Premium Members Jason Torbitt Posted April 25, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 It will be good to see an updated price list / parts list up there. I also see the G70 is mentioned on the site, under the 'Ultra2' .pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Gustavo Penna Posted April 25, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 it took STEADICAM (TIFFEN ) 15 years to realize that the "PRO MK-V" modular design is the way to go. they even copied the shelf that holds the accesories. but still is no mach for the MK-V nor the PRO.

bobgilles Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Amen to that brother! Tiffen really does not has a totally modular system at all, Panavision, Arri, Moviecam, GPI Pro and everyone else in the biz does. A MK-V can go from Flyer weights to Film Master series weight ranges in a a quick no tools conversion, Tiffen makes you buy a whole new rig!!!

Premium Members Rich Cottrell Posted April 30, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I did not get out to NAB, so... Did anyone check out the new BUZ hardwired zoom system from Bartech Engineering? thanks, rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Chris Konash Posted April 30, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Rich, I spent a bit of time talking to Jim about his new BUZ box. Definitely a cool new toy that will be out soon. It's about time there is a reasonably priced zoom control out there that will be as reliable as the more expensive units. He has just a few last bits to finalize but it does exist and is looking great. The physical size takes up less space as the BFD receiver and when talking to Jim about a mount for the two he said "well NASA developed it a while ago and it's know as Velcro" Power connection is the same as a BFD and can be daisy chained off of the BFD Jim said he will ship the units with a standard VariZoom control with the Tajimi connector on it (for easy replacement if needed). But he will be more than happy to put a Hirose connector on it for those people like myself with a Tiffen J-7 Zoom, or any other type of connector that other zoom controls use (Except the 1/8? LANC control). Price wise he was estimating somewhere in the 600-700 range. The prototype that he had was very well built, rugged, and VERY smooth at extremely slow speeds (with a Tach motor of course).

LANC control). Price wise he was estimating somewhere in the 600-700 range. Thanks, Chris! Just a few clarifications: The BUZ electronics module by itself will be in the $500-$600 range. The Varizoom unit with 8-pin Tajimi is $349 (the list price), $75 extra if you want the standard cable replaced with ultra-flexible cable for steadicam use. The BUZ connector is either a 8-pin Tajimi (Fuji/Canon), 6-pin Hirose (J-7) or 12-pin Hirose (Fuji/Nikon). The package price (BUZ + Varizoom+power cable+motor cable) will be under $1000.
