Restoration specifications for a 1992 Video SK camera rig
What the thread found
- The dovetail for the Video SK matches the medium dovetail size used on the Flyer model and includes a gear rack on the bottom.
- The Video SK attachment plate at the vest bottom is a V-lock plate design.
- Dynamic balance compensation for the Video SK is achieved through battery weight rather than mechanical adjustment, typically requiring a battery around 5 pounds such as an Anton Bauer ProPac model.
- The Flyer model dovetails may still be available from Tiffen as the Flyer was manufactured more recently.
Depends on
- Exact battery model and specifications were not definitively confirmed.
- The dovetail width of 65mm is described as non-standard for typical camera support systems.
- Availability of replacement parts from Tiffen is uncertain and would require direct inquiry.
