  1. Probably yes! However I find it extremely difficult to get someone even to machine this hole on the side for me (which doesn't have to be THAT precise (comparing to gate corners)). Everyone owning a CNC apparently is busy doing a big orders and does not want to bother with one-time piece. What other guy told me, it is hard to get perfectly sharp inside corners using CNC, as it rotates. He told me that different machine has to be used for the inside corners.
  2. @Dom Jaeger Thank you for your reply! Yes, that is a fact! Apparently it's a SR2 S16 gate. I don't know what would be the difference between sr2 s16 gate and sr3 gate - in stability? I just got a reply from Georg Bogner who says: "...your Kamera converted to Super 16 by a technician were put the register pin on an other place like 16SR-3. Now you have two posibilities. mill out filmgate on the right place or you remove register pin." So I think I will look for someone who will precisely machine it for me.
  3. Hello! I own an Arri SR2 HS Super16, but my gate was apparently modified and has round corners which neither me, nor my directors like, as the image has to be significantly cropped to get corners out of the view. After asking a question on "Arriflex Anonymous" FB group If SR3 gate fits SR2 I got several responses confirming it from people who changed theirs. So I managed to find a SR3 Gate for a reasonably good price but when I gave the camera and the gate to my technician he told me that it doesn't fit. The difference is in small hole for the screw that he said is for adjusting the height of the gate. See the picture attached: Do you maybe know what could be the reason for such a difference? Is my camera somehow modified or built differently for some reason? Thank you for you help! Adrian
  4. Hello! I am trying to get 12V out of my Arri SR2 HS from 11 pin Fischer connector at the back for the accessory, but when I measured the voltage it appears to be only 2,5V :(. For the pinout I found a scan from Jon Fauer "Arriflex SR book" scanned and uploaded in the other topic on this forum. (Original topic with the scheme here:) What is even stranger, the voltage slightly changes, and can even go to zero when I turn the potentiometer knob on a "GLOW" that is on the side of my camera - also pictures attached: Do you have any ideas what could be causing the problem? When I unplug the two wires that power the GLOW, camera will not run. I will appreciate any ideas! Thank you! Adrian
  5. Aapo! This is looking great! Cant wait to be able to order new motor for my ACL. ALSO it reminds me the beginning od COVID when I had a lot of free time and decided to resurrect one of my dead Eclair NPR Perfectone motors just for fun and learning process. (Electronics were dead, motor itself was ok.) I was new to electronics, but after a lot of reading and coding I was able to do this: - 24/25/30/40 fps. With current real speed displayed during operation - Meters & Seconds of recorded footage counter - REC / STBY Indicator - Start / Stop Beeper like Alexa / Venice - Mirror Parking - Voltage indicator - It is powered from a V-lock battery (D-Tap) Unfortunately it's not crystal controled like yours, just simply stabilized. I also left this project like a year ago and got back to filming once covid somehow pulled back. (Big props for doing it Crystal as it must have been super time consuming!). Cant wait to get one of these! BTW: Regarding "Remaining Footage in the magazine" feature - Is it going to be programmable whether one use a 60m or 120m magazine? I was thinking maybe doing a simpler "Exposed footage" could be easier and more intuitive? (One could use both mags and sometime we use some respools / leftovers) Keep doing a great work Aapo!
  6. Hello Louis, I made a power adaptor for my Eclair ACL - used a FXlion V-lock plate and a power regulator. Works great. I guess FXlion option is worth looking at because it's really cheap, sized like bebob (for a fraction of a price) and they have a compatible v lock batteries - super light and small as well. 50/100 wh https://www.cinegearpro.co.uk/products/fxlion-nanop1-nano-v-lock-battery-plate-with-d-tap-output Let me know when you finish your project, I am really curious. ?
