  1. I've encountered a new problem! Please help. I modified the wires to run on power sonic batteries. I managed to get the Uni-B motor to work when its directly hooked to the batteries. However when I try to run the voltage regulator through the batteries, it begins to smoke. I already burned out two voltage regulators. The uni-motor says it needs "24 Volts" to run at 24 FPS and the voltage regulator says "50 Volt DC max". Im using two 12 Volt 9 Amp/hr batteries. I was told Amps will give me longer battery life; not effecting how much power flows in at once. Why are these regulators burning out? If anyone has a manual on these regualtors, please post some scans. I'm all out of ideas. Thanks.
  2. Do you have a picture of the blimp you built?
  3. I got out bid on a Minolta Spotmeter F! :(

      also, I'm selling my Sekonic L-558R. It's an excellent light and spot meter, has been used for many movies. It was my backup, so it was only used once or twice, so its practically new out of box. Selling it for $300 even. Let me know Justin

      my lightmeter budget does not go that high. For what I'm doing, a non digital meter can do fine, but thanks anyways.

  4. I'm looking to sound proof my noisy bolex camera for sync recording. Does anyone know a flexible material I can tailor & wrap around the camera; reducing the noise to almost 0db? Keep in mind this camera is so loud, a shotgun mic can pick it up 20ft away facing the other direction.
  5. I just graduated with a BA in Film & Digital media and I don't want to end up shooting weddings for chump change. I have no direct connections with Hollywood's A-list. What does it take for a person in my position to get an "above the line" job? I've asked this question hundreds of times and the answers boil down to 3 things: Talent, connections and luck. Lets say I have the talent but no luck, money or connections. Does anyone have a more specific plan to become a major Hollywood player within 10 years?
  6. I bought the MCE-17b motor and BXE-17a voltage regulator for my Bolex REX-5. However, I don't know how to feed power into the voltage regulator. I have the power cord but I dont know what it plugs into. It has two prongs; one with a groove allowing a secure/release function. I've been looking for a battery or an adaptor that matches this cord. Any help would be great. Below are two links, one being the motor & regulator setup; the other being a close up of the power cord prongs. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=32410262&l=983f27a66b&id=53705417 http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=32410263&l=576511e1e6&id=53705417
