HI All,

I'm thinking of selling my Preston system but would like some advice from the market place on it's value.

 

It is a MDR2 HU2 G3 System with Digital Micro Force, 3 x DM1 Motors a Preston Focus / Iris Handset G3 and also a Preston Wireless Microforce Zoom Control Also G3,

 

Still has the original Iris Hardwire control and cable as well

 

2 x custom made, 1 x long and 1 x short Zoom Y Cables for panhandle use as well as 2 x Panhandle brackets,

1 O Connor Style and one Panavision multi adjustable style

 

It has 32 Focus Discs a whole array of cables for focus etc as well as many various bracket options and MDR Mounting solutions,

Also a Back Pack system for the MDR that powers from any Anton Bauer Gold Mount Battery along with a 10'

2 x Motor and Command Cable Loom

 

The Handset has the Sony Battery Conversion and there are 5 small Sony 2 Medium and 2 x Large Sony Batterys as well as 2 x Sony Double smart Chargers and an assortment of aftermarket chargers as well

 

All in a large Pelican style Case.

 

As you can see it is quite a substantial kit and has served me well for many years.

Please email me on jem.58@icloud.com if you can help

 

Thanks Jem

Someone offered a similar kit for US $13000 a year ago on the Steadicam forum:

And another a little earlier for the same price:

That forum probably has more Preston owners and sellers than this one.
