Sanji Robinson Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi, I have a problem with the Arri cam. The camera is stuck on "wind" when I load a mag. Sometimes it doesn't, but the mag jams after running the film for a few seconds. I hear a scratching sound in the mag. When I load the film, I make sure to roll the take-in core several times to make sure its tight. Then I close the mag and pull out some film from the feed side to make a bigger loop. When the camera jams, I open the mag in the changing bag and the film in the take-in side is either loose or "spaghetti". What is going on? HELP!

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted March 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 13, 2016 How familiar are you with loading Arricam mags? Have you read the manual to make sure you're loading correctly? Check out http://www.arrirental.com/pdf/arricam_st_quickguide.pdf for an overview of the loading procedure, particularly the "3 clicks" bit.

I like that idea. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
