JacobZuberi Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Hey everyone, If anyone is interested, or knows anyone who is interested, I am selling an Arriflex 16BL package for a fifth of what I paid for it. I've used it for a few projects, even a feature, and it works beautifully. What you get: Arriflex 16BL body Carl Zeiss 8mm Prime Carl Zeiss 10-100mm Zoom Mattebox Two 400' magazines Changing Bag Tobin Crystal Sync Motor B&W Video Tap Glidecam 5 inch Monitor w/ Monitor Arm Two Batteries 17 3x3 Glass Filters Heavy Duty Travel Trunk It's in great working order, and I'd hate to see it just sitting around my house not getting used. Let me know if anyone is interested! Thanks! Jacob Zuberi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, -Tim PS: Don't take offense, it's just that we're seeing a real increase in SPAMBOT's this month, and all them have just registered in the last 24 hours and the listings look very similar to yours.

Ed Sieb Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 How about posting some pictures and a price. Best, -Tim Pics and a price would be nice, especially the price range, as it would give us Arri fans an idea whether it will fit our budget.

Premium Member Tim O'Connor Posted December 11, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2009 You're selling it for a fifth of what you paid for it? It looks nice but you paid $25K for it? Or if you sell it for $3K, you paid $15K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZuberi Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 I bought the camera a while ago when they were still fashionable, and with filters, video tap, lenses, etc... yeah, it comes out to almost 25K over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoji San Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 If I can just give my opinion I think it's a beauty and $5,000 isn't too crazy Once again IMO And $3,000 seems like a great deal Maybe you should mention where you are located Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the "Tobin Crystal Sync Motor" you listed, and is there no blimp for the 8mm lens? -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZuberi Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) There is a blimp for the 8mm, I just didn't picture it (though I can throw one up if you want). The motor is just behind the pistol grip, the part with the four screw holes. A crystal controller plugs into that. I can throw more pictures up of whatever you need to see. Just let me know! And I'm in Colorado (Denver area) but I'll ship it anywhere for free if need be. Edited December 11, 2009 by JacobZuberi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm in Colorado (Denver area) but I'll ship it anywhere for free if need be. I'd like to see a picture of the prime lens blimp. I'm aware of where the motor is on an Arriflex 16BL, I'm pointing out that it is not a Tobin crystal motor or crystal motor control on the camera in your pictures. Are you saying you have a separate controller made by Clive Tobin, like maybe a milliframe controller? There is another listing for this camera package, with the same description, and it says you are located in Ohio? http://www.studentfilmmakers.com/bb/showthread.php?t=5908 Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZuberi Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Here's the blimp... And I guess it is just a frame controller... I guess I was confused (and sorry if I sounded like a know-it-all prick about the motor, I was told when I bought it that was a crystal motor, so I believed them) So here's the controller... That is my posting -- I just haven't updated it since I moved out here. Never crossed my mind to, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted December 11, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted December 11, 2009 Okay, that makes sense. What you have there is an Arriflex 16BLEQ, it's the one that came from the factory with the crystal sync motor. And the Tobin unit you have is a speed control that only controls the camera speed for when you want to film video monitors. When was the camera last serviced and by whom? And do you have any pictures of the matte box? Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobZuberi Posted December 11, 2009 Author Share Posted December 11, 2009 Okay, right on. I'm not sure who serviced it last... The previous owner had it serviced just before I got it. Somewhere in LA I believe, but I'm not positive. Its only been used a few times so I never saw the need. The mattebox is your good old fashioned accordion-style mattebox.
