Premium Members Aaron King Posted January 5, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I am wanting to see who out there owns and rents a Preston Gimbal Micro Force. I might have a need for one coming up. I have an MDR2, so I'm not sure if they are compatible, or if there is an older model that exists. Thanks for any input.

Premium Members Jarrett P. Morgan Posted January 5, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Aaron,There are two models: an older one that uses its own digital motor controller (http://www.steadicamforum.com/index.php?showtopic=20644) and the new one that preston sells that uses the MDR3's analog input port. The new one is not compatible with the MDR2 or 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Aaron King Posted January 6, 2016 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Thanks, Jarrett. I figured that would be the case with their current model. If that's the scenario with their previous model, I might be better off getting ahold of a G-Zoom since those are more widespread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jarrett P. Morgan Posted January 6, 2016 Premium Members Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 If you have a controller, I have a betz box that allows you to use a fuji controller with a digital motor for zoom or focus. Let me know if you want to play with it or try it. I am not using it as of now. Shoot me a text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
