PLEASE HELP - Bridgeplate problem


Adam Nikolaidis

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

 

We're in the Everglades getting ready to shoot some footage for a documentary tomorrow, and we can't seem to get the lens/bridgeplate/camera assembly aligned. Normally I would have had all of the equipment ahead of time, but due to budget circumstances (funding was delayed for several weeks longer than expected) the equipment wasn't available until the last second. After several different attempts at assembling, we tried putting everything together without the camera in place. It appears that the camera should actually be mounted about one inch higher than the bridgeplate. The lens is a Cooke 25-250mm MkII T3.9 and the camera is an A-minima (yes, it does look like an RV attached to a Volkswagon). We have an Arri bridgeplate (it says it's an arri 35mm bridgeplate) and bridge support, and a panavision 6.6x6.6 mattebox.

 

Any thoughts?

 

We're desperate! If you know what's going on andd you don't mind, please call us at 954-649-7448.

 

We will be eternally grateful for any help or suggestions, or workarounds if there is some problem with the equipment.

 

Thanks,

Adam Nikolaidis
