Premium Members charlesneufeld Posted March 21, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hello all, Just curious if anyone has the colour/weight ranges/approx. price of the different springs available for the 3A, and where to get them? (I'm going to guess with Mr. Luna)... I'm flying alot of DV's right now, and well..the 30lbs weightcage would be nice to eliminate, but my gold springs seem to love that cage with a passion. <_< Thanks in advance!

Premium Members DaleWoodrow Posted March 22, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Hi Charles, Contact Hugo from RigEngineering at admin@steadyrig.com, he can provide you with accurate specs on all components of the 3a arm, he is very knowledgable, offers great service and is highly regarded on this forum. Take a look at www.steadyrig.com. Dale Woodrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted April 23, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Better late then never... Hi Charles, There are a couple of companies that do Arm and Spring maintenance/upgrades/modifications... Robert Luna of course but also: - Daniel Sauve - Howard Smith (MK-V) - Hugo Langer and his Silver Spring conversion (Rig Engineering) - Tiffen (They still have springs in stock for the 3A/EFP Arm, last time I checked) Spring Color: Median Load: (+/- 2.5lbs) Red 37 Green 40 Blue 45 Black 51 Gold 54 EFP 24 to 39 lbs 3A lightweight 29 to 47 lbs 3A standard 37 to 57 lbs Master Broadcast 40 to 57 lbs Master Film/Elite 42 to 67 lbs I'm also including the Master Arms as in the past people have substituted 3A springs with Master Springs to reach higher load capability. I hope that helps. Erwin Landau, SOC www.landaucamera.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
