This actually sounds great! what voltage do you plan for the motor to work on? The Tobin ones were 12V but I find that problematic when using the 400ft mags that run on 8V.

I put a dehumidifier and I left my camera in a tripod outside the case. So RH around my camera is now 36-40%. I also pointed the viewfinder for around 10 minutes to the sun. I hope is gonna be fine for now. Thanks!

I just found that there is fungus at least in the first element of the optics of the viewfinder in my Arriflex 16ST. There doesn’t seem to be any fungus in the prism of the body itself. Im worried it may spread to the lenses. Is this a serious issue? There doesn’t seem to be any noticeable effect on the viewing as the image is sharp and fairly bright.

I´m looking to buy an Arriflex 16S Compendium to hold 2x2 filters. I´m based in Spain.

I checked with my phone and the the 650w light, and it seems only to flicker noticeably at 120fps onwards.

Wouldn’t tungsten fixtures below 2000w flicker a bit? Or is it only noticeable at high speeds?

Interesting, I always thought it was 180°

Hello, I will be shooting in Europe under 50hz with Arriflex 16S with the original wild variable motor. Im worried that by shooting at 24fps 180° I will get flicker with 650w tungsten lights. I don’t know if I should shoot at 25fps, or the motor is so inaccurate it wouldn’t make a difference?

I’ve seen on my Arriflex 16S that when pointing a lens mount open with a torch, light will leak through the turret inside walls. Is light leaking from inside one lens mount to others like is shown in the photos normal? Ofc I will not shoot with the lens mount open like in the photo. But im worried if for example I have two lenses, that the lens im not filming with, sitting in the turret, without lens cap, will leak light into the film.

So everything works perfectly then and footage is stable?

Im really interested. Have you shot with it?

Im looking to buy an Arriflex periscope for my Arri 16s viewfinder so it’s easier to use with the 400ft mag.
