Samuel Navas Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi chaps, First post! I own an Ultra sled (SD/24V), and would like the option of powering accessories from the stage. Is the 3-pin Lemo connector the same 3-pin Lemo Arri uses to power its 12V accessories? I.e. Can Arri's readily-available cables plug into my sled? Secondly, I would like a get-out-of-shit option like a 3-pin Lemo to D-tap, or 3-pin Lemo to XLR in my kit - to whom would you UK operators go to have something like that made? Thanks for your time. Best, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brian Freesh Posted May 17, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum! Well, Arri never used a 3pin Lemo to power 12v accessories. Arri uses a 3pin Fischer for 24v accessories, 11pin Fischer for 12v accessories. And on the Alexa they also have a 2pin Lemo for 12v. And the Ultra had a 2pin Lemo 12v to power accessories, though yours may have been modified, or maybe the later runs of Ultras had the 3pin for all I know. And the Alexa 2pin Lemo is reversed polarity from the Ultra 2pin Lemo. So, no, you cannot use Arri accessory cables on your sled. I suppose you could just have a small adapter cable made (x2) so you don't need to get a whole bunch of new cables. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Victor Lazaro Posted May 17, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 The 3 pin lemo for 12/24v power is a standard on Steadicam. Terry West in California made a P-tap to Lemo cable for me Otherwise ask your local rental house if they can make one locally or if they know anyone.

It is now, used to be 2pin Lemo 12v, which is what the Ultra originally shipped with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyce Go Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 We make connectors like Lemo and fischer in china... I know XLR,but I am not very familiar with D-tap. If you need,we can make them for you,it is much cheaper of the goods themselves, but the shipping cost would be much high if you just need several.
