Thank you! This is very helpful.

I can’t seem to find any information on the Arri sr3 “Mains unit NG 12/24 R”. I’m looking for alternative ways to power the sr3 aside from the onboard battery any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thank you! Sounds like I will be using neg.

Both great ideas, i will try both. do you get your one light work print from Fotokem?

I just got my “new” lens, canon super 16 zoom from VP and I want to do some test shots with my kids for fun. I want to shoot on color reversal so I can project it at home for them but only seem to be able to find ektachrome 100D stock. I wanted to do some indoor nighttime shots with some tungsten fresnels which is why I wanted to find tungsten balanced. I want to avoid loosing 2 stops by using a filter. How bad might it look if I just shoot the 100D at night with no correction filter?

Thank you! This article is great.

Great info! Sounds to me like I can just use my existing tap with the blackmagic analog to sdi convertor and save on the Video Tap upgrade. Maybe I can use the money to upgrade to a gold mount adapter. Which I know nothing about. I think it helps power more on board accessories?

Thank you, you’ve been a great help.

Amazing, thank you. Would you mind telling me what VP stands for and if the tap I mentioned from AZ-Spectrum is a VP tap or where I could find one?

Right now I have CEI COLOR VIDEO ASSISTANT on the camera with a Analog to SDI converter and Ptap power converter. However I saw that AZ-spectrum makes this HD SDI flickerfree video assist for the SR3, and maybe that would allow me to not need the sdi converter. I just have no idea how much AZ will charge for that item. I’m calling them tomorrow.

Is there a particular on camera monitor or set up that would allow playback by means of screen recording that I could use on an Arri sr3? If not Any suggestions for an inexpensive HD on board monitor?

This is perfect thank you. Right now I have 3- mole Richardson type 407 baby solarspots fresnels. (1k watts each) i have a one set up with 1000w bulb, another with 750w bulb, and the other with 500w bulb. So I’ll explore what you have recommended!

Great points. No they don’t have to be Rgbw. I just wanted RGBW to make my kit more versatile. I don’t think I mentioned in my Original post, I am student and new to cinematography so my goal is to build a decent kit and I figured rgbw would be a good way to experiment with different colors.

Unfortunately only 2k. But I already have 3 1000w tungsten fresnels.
