Premium Member Uli Meyer Posted November 4, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted November 4, 2021 I shot a 100ft roll of film last week when the camera was working fine. Now when I switch it on, the camera won't run and the motor only stutters slowly forward (see video). I've got a brand-new 8.4 Volt power supply from Hawk_Woods, so that can't be the problem. It happens with the like-new 24fps motor as well as with the variable speed motor. So it shouldn't be a problem with the motors either. I reset the buckle switch and the override, still, no luck. Has anyone come across this before? Any advice? Thank you in advance. IMG_1833.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Martin @ OH Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Uli, I had a similar issue with my Arri 16 S over the summer. The problem was a notch that had warn into a plastic switch fork that is contacted by the internal plunger. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hooked the camera up with a 12Volt battery instead of 8Volt and it is now running fine and at speed. The new motor must be a 12 Volt version which I wasn't aware of.
