Brian D. Goff Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I'm doning a job next week with an Arri III. The issue came up, that the Camera might blow a fuse if I use my PAG 14.4 Batteries - has anyone got any advise for using 14.4V batteries with Arri III. Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SebastianMatthias Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 hey brian ! you shouldn´t have any problems with that arri 3. important is what comes out of your rig and what the camera wants. don´t worry, it wil be okay. (there should be a spare fuse with that camera anyway,but you won´t need it) cheers sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Brad Hruboska Posted April 6, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 A new Arri 3 with a cinematography electronics base should have no problems at all....just be sure to give the base a sepaerate power source for high speed work over 60 fps. I recommend not leaving both batteries connected below 60. :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members David Campbell Posted April 10, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Arri IIIs are sensitive to overvoltage but your 14.4 v batteries should be ok. Don't use batteries hot off the charger though as this may cause trouble. Also keep in mind that you will need to supply power to the video tap camera. If you try to use power from the camera to power the video tap you will have a great picture on your monitor right up until the Director calls roll and then, due to grounding problems with this camera, the video image will almost certainly fall apart. Hope your job goes well! David Campbell dscmove@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
