Steadicam Scout Post/Sled Cable Upgrade

[Nicholas Lymberis]

Hi All,

I am a newbie who had exposure to the Zephyr at Film School and recently had the chance to purchase a very good condition Scout for $3k AUD which spec-wise suits my RED Raven setup perfectly (mechanically).

However, I didn't full appreciate the cable in the post was analog and not SDI, so now am trying to understand whether I can swap out this cable for an hd-sdi, or whether the best work around is just using an sdi to analog converter from black magic as part of my rig?

I'd prefer the swap out as, as I get better, I'd like to throw my Shogun 7 on there in place of the stock monitor, or upgrade to a better hd-sdi monitor etc.

Thanking you in advance for your help.
