Robin Phillips Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi all, random and possibly silly question - does anyone know if its possible to convert a moviecam SL to 2 perf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Klockenkemper Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think that it *should* be, if it's similar enough to the designs of other later Moviecams and the Arricams. Finding an available 2-perf movement could be a challenge. It'd probably be best to consult with an expert, such as Andree Martin of AM Camera: https://www.amcamera.com/contact/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted June 5, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) That movement is very expensive to convert, the cost would be several thousand dollars for the movement alone. I was quoted $5k for the job on a moviecam years ago and that was back the parts existed. Andree Martin is the only person who could do it these days, but the savings you make by shooting 2 perf isn't really made up by the exorbitant amount of money put into the movement. Now a 3 perf conversion, that's doable and Andree may have the parts still. Edited June 5, 2020 by Tyler Purcell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
