Fliegende rote Kameras auf EFP-Stabilisatoren mit Gewichtsmanagementstrategien
17 Jahre alt. Geräte und Preise können sich seitdem geändert haben.
Was die Diskussion ergab
- RED-Kameras können erfolgreich auf EFP-Rigs montiert werden, wenn das Zubehörgewicht sorgfältig kontrolliert wird, was typischerweise zu Nutzlasten zwischen 25 und 31 Pfund führt.
- Der Arm selbst kann mindestens 25-30 Pfund unterstützen, aber der begrenzende Faktor ist oft der Weste Mittelholm und Gimbal, der Stress oder Versagen im Bereich von 25-30 Pfund erfahren kann.
- Battery placement options exist either on-camera or at the sled base using v-mount to AB adaptor plates, with sled-based battery power capable of running the camera plus monitor, transmitter, drive, and focus control for approximately 40 minutes.
- RED camera accessories such as rods, cradles, matte boxes, monitors, and drives add significant weight that must be minimized through lightweight options like clip-on components and CF cards.
- Extended aluminum EFP posts used without a second stage gimbal support can dent under pressure and create susceptibility to vibration, requiring tighter gimbal tensioning.
- A Decimator converter is recommended for better monitor and transmitter options compared to the RED camera's built-in monitor.
- Preparation time before shoots and weight distribution testing are essential due to potential gimbal slippage and rig imbalance issues.
- The original EFP arm capacity was rated at 38 pounds total or 26 pounds on the sled, with capacity potentially increasing when lighter sled components like modern batteries replace older NiCad systems.
Hängt ab von
- Discussions reference older equipment standards including NiCad batteries and specific gimbal models that may not reflect current hardware.
- Weight capacity claims vary between participants and appear dependent on specific gimbal models and individual rig configurations.
- Some claims about powering RED systems from the sled are presented without comprehensive testing data across different battery types.
- The thread does not provide definitive guidance on whether lighter modern components have changed the practical payload limits originally established for the EFP.
