Remise en service de la distribution d'énergie sur une première génération Steadicam Flyer sled pour utiliser des connecteurs modernes et plusieurs supports de batterie
Il y a 13 ans. Le matériel et les prix ont peut-être changé depuis.
Ce que le fil a révélé
- A three-pin LEMO connector provides better compatibility than a two-pin connector and enables future 12V/24V switching capability if needed.
- When connecting two battery mounts to a single power output, a diode must be installed in-line to each battery to prevent back-charging problems.
- Wire gauge of 14 AWG is suitable for running power up the center post from battery mounts to the connector.
- The gray arm indicates a first generation Flyer, which functions identically to the second generation model.
- A three-pin LEMO connector for a Steadicam Flyer is part number EGG.0B.303.CLL.
- An alternative approach is to use separate P-tap breakout boxes at different points on the sled to distribute power to multiple devices from separate battery sources.
- Modern cinema cameras rarely require 24V power, making the 24V capability of a three-pin setup optional rather than essential.
Dépend de
- The exact pinout configuration for 12V and 24V on a three-pin LEMO was not fully confirmed in the discussion.
- No detailed wiring schematic was provided for connecting two battery mounts in parallel with diode protection.
- The suitability of 14 AWG wire assumes standard power requirements and was not verified for all use cases.
- The alternative P-tap approach was described briefly but not detailed comprehensively.
