Fernando A. Vazquez Schmidt Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi, I have been asked to mount a 16mm camera on a Artemis Cine broad cast, asking local Steadicam OP´s on what I need to have in mind the Image monitoring is one of the subjects I haven´t thought about, what is best for converting analog to digital? and what other things I need to have in mind? Thank you for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Louis Puli SOC Posted September 23, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I hope you will be using a Arri SR 2 or 3 or an Aaton XTR with digital video splits .The quality of these splits were never great but usable . I would also ask your DP to use as little ND as it will only decrease again the quality of the V/split. I would be looking at replacing your current monitor with a Analog monitor .There a lot of monitors out there which have analog inputs ok. With regards to Low mode if you don't have a classic LM cage or the right camera bracket I would NOT go poor man LM as there are many issues with doing that ok . Good luck with the shoot Louis Puli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando A. Vazquez Schmidt Posted September 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thank you so much for the answer, I´m wondering what is the cage for, can you please post photos of the cage with the camera to know what it´s for? I have never seen a cage like that before. Again thank you for your time and answer. I´m looking in to getting a Analog monitor right now.

Premium Members Corey Hess Posted September 24, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hey Fernando, Mounted like this picture. The camera sits in the cage while the top portion is mounted onto your top stage. This way the camera sits upright while you're in low mode and the film path is not affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando A. Vazquez Schmidt Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Oh! I see, it makes total sense! thank you, I’m making my own, Is it possible to build a multi brand/model cage or is better to build one for each camera I’m using.

Premium Members Corey Hess Posted September 24, 2020 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 The cage above is pretty universal as far as I know, so you shouldn't run into too much of a problem if you're trying to do something similar to it on your own. I would imagine camera clearance and access to magazines would be the biggest issue, but I don't have much knowledge about machining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando A. Vazquez Schmidt Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I will keep that in mind. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
