Saul Rodgar Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Unless your camera has the electronics and video camera inside, and you are looking for a professional set-up, to my knowledge this is not something that can be just bought off the internet and user-installed. Generally speaking, the LTR body must be shipped off to a shop where a tech will open it up. Then a tiny video camera must be positioned very close to the beam splitter and all the electronics housed usually outside of the body. Power usually is taken from the internal camera power supply / socket. This process takes time, experience and pains to achieve. There used to be a number of shops around the country that would do this, but it is certainly not cheap. Last time I checked, AZ Spectrum in NYC had a good price on that service.

Chris Burke Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 visual products, who are a site sponsor, link on the right, also offer this. They may be the cheapest option and offer the lowest profile tap around. If you need a no nonsense, basic tap, that doesn't take up a lot of room, check them out.

Mitch Gross Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Abel Cine Tech has a videotap for the LTR54 available for rent. It is a replacement for the viewfinder and handle assembly that includes an incorporated videotap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume it also works for the LTR7? Does the camera need to be sent to you to install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Gross Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I couldn't find it on your website, how much does it cost to rent? Thanks. It rents for $200/day. It will work on any XTR or LTR camera (except for perhaps the first 20 built). The unit attaches with just four screws so it should be no problem to send out. That's what I used to do when I was a client of Abel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
