The Cinematography Electronics Crystal Motor base is also included with the package. The CE crystal motor base for the Arriflex IIC was the best motor ever made for the camera, but unfortunately you can no longer buy them new (they sold for around $7000). I am the second owner of this base and have the service records. It runs like a top and the rubber motor coupling is in great shape.

 

 

$5000 or best reasonable offer for the whole camera package.

This package also includes a rather rare Arri 2C barney, for quieting the camera down.

So you will be getting a PL mount (converted by Denz in Germany), a brand new ARRI factory 1.85 ground glass, and the ARRI factory high speed gate, which combined with the CE crystal sync motor allows crystal controlled high speed shooting with this camera.

Hi Tim,

 

Looks like a great package at a bargain rate.

 

What frame rates is the camera capable of with the hi-speed gate and CE motor? Also, how much power is required for hi-speed vs. 24fps? I notice the CE motor has two 4 pin XLR inputs - do you need two 12v belt/block batteries for hi-speed?

 

Thanks!

This camera, with this Cinematography Electronics Crystal Motor Base, is capable of 1 fps up to 80 fps, in one fps increments. And all the speeds are crystal sync, so no drift at high speed.

 

With one 12 volt battery, you can run up to just under 40 fps, and with two 12 volt batteries, you can run up to 80 fps.

 

Here is what the Cinematography Electronics web site says about the motor:

 

 

2C Crystal Motor Base

The crystal speed range of the 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE is 1 through 80 frames per second (fps) in 1 fps increments. The crystal speeds are selected with two push-button digit switches that are protected by a sliding door. Crystal speeds of 33.333 fps and 16.666 fps are also provided for flickerfree filming with 50 Hz HMI lights. The motor base runs forward or reverse at all speeds; the direction of filming is determined by the FWD/REV switch located on the right side. An out-of-sync beeper with adjustable volume chirps when the camera is not running at the selected speed.

In addition to driving the camera at 1 fps continuously, the 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE makes your camera an excellent choice for single frame time-lapse photography. To activate this single frame feature, connect a Cinematography Electronics Intervalometer or Single Frame Push-Button Cable into one of the accessory connectors on the motor base. In this mode, the exposure time for each film frame is 1/3 of a second.

 

Located on the camera assistant's side of the motor base are a digital LED tachometer and footage/meter counter. The tachometer displays the running speed of the camera or the selected (preview) speed when the camera is off. The footage/meter counter, with reset and a four-hour memory backup, displays the total film count. The 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE is powered by one or two 12 volt DC batteries, and has two battery indicator LEDs that show the voltage condition of each battery. A resettable circuit breaker protects the entire motor base.

 

The 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE stops the camera with the mirror shutter in the viewing position. In addition, the motor base has two camera run switches; a toggle switch on the assistant's side of the camera for tripod work, and a momentary push-button on the rear surface of the base for hand held filming.

 

The 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE attaches to the bottom of the camera with two captive lockdown screws. A rubber coupling mates the motor base with the star-shaped drive gear on the camera. This coupling reduces noise and helps isolate the camera from motor vibration. Our comfortable configuration of the motor base under the camera makes hand held filming easy. The 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE includes a built-in follow focus bracket for attaching Arri-type hand held lightweight support rods and matte boxes.

 

For filming with studio tripod setups, the 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE provides mounting holes for attachment to standard balance plates and support rods (15 mm or 19 mm). This places the lens at the proper height for matte boxes and lens accessories.

 

For interfacing with other devices, the 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE provides two Fischer 11 pin accessory connectors on the right side. The motor base is compatible with the Cinematography Electronics Precision Speed Control 2, Syncromark Laser System, Intervalometer, Remote Tach & Counter, and more.

 

Chosen by camera rental companies and custom camera manufacturers for its rugged design features, ease of use, and wide range of crystal speeds, the 2C CRYSTAL MOTOR BASE is the professional choice for your Arri 2C type camera.

The barney is no longer available, so it is no longer included in the package.

The Cooke Speed Panchros are gone, so I can no longer combine them with this camera package.

 

I am open to all reasonable offers on this camera package. Let me know if you're interested.
