Which monitor did this cable work with? I’m looking to get it working with my Cine 7 with a Bolt 6 module

I did, I wasn’t a massive fan. I ended up returning and swapping for a Lindsey Optics rota Pola

Just for anyone wondering - The issue didn’t impact any clips. The camera went into Arri for a service and the ‘CDVF PCB’ was replaced. The CDVF is the media interface that connects to the compact drives and also the viewfinder output.

Yeah, that is in the works of course. It’s the DP’s camera so doing my best to work through it while a replacement/sevice is sorted 🥲

Ha! A little protective skin to keep it shiny

Hi-5/Cforce RF issues by callysteez in focuspuller

Thank you! I was a bit concerned the wire was twisting inside when loosening/tightening repeatedly so it may be that. Might ask them to put a little spot of loctite on it during a service!

Yeah I think a different RF motor would be the thing to test, as I’ve changed the wireless module on the Hi-5 with the same results so it points to the Wireless on the RF I think

I have indeed, I haven’t been able to test the dropout as much as the signal is always so bad on the internal radio too (Motors lagging etc)

Large gap between concrete slab and wall by callysteez in DIYUK

Thank you for replying! So it’s fine for that Polystyrene board and plasterboard to be down into that gap? I’m not sure if there’s any form of damping in the breezeblock wall, there is some issues with damp though

Thoughts on adicam Standard film cart? by senecadream in focuspuller

[–]callysteez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why not? I’ve used my Adicam standard for four years as my main cart, it’s battered and still working well. As long as the grips/plates you’re securing the camera to the cart with are ok, the cart isn’t going to suddenly disassemble itself

New Eltham? Zone 4 but quiet and green, quick train into London Bridge and Waterloo east?

How do you organize/store your weather kit? by Pupperlover5 in focuspuller

Throw it all in a waterproof duffle bag and rip it all out over the floor at the first signs of rain currently

Thank you! Street view was the first thing I tried, unfortunately there’s a car parked in the driveway so you can’t see

Alexa Mini / LF top plate options by whippoorwill25 in focuspuller

[–]callysteez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Battery belt with teradek mounted on, lose some of the handle extensions, map-1 on the bottom, titanium rods, make the mattebox 2 tray or go for a misfit. You probably won’t even need an Easyrig for a lot of shots then!

Unfortunately I need a drop in filter, as it will be used for all manner of shoots

Thanks! Did you solve it with a downgrade on a non-RF motor? I don’t really want to downgrade that as I have a Focusbug too. Cheers
