Thanks, Gregg. I'll investigate. I need the dovetail to be at the correct height, as the anamorphic lens needs to slide back and mate with the second lens (spherical) that is fitted to the camera. I have a modular contraption that sort of works, but it is clumsy and not always locked in place. I'll attach a photo.

Thanks for manufacturing this. These camera are a really affordable entry into 35mm. I am happy to see your custom built accessories and motors! I myself have been looking for a dovetail plate to hold my Anamorphic lenses with the Oct18 mount.

Have fun. Make art! I agree with Clark. Wild sync with a Bolex.

Shipping camera across US border for CLA, tips?
Roy Cross replied to Roy Cross's topic in General Discussion
So, a carnet is not the way to go. The camera would have to return in exactly the same condition it was sent out. Thus, a repair alters the condition. Going to FedEx tomorrow for info, -

I have a request in about an ATA Carnet. I'll update when I hear back. -
Shipping camera across US border for CLA, tips?
Roy Cross replied to Roy Cross's topic in General Discussion
Thanks, Patrick. This is really helpful. I've ordered a power cable from Cinema Engineering. I'm waiting to see how well that custom cable works. If I'm not satisfied I was going to have DuAll add the XLR 4 pin power mod. I'll have to check, but I sent four lenses to Jacek for rehousing in 2021. I don't recall how I sent those. I'll be shipping in the next two weeks I think. I'll update you. -
Shipping camera across US border for CLA, tips?
Roy Cross replied to Roy Cross's topic in General Discussion
Thanks, Tyler. I was concerned that I'd be charge import fees and taxes as though I purchased the camera. FedEx explained everything to me. I can do it through them. I state that it has "no commercial value" and is being sent for repairs. DuAll will have to do the same on the return. I'll have to pay Canadian GST/HST taxes on the value of the work done, but I won't be stuck paying for a "purchase value" on the camera. -
Hi, I'm located in Montreal, Canada. I have an Arri St that I want to send to Du All for CLA. I had issues when I sent anamorphic lenses to Bernie at Super16. I had to pay taxes on the value of the lenses. Border customs seemed to think I had bought the lenses in the US. That was ten years ago. I'd like to avoid any issue. Any tips? Is there a carnet I need? Thanks. Roy

ALCS konvas 15epss stabilized speed controller
Roy Cross replied to Aapo Lettinen's topic in Russian Gear
Amazing work! Thank you so much for designing and building motors for the Konvas 1m and 2M. -
Thank you for the photos, Dom! Do you know of a tech in North America who can lubricate an Arri S? Roy in Montreal, Canada

Kamran! Amazing! So excited by this development. I was considering having my Arri S modified with the XLR power input as the original power cable is so wonky and unreliable. Working with Friedemann must have been fun. He's an inventive and intelligent guy! Now I just have to sell something to come up with the USD! Congratulations! Roy
