Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a 3-perf 35mm system. I don't really care if its MOS or sync sound. I also don't mind any older systems like a 35-iii or BL3/BL4 (if they even come in 3 perf?). I just want to see what's out there!

Best,

Thomas Blanks

Hey everyone,

I'm selling my standard PAL IVS for the SR3. I've got everything you need for it besides the prism. Everything works flawlessly on it.

Asking $650 OBO

Sent you a PM!

Bump. Still looking if anyone has any leads at all!

Hey y'all, looking for a beam splitter for the classic SR3 IVS system. If anyone has one let me know!

Hi guys. Don’t want to get in the middle of yous, but wondering if you think I can find a good LTR package without tap for $5-6,000?

If you’re patient enough and look enough you might be able to find one. I saw one in November for around this price. Just check local groups on Facebook, eBay, the likes. You never know when one might pop up! 

Good luck on your search! Hate to say it, but the package you’re looking for is probably going for double your budget. Not to say you can’t find a great deal because you never know what someone’s gettin rid of, but the market has definitely gone up recently. 

There’s an SR2 up on eBay that’s being bid on right now! It looks like it has a tap on it. To be honest though, it’s gonna be hard to find any of those cameras in good condition in that price range, especially with an HD tap already installed. 

Might be worth it to give the people over at Visual Products a shout. Last time I talked to them looking for a Super 16 they had some priced in that range with their HD video taps. Don't know if they came with any zooms though!

Hey everyone, I’m looking for the video optic elbow and beam splitter for an SR3 if anyone has one? Let me know! 

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here had one of those old VR30 videotaps for an Aaton LTR? If so, could you maybe post or PM me some pictures of it? Thanks!

Hey Rick, what kind of Aaron packages are you looking for? I have a Super 16 converted Aaton LTR with two mags, batteries, and a gold mount adapter I might be looking to sell. 

Hey everyone, looking to switch from my Eclair NPR to something more production friendly like a Super 16 Aaton or SR2. I’m just looking at the moment, but will be ready to buy once I sell my NPR. 

Hey Rick what is the price? Thanks!

Hey Alan, super interested! I didn’t see, but is it Super 16 or regular 16?

That’s exactly what this looks like.

one side screws on to the camera, and the other side is for mounting a video camera to shoot the viewfinder.  You might also need a lens for the video camera, but I can’t be sure from the photos.

ive never seen this particular video tap adapter though. Video taps were not common on the NPR in its day.

Yeah, it looks completely different than any of the other video-taps I've been able to find online for any camera really. I wonder if I can find a small camera that could fit into the opening at the top, or if it's even worth it to try? Seems like it could be something cool maybe.

Hey everyone, I recently purchased an Eclair NPR off of eBay and I've got some questions about it.

1. I'm trying to find a battery solution for it. I've read through other posts and I see that there are a lot of different routes I could go. So far I've been looking at this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1048193-REG/bescor_fp_12vatm_12v_lithium_ion_battery.html as well as this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/126161-REG/Cool_Lux_BC3054_BC_3054_Battery_Belt_LCE.html. I would love to hear everyones thoughts on these!
2. My second question is about a piece of gear that came with the camera. It was in a pouch labeled "Video Tap" and when I opened it up the only thing in there was this weird viewfinder. I attached some pictures of it. There's no markings or writing on it that tell me what it is or what company it is. If anyone knows please let me know!
