David Fitch Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 When comparing the SR3, XTR, and LTR, which of these 16mm cameras is the quietest when running at 24 FPS? I think all of these cameras are generally regarded as running quietly, but I'm just curious if one model tends to run quieter than the others. Thanks!

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted February 22, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think a lot will depend on how well serviced they've been-- especially in terms of the SR3 v XTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Will Montgomery Posted February 25, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted February 25, 2014 It's all in the tuning. Each mag will be different too. I've had to put my ear onto an SR3 mag once to verify it was running it was so quiet. All of those cameras will be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted February 27, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Yea, its all about the mag. Worst part is, if you get a rental camera, its hard to test the mags until loaded and running film through them. I've had mags which at the beginning of the roll made almost no sound and towards the end were squeaking under changed loads. I've worked with such poorly maintained equipment, it amazes me I ever captured anything! HA! But yea, Arri vs Aaton? I'm an Arri guy... SRIII for the win! :) Edited February 27, 2014 by Tyler Purcell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
