Artemis post detent failure: replacing worn nylon-tip screws on the fine-trim collar
Note (as of October 2026)Curt O. Schaller, the developer of Artemis and Trinity, has no longer been with ARRI since the end of 2025. To our knowledge, ARRI currently has no dedicated team and no official contact persons for its stabilizer systems. In our view, the future of this line is uncertain. If you are buying new, get written confirmation from ARRI beforehand on how long service and spare parts are guaranteed. Have used rigs checked by the manufacturer before you buy.
What the thread found
- Three nylon-tip screws sit under the dust cap of the fine-trim collar on the Artemis® post; sheared nylon tips cause loss of detent function.
- Replacement screws must be ordered from the manufacturer (approximately 10–20 EUR per unit) and spare screws should be carried in the kit, as hardware-store alternatives do not work.
- The root cause is typically a loose post clamp that allows play in the internal post during hard whip pans, causing the nylon tips to shear.
Depends on
- Depends on whether the clamp was properly tightened during setup.
