Premium Members christophe soffietti Posted May 13, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hi you all, As some of you know, I just bought the Nat Massey's rig, and job after job, I'm learning this pack. I've just did a video shot, and I realized I miss some gears. Does anyone can tell me how many lens drive gears we should have to 'sleep well' ? I've been seeing the Jerry's website, but I still don't know wich one I have to order !! Thanks guys for helping.

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted May 13, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Chris: Don't know what lenses you are using, but the typical set is 32, 48 and 64 pitch for cine style lenses (32 being standard) and .5 and .6m for video. Fujinons use a .4 for iris but I think this may be the same as the 64 pitch lens (anyone confirm this)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 13, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Hey Charles. Yes the 0.4 is the 64 and the 0.8 is the 32. A complete modern gear set would be: Wide 0.8m/32P, regular 0.8m/32P, 0.6m, 48P, 0.5m, 0.4m/64P. Additional gears that you might never use are the Iris gears for the Zeiss T2.1 and the Zeiss T1.3, They are rare and expensive, so neglectible.

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted May 14, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Chris, Not sure why you started another thread on this same topic? It will likely get pruned out so I'll respond here. It would be helpful it you told us which motors you are using, as you were asking where to get additional gears.

Premium Members christophe soffietti Posted May 15, 2008 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Charles, yes you're right, I made a mistake unfortunatly creating a new topic. Here is bellow my previous anwser, and I gona try to close the new one. I use to work with 3 anological preston motors, and I'll post some pics of the gears I already have. "Hi you all, I first want to thank you all one more time, for your quick answers. I already have some gears because of Nathaniel, I first have to identify each one (may be to count tooth by tooth !) and look for those I'm still missing. I'll do this and post a picture this afternoon (gmt). Where do buy some, Jerry's ?" Thanks, Chris, from Marseilles, south of France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Erwin Landau Posted May 15, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 As the Scorpio motors are knock off of the Preston ones... check this one out: http://www.steadicamforum.com/forums/index...?showtopic=7944 They should fit...

Premium Members Claus Stuhlweissenburg Posted May 17, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 What would the pitch be of a .50m gear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
