Cross compatibility between Moviecam Compact and SL magazines?

[sines]

Currently eyeing some Compact 400’ mags and realized, if I buy them, will they fit on my SL MK I?

so um… Will they? ?

Side note, I somehow ended up with a Superamerica 1000’ mag (instead the 2 400’ Steadicam Mags I thought I had) that won’t mount on my Moviecam SL. Anyone want to trade? ?

Ya know I've worked on a few of both and I honestly think the mags are entirely different. The SL mags are more similar (not the same) as the arricam mags. The Super America, Compact, Compact II mags are all similar. The SL is kinda where the arricam's started. The SLMKII of course being (outside the viewfinder and housing) nearly identical to the Arricam LT.

Both the mounting interface and the electrical connections are different, but there are mag throat adapters to mount compact mags onto an SL camera (see last image).

I have that throat adapter here. So I could buy the mags without worry and use this adapter as well.

 

thanks David & Tyler ?
