Want to Buy: Crystal Sync Motor for Arriflex 16ST

[Alex Landherr]

I am looking for a crystal sync motor for my Arriflex 16ST 16mm camera.

Motors of interest:

• Tobin TCS TXM-17
• Tobin TCS TXM-22 aka. TXM-22A
• "Georg Jensen Model 504" as seen in this Filmboy24 YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb5j2QczfZQ&pp=ygUKI3NyaXZhYXJyaQ%3D%3D
• A motor made by ARRI named "ARRI A 16 St E" as seen in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpdsCr5zZwA
• If none of the above can be found; a custom built crystal sync motor as mentioned by this user: https://cinematography.com/index.php?/forums/topic/75086-tobin-motors-for-arri-16s-shoulder-brace/#findComment-596198

If the motor also comes with a power cable and working battery pack + charger I regard that as a bonus but not necessary for my interest.

And before anyone asks; yes I am aware of the Pluriboom crystal sync motor but it does not meet my requirement of being able to use the camera's own start/stop switch: https://pluriboom.com/

Shipping:

In regards to shipping any potential buyer must be able to send it to me in Sweden.

 

If you have a motor that is any of the above mentioned models please reply directly to this post or DM me with details.

Additonal motor suggested by another user to add to "Motors of interest" list.

Is there a reason for why you are not interested in the original ARRI A 16 St E?

What do you mean by "not interested in"? Also what does "ARRI A 16 St E" mean here?

[Fabian Schreyer]

You made a list of "Motors of interest" but did not list this excellent Crystal Sync Motor that ARRI made for the 16S. So I was curious if there was a reason why you would exclude that one.

Aaah; now I understand. If I am correct it is more box-shaped than the motors I listed? Like what's seen in this video on YouTube:

Yes, that is the motor that I was talking about. It is box-shaped for sure, but it is also quite feature rich and does everything (and more) that you asked for in the other thread.

Thanks for clarifying that! What is the technical/actual product name for it? I haven't been able to find much. If you have any such info I'll add it to the OP.

"ARRI A 16 St E" is its exact product name. It also has the German writing "Quarz-Antriebs-System" on it which is just explanatory for what it does.
