Varricam 3700 camera setup and operational considerations for steadicam work

ما توصّل إليه النقاش

  • The Varricam 3700 has a reverse scan function that allows the sled to be flipped upside down as an alternative to traditional low-mode mounting.
  • The camera includes an internal downconverter, eliminating the need for external downconversion equipment.
  • Power consumption is approximately 38 watts for the camera body alone, making it compatible with standard steadicam power solutions like dionic or clipper batteries.
  • The camera body weighs 10.8 pounds, with the lens and viewfinder adding approximately 6.2 pounds for a total of 17 pounds.
  • Power connection uses a 4-pin XLR connector at the back of the body.
  • The camera can record 1080p video at 4:2:2 using the AVC-I codec directly to onboard P2 cards, eliminating the need for cable infrastructure when used with wireless transmission.
  • When using wireless transmission instead of cabled output, the setup becomes more portable and operational flexibility increases.
  • The camera may remain powered even when the sled power is switched off, requiring manual power shutdown at the camera itself.
  • Modified sled setups can draw camera power simultaneously from all three sled batteries for improved performance with HD cameras.
  • The combination of the camera body with a 6-24mm zoom lens and digi-prime lenses proved to be significantly lighter than comparable film camera rigs.

  • The experience and observations are based on the Varricam 3000 and 3700, which share identical or nearly identical specifications.
  • Low-mode mounting stability when using a bracket on the handle was not definitively confirmed and requires testing in actual production conditions.
  • The specific performance of the internal downconverter with the mentioned monitor and sled configuration is based on limited testing.
  • Power delivery modifications were custom-made to the specific operator's sled and may not be standard across all setups.
