Not that I know what I’m going to do with all of these Fries cameras, but I will find homes for them eventually. I will show more detail about each item as I make them available for sale. ln.run/0MTxt #CinemaGear #friesengineering #cameras #worrall #mitchellcamera

This year’s budget for equipment purchases has already been spent, but I got an offer that I just couldn’t turn down. Mostly, I wanted the two geared heads, one Worrall and one Mitchell, ... ln.run/0MTxt #CinemaGear #friesengineering #cameras #worrall #mitchellcamera

That is all the work I have time to do on it for right now, so in the meantime, it is sitting in the showroom, waiting its turn. ln.run/gUTgD #CinemaGear #pathe #35mm #cameras

I know I said last week that this new Pathe camera was going to be a future project, but before I could safely put it away, I needed to mitigate as much of the corrosion of the brass parts as possible to prevent any further decay. ln.run/gUTgD #CinemaGear #pathe #35mm #cameras

It has a lot of corrosion and crusty parts, and it’s going to take an enormous amount of work to get back in shooting condition, but that will be a project for the future. #CinemaGear #arri #16mm #arriS #cameras #arriflex #pathe ln.run/XkpGZ

My apologies for the delay, I know that I promised that the ARRI S cables would be back in stock a couple of weeks ago, but I had some unexpected difficulties, mostly in sourcing materials. #CinemaGear #arri #16mm #arriS #cameras #arriflex #pathe ln.run/XkpGZ

I also thought, if this is a problem I have, other people might also have the same problem. Originally I was only planning to make these for myself, but I wondered if I should print up some extras and offer them for sale? Let me know. ln.run/acMyC #CinemaGear #arri #arriflex #arri2c #arri35

As I was going through my inventory of Arriflex 400’ magazines, I noticed that quite a few of them suffer from a missing or severely damaged “title block” (as the ARRI parts breakdown identifies it), you know, that silver piece in the middle of the magazine door. ln.run/acMyC #CinemaGear #arri

I will also need to make it a pan handle at some point. I will show you more of this interesting gyro head as I continue to work on it. ln.run/oMk3F #CinemaGear #akeley #gyrotripod #tripod

A couple of weeks ago, I got a phone call from a client who said he had a vintage wooden tripod. He was nice enough to come visit with the tripod, and at first glance I was not sure exactly what it was. I decided to buy it anyway and try to figure out what it was. ln.run/oMk3F #CinemaGear #akeley
