Hello,

I have an issue with ARRI SR2 when I start the camera motor seems ok and spinning but shutter is not spinning. What is the case? Is it pricey to repair?

I live in Lithuania. Maybe you know guys where I can find budget friendly service for ARRI Sr ?

Please help!

Best regards Andrius Žemaitis

Sorry Andrius, there could be many causes. It's a bit like saying my car doesn't start, will it be expensive to fix?

The main thing you could check is that your battery voltage is OK under load. That's probably the most common reason a camera won't run. The battery might seem charged but as soon as power is drawn from it the voltage plummets. Make sure your power cable is correctly wired (pin 1 ground, pin 4 +12V) and not broken or causing too much resistance.

You could also check the fuses, under the clear plastic disc on the camera base.

Otherwise unfortunately you'll need to send it to an Arri specialist to diagnose the problem and give you a repair estimate. I don't know if you have any rental houses near you that still rent film cameras, but they might give you a lead on repair facilities. I would guess you might need to send it to somewhere like Munich or London. Try asking Gecko-Cam if they can help, or contacting someone like Les Bosher in the UK.

I already contact and speak with Georg Bogner very good man he is an professional ARRI camera technician recommended by ARRI service itself. With his help I dismount the front tower of camera body and realize that the belt of the camera is damaged. So Georg will send me a new one.

Other step I will get instructions from Georg how to put on the belt. So now I will wait for a belt. Hope there is only the belt problem.

If you have some advice for me please help to resurrect this baby to life ?
