Premium Members Jamie Hammond Posted August 1, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 :ph34r: I'm piecing my kit together slowly, as you do, but still need a remote focus/iris control unit. The Bartech I know is a great product and good value for money. Unfortunatley my budget is stretched further than Mr Armstrong himself. Is anyone looking to off load a unit such as the Bartech or like. transmitter/reciever and motor package would be ideal. Mainly shooting on Digi Beta/HD and 16mm at the moment. Also looking at video transmitters, seen teletests package and black box's here in the UK. But the modulus looks great .Can u use this in the UK and if so anyone got one of those going like the budgie as well? Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RobVanGelder Posted August 2, 2004 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Jami, About the video transmitters: they are all usable but only a few are actually approved in every country. The Modulus is a very good transmitter but almost everywhere illegal, as it allows you to make your own TV-station, and can be received on normal tv-sets. That´s exactly what we want but also exactly what governments are afraid of. But, I have never met someone who was busted with such a transmitter, so the risk seems low. Sadly, those transmitters that are allowed nowadays are in the 2,4 Ghz range with all the wireless computer data, observation cams, portable house-phones and video-links to the bed-room so you can expect lot´s of interference there. Oh, also follow-focus systems like Preston, Scorpio and Arri are there too making it unusable for video-transmission. At the moment there are transmitters available on 1,2-1,3 GHz, also illegal in most states but free from interference.

IanMcMillan Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Jami, I have a Seitz focus system available. It comes with 3 channels, 2 Heden motors, 2 amps, Hand control, spare antenae and brackets. All in a pelican case. I'll work out a price and post for you. I don't think it would be more than $4k Australian. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
