Was die Diskussion ergab

• Das M-1 Preston Gear Adapter Kit ermöglicht einschnappbare M-1-Getriebe mit Preston DM-1 oder DM-2-Motoren und umfasst sechs verschiedene Getriebegrößen von 0,4 m bis zu 0,8 m.
• Larger diameter gears provide more convenient motor placement and better clearance between mirror housing and accessories on cameras like the Arriflex 535B.
• Using the regular output gear on the Preston motor paired with a regular gear on the M-1 adapter produces better results than combining extra wide gears on both motor and adapter.
• Large gears can create clearance problems with the Hill PAM bracket in some configurations and may cause the gear to rub against Rosetta adapters.
• A DM-2 motor with extra wide 0.8 pitch M-1 gear failed to turn a 65mm Zeiss lens in at least one instance, though the cause could not be definitively confirmed.
• Very large gears significantly increase the torque demand on motors, potentially causing performance issues or motor failure.

Hängt ab von

• The single motor failure with the DM-2 was not reproduced or investigated in detail, so the cause remains unclear.
• Experience was limited to a 535B camera with specific bracket configurations, which may not represent all use cases.
• The observation about old large gears relates to different historical motors, not the Preston system being discussed.
