Preston system for sale with motor

August 29, 2010

Hello All,

Fantastic condition Preston system for sale. It works perfectly as a Preston always does and comes with a New/Unused Heden Digital motor. The Heden motors are strong, quiet and they are smaller and lighter than Preston motors. I use them exclusively with my CMotion Lens Control system and love them. The version 1 microwave Prestons are quite often better than version 2 when it comes to transmission and interference, range etc. I have experienced this many times where an MDR2 system had hits and range failures before my MDR1 system did. Version 1 Microwave system includes:

*Preston Handset.

*Microwave Transmitter Module Version 1.

*MDR 1 with Microwave Receiver unit.

*(3) Preston Batteries.

*Preston Battery Charger.

*(12) Focus Rings.

*(2) spare antennaes. One for Handset. One for Receiver.

*New/Unused Heden Digital Motor M26VE with sliding rod clamp assembly.

*Complete set of gears for Heden motor.

*Step down bushings for motor rod clamp (15mm, 5/8 panavision rods).

I have some awesome extras that come with including:

*New/Unused Element Technica V-Mount Bracket for Preston MDR.

*New/Unused 15mm Bar Bracket for MDR.

*New/Unused Microforce Zoom bracket for handset (No microforce included. Just the bracket).

*New/Unused Jerry Hill PAM Bracket Complete for Heden Motor (Great Bracket).

Cables that are included:

*MDR Power for Arri cameras.

*MDR Power for Panavision cameras.

*MDR Power for Genesis.

*MDR Power for Anton Bauer P-Tap.

*Your Choice of MDR power to Steadicam Rig: PRO, Tiffen Ultra/Ultra2 etc, MK-V.

*Camera Run Cable for Arri cameras.

*Camera Run cable for Panavision cameras.

*Motor Cable for Heden Digital Motor.

*Cable for Microforce Digital zoom to Handset.

Pelican Case for all is included.

$9500 worth of perfect condition (some of it new/unused) gear.

Selling for $8500.

This is not even a complete list. There are more cables and brackets and bits but I can't recall exactly which ones and how many. Some cables have more than one of them also. I will have the complete list and photos when I get to set on monday for those who are serious and email me. Don't message me through the forum as I don't always check it often. I bought this system to use as a backup to my Cmotion but I love the Cmotion so much that I don't need this one now so all the new bits and pieces I purchased for it go with as well. As anyone who has purchased gear from me can tell you, I don't sell junk and I take extremely great care of all my gear. This package is worth every penny. Email me if interested to the email below. Thanks.
