Where to buy Arri SR3 sound blimp / barney

[Henry Gill]

Hi All,

I'm looking to buy a sound blimp/barney for my Arriflex SR3 HS, as it's remarkably louder than my older SR2 - to the point it's unusable for quiet dialogue scenes.

Could anyone recommend a place to buy blimps, or perhaps someone who would make a custom soundproof cover for the camera?

Many thanks for any leads.

Best,

Henry

Did you get your SR3 serviced? There might be something wrong with it since it should not run louder than the SR2.

Hi Uli,

All the SR3 HS cameras I've used have been this loud. It's likely louder for being a HighSpeed camera.

Many thanks,

Ah, okay, I didn't know that the HS version is that much louder. I had an SR3 Advanced once and it was very quiet. Good luck with finding a blimp/barney.

I am also looking to acquire/purchase a blimp/barney for my Arri SR3 HS.

If anyone can help?

I was a bit surprised how loud it is at 24FPS.

many thanks

I would start with eBay or Visual Products. There are still a fair bit of ex-Clairmont Camera film camera accessories out there. I bought mag barneys for my Moviecam SL on eBay a few years ago, all ex-Clairmont stock.

Pille Film in Germany have lots of SR spare parts for sale: http://www.used-filmequipment.com/products/list/id/130

Maybe worth inquiring if they know of a barney.
