Marcel Zyskind Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hi there. From having operated Steadicam myself some years ago, I would not myself undertake this task. But is it possible to get an Arri 765 on a steadicam? That is the 65mm camera... If not, which I can understand, are there any other 65mm cameras anyone can recommend? I've heard of Panavision HSHR, but since I live in Europe Panavision cameras are not readily available in my local camera store. Thanks in advance.

Premium Members Jerry Holway Posted April 1, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I operated a bunch with a Todd AO 65mm camera (MOS/ noisy) about 10 years ago... had to take my video assist camera and add a 10 or 12mm C mount lens to it and tape it to the viewfinder... but it worked and it's not the heaviest thing out there.

Premium Members WillArnot Posted April 1, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi Marcel, On the Ron Howard movie "Far & Away" I know Greg Lundsgaard flew a 65mm camera a lot. If you or anyone else here can get you in touch with Greg, I'm sure he could give you a lot of information. Best, Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members RobVanGelder Posted April 1, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I remember a picture of Floris Sybesma (R.I.P.) "flying" a Vistavision, on a 3A arm/Pro1 combo... But not for my knees... for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a stripped down version of the System 65 camera that was used for A camera. Rusty Geller also operated with that camera. He can be reached at: gellers@bigpond.net.au This was before I operated Steadicam. I got to operate the Arri 765. It was really fun to scan that big frame in the eyepiece.

Premium Members Jeff Muhlstock SOC Posted April 2, 2007 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Several years ago, I flew an "IWORKS" camera for an IMAX film. 65mm, MOS, and well balanced for Steadicam (vertical mag). I think it weighed in at around 50 lbs. My old, pumped up, 3A arm did the job. No idea where the camera came from but I would imagine it is still out there.

It's Iwerks Ub Iwerks @ Wikipedia Who invented this for example : Circle-Vision 360° Patent @ Google Patents K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
