Guest sebastian matthias Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi all, have a job coming up with the 235 and are looking at lo-mode. Anyone done this? Is there a bracket available yet? Thanks, Will Eichler Detroit, MI Hello Will ! I had the 235 once for an Audi commercial and there is no video-top for it.(or at least ARRI couldn´t deliver one) but it just fit perfectly in my BAERBEL low mode cage. It took a bit to figure out how,and we needed some taping on the cage to prevent scratches on the new camera , but in the end we managed to get it in and even were able to change mags with the cage build on ! Pictures turned out fine, no jittering ! Just can recommend getting one ! Hope that helps! All the best ,good luck and good vibes Sebastian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Frederic Chamberland Posted May 21, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi Will, The low-mode bracket does exists, ask your rental house to get it, or if you have time, Locations Michel Trudel, the Arri rental house here in Montreal, has one, ask for Guy at the camera department, 514-932-2171. It looks like the Arricam LT plate, same design. Lots of holes and very sturdy, takes 1 minute to install. Worth the trouble to get it. Click here for 235 PDF..Page 3 shows bracket Fly safe.

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted May 21, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Will, I see that you're in the states. If your local rental house does not carry it, CSC in New York does (212-757-09060. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Will Eichler Posted May 21, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Thanks for the help! It looks like we'll go the CSC route if the job goes. Best, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Mark Karavite Posted May 23, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hey Will, I remember seeing an ad for a real Steadicam mag for the 235, I think SL Cine might make it. I know it's not an Arri mag (although they say one is in the works), but I know it exists. Having done both Steadicam and handheld with the "Dolphin" shoulder mag, I think that mag should stay in the handheld world. CSC probably has that mag as well. Good luck, Mark Karavite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Stephen Murphy Posted May 23, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Arri have a dedicated steadimag (400ft only) for the 235 and a beautifull low mode bracket. I used both a while back and they worked very well. I love that camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 24, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 There is a very nice "Camera section" a little bit lower down the topic list... Sorry couldn't resist. The lay out of the 235 (and the 416 which is the same in design and uses the same IVS) is in that way that you can just remove the optics and ARRI provides just a plate that covers the port and makes the camera 100% video. They do make a lowmode bracket that looks like a double decker, I lost one layer and it worked very well. In a pinch you can use the "Doggiecam" handle that puts a grip in line and has a couple of threaded holes for your Camera screws... I didn't care much for the SL Cine Steadimags that are a little bit on the short side. Try to get the real 235 Steadimags, which are 435 mags with a different throat adapter. But at almost $10'000.- a piece the most rental houses will go with the SL Cine's which are in the $4500.- range. The top picture is at Clairmont with the optic removed. 100% video. The lower one is at Panavision Hollywood, I left the optics on to off set the bad balance of the SL mag.

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 24, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey all you superpost guys... I know you can go long, but can you go that short? 235 on Mini-Me Ultimate. A "little" running set up...

Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 24, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Why not? Come on... to much free time on my hands... But seriously, Greg Bubb made this shorty post (10 inches) for an episode of entourage. Playboy mansion, shot starts in the grotto (low ceilings) advances to the pool area with a POV from the pool (shallow end)... and ends above a table... there we go shorty... LW II with TB-6... balances perfectly... Of course I had to try it out!

Premium Members Chris Konash Posted November 23, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, I have a scheduled production with an Arri 235, I was wondering which power connector is on the camera? I have cables for an SR3 and didn't know if it's the same. If not I'll try to order a cable or two before production starts the second week of Dec. Apparently production requested steadi mags for the 235 and they (CSC NY) said they didn't have any? I thought by now it was a common item to find, no? Thanks, Christopher Konash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted November 23, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 It use the same cable as the SR3, 535, 435 and Arricam 435 Steadimags will work on it but are not vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
