Premium Members Lars Erik Posted March 5, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I've had this done at Hofmann of Sweden. (www.hofmann.se) As you can see, the monitor bracket is now moveable, which it isn't with the original Archer. I'm very, very pleased with the result. And the rig behaves flawless. The dovetail on the bottom is to attach Antlers and extra weight for flying heavy cameras. LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Warner Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Eric Nice job on the upgrade. WOW !!!! I've been trying a few split collars on the lower 35mm section and using "off the shelf" brakets to get the Monitor up off the stock Archer base. I've had mixed results so far. You went all out and replaced the base section all together. I'd love to hear more about how the new sled is with some of the larger Film / HD cameras. Also if Hofmann is thinking about making this for other Archer owners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lars Erik Posted March 5, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Hello Kurt, how are things? I noticed on your webiste you really got something going. Great! I like your mule vehicle! Nice. The upgrade I did after speaking to Chris Fawcett a lot. (Thanks Chris! And thanks to Michael Hofmann and Per at Hofmann Teknik) It's all custom built, except the monitor mount. This is Transvideo barcket intended for the Master series. But with a little bit of drilling, it suits perfect for the new Archer. I'll PM you some words how it behaves. And yes, Hofmann are taking orders for Archer owners who want to upgrade. I know Colin Donahue is interested. LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members chris fawcett Posted March 7, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 This is a really well-considered mod. I'm happy to give it my unqualified recommendation. All praise to Lars-Erik Kristiansen for taking the initiative, and to Michael Hofmann and his team for pulling it off at a great price. http://www.hofmann.se/produkter/steadicam/...rcher/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So praise needs to go out to you too. But the rig has become excellent. And thanks for all the PM's from everyone and all who's commented on the new rig.

Premium Members Ed Moore Posted March 9, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 That looks fantastic - what's the actual price though? Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Lars Erik Posted March 10, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 That looks fantastic - what's the actual price though? Ed This is a quote I got from Michael Hofmann at Hofmann Teknik in Sweden, 1) EUR 2850/USD 4.310 (IKEA-price*) for the AT-AT base including an additional passive battery mount of your choice and bottom dovetail. 2) EUR 560/USD 850 for the monitor mount adapted for the AT-AT base including a yoke for the 700 nits 7? monitor. 3) EUR 710/USD 1080 for 12/24V version if modified at the same time as mounting the AT-AT base at Hofmann in Sweden including 3 hour assembling time to make the AT-AT modification (1). * Do the modification yourself. Easy to do if you know how to handle a screwdriver and uncomplicated soldering. Instruction included. For any questions regarding the upgrade, please contact Michael at; mof@hofmann.se LE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
