Arri 2b

Recommended Posts

Hi all -

 

I just purchased an Arri 2b and was wondering if anyone might have any advice on where to find accessories for it? I am in Los Angeles but am happy to mail order. I am looking for a battery specifically. Also looking for a manual. PDF or paper, doesn't matter to me. Any suggestions?

 

thanks to anyone who can lead me in the right direction!

I advise all of my clients to run down to either the power tool shop and buy a DeWalt 18V battery and charger or just pick up a 12V and a 6V sealed lead acid pair. The latter will cost some $30 from Radio Shack, 3, 4, 5 amp hour capacity is fine.

 

18V will spin an Arri very well, it will not overheat a governed motor and it will give the full range of speeds up to 50 fps on a wild motor. You can use 12V on either motor but not with the versatility of 18V.

 

Regards
