Time for an upgrade?


Mark Sparrough

Recommended Posts

I have a pair of analog Bartechs(transmitter s, receivers, lots of cables, antennas, dog bones, adapters) that I bought used 11 years ago. We can all attest to Jim Bartell’s engineering and customer service. Since they are backups, they are very rarely used, but are in great shape. The motors(a pair of M-Ones) on the other hand, are a mess. They are currently in London and it’s unclear when, if ever, they will clear customs, how long the repair will take and whether they are worth repairing. I’m wondering whether I should buy more analog motors or sell these systems and go digital? Thoughts?

I would definitely go digital ; Focus puller are now used to lens mapping , automatic calibration. You might get a couple dollars from the Bartechs but most of the ones still on sets are probably buried in cases as backups of backups .... They once were great units and I used them too ,as most here , but I have not seen one in years on set . Time to move on .
