Premium Members Frederic Chamberland Posted July 26, 2021 Premium Members Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hi, This is a unique item here , up for sale is my beloved Maxima that I literally chopped in half : I am a Trinity owner operator and wanted a stabilized head to go on the dolly and cranes super fast from Trintiy . Since the Maxima shares all of the electronics, cables , and technology , the decision was simple. Sadly , the Maxima is designed to be a gimbal with both handles on each side. This prevents the pan to go anywhere if it's not hand operated. I took the thing to my machinist and we took away one side of the handles , we now have almost 300 degrees of pan. Problem solved. The tilt is still not very convincing but I would say it does the job 80% of the time . I really loved the thing but it's time to move to the big sister : I am getting an SRH head next week . Time to let this one go . You will get: ( in the video , you see accessories not included , please refer to this list only ) •Modified Maxima head with gold mount plate (transport case included) •mitchell base on the bottom and mitchell mount on top •Short QL Plate Gen2 for SRH-3, TRINITY, MAXIMA with two set screws •(2) power cables (Arri mini and RED ) •rods and plates to go back to original mode(*) •Veracity wheels in perfect condition •JETI(arri) and Spectrum radio (, MOVI and LETUS gimbals) •Wheels Dtap power cable, cable to link both wheels, cable for upgrades, PPM cable •Maxima manual •Veracity Wheels Manual YOU WILL NEED : a laptop with FOMA software to make changes to the rig. I am keeping my laptop for my trinity . The fine prints : The Spektrum radio module with the wheels was never tested , I bought the wheels with that module on, but changed it right away withthe JETI one. Price reflects this. The top Maxima pan motor is unplugged from the board : while we disassembled the rig , both motors were off sync and fighting each other when put back together. After a call to FOMA , they were super helpful and we decided to unplug one of the motors (the top one since the weight of the rig is at the bottom). It does not affect at all the performance of the rig. I have never experienced lag or anyhting related to having one motor less . (*)This modification to the frame was never intended to be reverted back to normal : we deliberately decided to do it once and used locktite to make sure the rig would be rock solid . Of course, if you REALLY wanted to go back , I guess it could be done but be warned this will be a venture. Since we have messed with the integrity of the unit, messed with the motors, you understand there is NO WARRANTY at all on this particular piece of equipment. The unit is 100% working right now. ASKING 11000 $USD Payment will be thru wire or credit card . Paypal is accepted using friends option . Sale in Canada will have taxes applied to the sale . Shipping thru FEDEX on your account . The Veracity wheels will be sold with the Maxima only.
