    So you think 13,2V will eventually harm the camera? Mine is from 1980 though and others here said the ACL II can take up to 15,4V !?
  2. lars preisser
    thanks for that info, will try that.

    also looking into c to pl adapters.... found this pretty cheap one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Arri-PL-lens-to-C-mount-camera-adapter-/252925685539

    hi I just noticed that on the viewfinder of the eclair (kinoptik paris) there are 2 broken screws so the viewfinder is a bit rickety and therefore also noisy. Does anyone have an idea on how to get the rest of a tiny screw out of its thread... the problem is it does not stick out at all. lars

    that looks really good, also 50% off! I already got the belt now which seems to work fine up to 75fps on the eclair II... but this might be good as an additional onboard solution and it works for the pocket so thats a bonus too. just wondering if the rod adapter is detachable so the box could go on the side of the eclair magazine. lars

    hi, great so this 13,2V 8Ah belt will be fine?
  7. lars preisser
    ah cool but the charger is too much for me. can I run the eclair acl II on 13,2V and 8Ah or is that too high? I just found a batterybelt online, that looks nice with xlr and charger...

    ...chargers seem to be hard to find/ expensive.
  9. lars preisser
    yes I saw them but on the picture pav has the yellow cap over the terminals so it looks like the cable goes into the other side.
  10. lars preisser
    so there is an opening in the battery on that side? -- do you have a close up of the construction by any chance?
  11. lars preisser
    sounds good, what kind of cable did you make/use and how/where did you attach it?
  12. lars preisser
    I saw that before but thats a pretty expensive battery unless you own them anyways and where did you attach the cable and how do you charge it and do you get framerates above 25 with that?
  13. lars preisser
    yes its quite a nice effect, but I wish it could be turned off and on easily- on the bolex it does not seem to be the pressure plate.
  14. lars preisser
    hi i also have a ghosting effect, but its more that lights become really long - vertically (see the traffic lights in the still) I wonder if thats also a claw/shutter sync issue on my bolex h16?!
  15. lars preisser
    so you would just velcro that pvc wrapped pack on your camera and somehow connect an xlr cable?

    Good to know thx, I though if I have like 10 of them it will ad up to the amount I need. Regarding the NiCd´s; the cinematographer I bought my camera from told me NiCd would be better. Don´t know why.. but one thing I read was that with NiCd it does not matter when you dont use them for a long time, there is no danger of loosing capacity or anything. There is still lots of them around and they are still used in Hospitals and elsewhere probably due to that reliablity hm difficult decision, the "tracer" option seems easy but may be a bit expensive. Building it from scratch will be risky though, having no real experience and all that... if I`d go with the "tracer" can anyone recommend a specific model of battery from them?
  17. lars preisser
    hi, which model exactly do you use? Is 3,5Ah enough for higher framerates? I've heard 4-6Ah would be ideal? Can there be too much? Lars

    Hi everyone, I am also interested in building/ buying a good battery solution for the Eclair ACL II and it is quite urgent since I want to film end of march. I have never built a battery so it would be great to get some advice. Attached is an image of some parts I would think could work but as I said I have no clue. Ideally I want it to be onboard (with velcro) and easily swappable just in case they do not last very long or charging takes ages. Will 10x AA 1,2V batteries each 600mAh do? I am just planning to hook that to a spiralcable and a female xlr 4pin microphone plug... just wondering if that would work at all and how long would it power the camera? and what about recharging? Or does anyone have a list of good parts that are available on ebay/ online? thanks
