Are the speed, depth of field, and timing shift ramping features built in to the 435 extreme or are they sold separately?

Hi, I'm interested in the 435 extreme for its features and I already know that the hand crank is sold separately (if you know where I can buy that, contact me) but what I'm confused about is whether the ramping effects are separate or built in, are they or are they not? And also the stop motion, is that built in or is that apart of another system lost to time?

You can do speed ramping with the Arriflex Remote Control Unit that should come with any 435 X-treme camera package that you buy. It controls the speed and adjusts the shutter angle. There is a way to do speed ramping with an Iris Control Unit and a KC-88 cable that adjusts exposure while ramping speed.

For single frame shooting you need a capping shutter. They occasionally come up on ebay but are often pricey and I think you need a technician to install the system. Image attached.
