Frederik Floor Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi, folks! I'm a student in film-making, and I haven't come across this page until now. What a great resource! Anyway. I'm concidering buying an Arri 16S, however, the one I'm looking at does not include a motor. I don't need a great Tobin motor or anything, but I'm just wondering if there are any motors for sale. Preferably under $300, but I'd like to hear about anything for sale! Cheers! Frederik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederik Floor Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I just got my camera yesterday, and I'm loving it! One question though. There were two motors with it, but I'm unsure of what power these run at. Can anyone see what voltage these motors require? I'm thinking about buying a battery, either 8 or 12 volts, depending on the motors, and fixing the end so it fits the camera. Is there anything I need to think about when doing this? Constant speed (24fps), crystal? Variable speed (0-40fps I think) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The variable speed motor can run on an 8 volt battery or 12 volt battery, though the thinking is that a 12 volt battery will eventually shorten the life of the motor, as it was designed to run on 8 volts.
