739-1881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted March 10, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Tom, I sorry to ask, but I heard that there was no camera Start/Stop option on the VariZoom. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evrim KAYA Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Dustin, If you would like to consider the VariZoom TOC you can call the office during regular business hours and speak to Steve Cinti 512-739-1881 All these bells and whistles but –if I remember correctly- no remote camera trigger. Don’t get me wrong, I like what I saw but omitting such a basic feature would be deal breaker for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom McKay Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Tom, I sorry to ask, but I heard that there was no camera Start/Stop option on the VariZoom. Is that true? Hi Victor, That was true and was not such a problem for many of our customers using in different applications. We have added it in the newest version, with additional features as well, that we expect to release in April and show at NAB. Our system does offer some features found on much higher end systems costing significantly more. If you wish to start with a single channel but keep the option of expanding you can buy our 3 channel unit with just one motor and add two channels (zoom and Iris / 2 more channels) later as our receiver handles all three channels. So no need for additional receivers just buy another drive motor(s). Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
