For Sale: Complete Tiffen Ultra with HD upgrade - ready-to-use.

Hello!

I am looking to sell my Tiffen Ultra which I purchased in 2017. It’s a complete and functional kit, ready-to-use. Because I am moving country, I can sadly not take it with me so I am not only selling the Steadicam but also offer any new owner their pickings of any of my gear that I used when operating free-of-charge.

 

I bought this Steadicam in 2017 and believe I am the 3rd owner. It served me very well and has been regularly serviced.

In my experience the Tiffen Ultra allowed me to fly any camera I was handed, anything from an ARRI Mini up to 35-milimeter Film cameras such as the ARRI Arricam ST as well as a Moviecam Compact.

The rig was made for heavier cameras, however with some weighted plates the previous owner had custom made, you can bring the newer digital cameras up to a very comfortable operating weight. Furthermore, this Ultra  has been modified with an HD line as well as comes with a Blackmagic Converter all already pre-wired so you can run the newer Cameras feed down to the rigs monitor.

This kit is great for anyone looking to upgrade into a commercially useable rig without having the budget for a brand new one. It was my first “proper” rig and served me very well, allowing me to operate with all cameras that were given to me at an affordable price by giving away only a few creature comforts in comparison to a brand-new rig.

While a little older, it still comes with quite a few nice features. The post is carbon-fibre and it has a motorised tilt-stage. It is tool-free and can take a max payload of 22kg (according to the manual).

The rig is currently in Birmingham, UK to view. I am open to discuss shipping if needed.

£ 15000.- OBO.

If you have any questions, I am happy to answer.
