XTR Plus Jitter issue


Hunter Zimny

Recommended Posts

Hey folks,
I come seeking advice and opinions.
 

I've had a random jitter shake that happens sometimes from an Aaton XTR plus. It's not detrimental and can usually be stabilized in post, however I'd love to fix it. Sometimes it will happen in the middle of a shot, sometimes it will happen throughout a take but it's totally unpredictable. Half of the time it doesn't happen at all. The jitter is always vertical and varies in severity.

We thought it was a mag issue but on the last project it happened on a rented mag which I've shot a feature worth of fresh stock on without issue. I think it's a problem with the pull down claw.
 
The camera and mags have been serviced twice by Girvan at Abel cine. Both times it was fully disassembled and cleaned including the claw which was adjusted but the issue persists.
 
Here's a video sample :
 
 
Have any of you experienced anything like this? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you!
