Ben Cross Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi all - I just purchased an Arri 2b and was wondering if anyone might have any advice on where to find accessories for it? I am in Los Angeles but am happy to mail order. I am looking for a battery specifically. Also looking for a manual. PDF or paper, doesn't matter to me. Any suggestions? thanks to anyone who can lead me in the right direction! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted December 13, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted December 13, 2009 Batteries are fairly easy to make from cells you can buy on line, and you'll save a bunch of money. You can make your own charger, too. What kind of motors do you have for it? -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Diego Obledo Posted December 15, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted December 15, 2009 I have the 2b 24fps constant speed and the variable speed motor. I also need to a battery build option. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce McNaughton Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I advise all of my clients to run down to either the power tool shop and buy a DeWalt 18V battery and charger or just pick up a 12V and a 6V sealed lead acid pair. The latter will cost some $30 from Radio Shack, 3, 4, 5 amp hour capacity is fine. 18V will spin an Arri very well, it will not overheat a governed motor and it will give the full range of speeds up to 50 fps on a wild motor. You can use 12V on either motor but not with the versatility of 18V. Regards Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member John Sprung Posted January 8, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted January 8, 2010 Any reason for preferring DeWalt over Bosch, Milwaukee, Makita, etc? I know Ryobi is low quality, but the rest are pretty good. It's a shame they all have their own proprietary interfaces. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce McNaughton Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm sure that all power tool batteries will do the job equally well. Maybe I like the bright yellow 'hard to misplace' colour of the DeWalts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
