Premium Members joe mcnally Posted February 23, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Brad I may be wrong but I think Thomas is not suggesting that the battery itself cannot cope with the M1 and Bartech but that the Anton Baer tap, on video or the 11 pin on the Arri are current limited so are not ideal sources of power for heavier loads. You should try to power it direct from the battery in some way. I dont know what rig you have so cannot advise, let me know Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Joshua Harrison Posted February 24, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 BFD rocks Depending which motor you use, I strongly recomend powering off the sled rather than the camera if on film. Particularly the sr3 Li-Ion batteries cannot cope with the demands of the M-motor. The same is probably true of V-lock Li-Ions. Whoa!!!! hang on ! I'm about to buy a bartec and an M One, and I was planning to use the gimbal mount remote control to control focus for live TV gigs. In this configuration I was hoping to be able to use a single Li Ion batt (I'm able to double up and use two batts in parralell, but hoping to shed some wieght and only one batt for lengthy live gigs). Are you saying that the M One will need more juice than a single IDX endura 10s can supply, thus I'll be stuck with all three batts on the bottom of my sled if I want to run gimbal mounted ff? :unsure: let me know if you can shed any more light on how many batteries I must bare!!! That question is probably best directed to Jim Bartell or palomar. Jim knows very well what kind of demands that can be placed on his system with all the different kinds of motors. As for a quality system, that is completely reliable that is relatively inexpensive, there is only one, the Bartech. BTW Jim if you're reading this did I see you walk through Panavision Woodland Hills today? I was on the phone and by the time I was off you were gone, sorry I didn't get to say "hi."

Think - alot like a pro 1 electonically (or see the steadyrig site). If what you say is true, I'm a happy steadicamer.... easy to power the ff from the rig...... question is will the idx's handle the bartech and the m one, one on one??? Jim, Bueler, anyone???? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Anders Holck Petersen Posted February 27, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 question is will the idx's handle the bartech and the m one, one on one??? Jim, Bueler, anyone???? :unsure: The Idx 10s can handle a max load of 73W peak. That's about 5A at 14.4V. The BFD & M-One is rated at max. 3A when the motor is travelling at full speed. So it should work fine :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Guido Lux Posted March 3, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I have a full SCORPIO setup and a BFD! All I can say is!Those are two excellent sets!But to be honest: the SCORPIO stays in the case most of the time!My BFD is light,easy and quick to setup and uses 9V blocks! Just wonderful!!!Thanks Jim!
