Premium Members Thorsten Alt Posted May 23, 2018 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Dear forum, I just got back my G70x from repair. The link pivot (connection screw between ride- and lift-knob, upper arm segment, please see fotos attached) broke on set while performing a lock-off shot. No extreme forces. Camera setup was an Alexa Mini (Ultra Prime, battery, Cine Measure, Teradeck). It was a wrap for the Steadicam. Earlier this night I did some shots from a quad, surely the arm was forced more on these shots, but it didn't get any hard strokes or anything. Did this issue come up anywhere else? The feedback I received from Tiffen was not very enlightened. Things can get broken (in this case it should not, in my opinion) and you can call it bad luck. But I desperatley would like to know, what the chances are, this might happen again. It's most unfortunate, if you can't continue shooting and I need to figure out, if I keep my old Silver Spring arm as a backup and have it with me when shooting in the future. Thanks to Betz Tools for the kind service!!! Would be very thankful for any useful comments. Thanks, Thorsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
