hugovillasmythe Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'm looking to buy a used arri head 2. Best if seller is within continental Mexico, Continental US or Canada because that would save me a bundle on shipping and handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest david west Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 only remotely sticking to the topic... but, does anyone know how many degrees per rev for the pan and tilt in the different gears? thinking of making my own head, but wanted the gearing to be similar... also, if you know the direction in relation to handle turning direction that would be helpful.. thanks, david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Kevin Zanit Posted November 1, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 1, 2005 "if you know the direction in relation to handle turning direction that would be helpful.." Wheel on the back - Turning right = Up Left = Down Wheel on right side - Turning Left (down) = Pan Left Turning Right (up) = Pan Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Rave Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 On my Mitchell approx. 16,5 rev. for 90 degree pan on gear 1. A little over 5 for that on gear 3. Tiltwheel 8 rev. for about 45 degrees on gear 1, 2 and two third rev. 45 deg on gear 3. Take my advice: buy a used Mitchell. Geared heads are mechanical precision wonders. But good luck anyway.

Premium Member Brian Wells Posted November 1, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted November 1, 2005 Here's one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Arriflex-Geared-Head-A...1QQcmdZViewItem I'd contact the seller and let them know you're interested if the current sale does not work out. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
