Thanks for the reply.

"The input to the L7 Pro Monitor is marked: 12VDC 1.0A"

...but it is still getting it's power directly from the Anton Bauer mount, right? I understand it is drawing 1.0A from the 10A output which is the maximum it can drawdirectly from the output.

Did your cable come with Glidecam when you purchased it?

BTW, here is a link to the cover of the book I'm doing for the Glidecam modifications.

...and here's another:

Charles K,

Sorry for the slow reply. The cable for the monitor-to-Anton Bauer did come with the Glidecam.

The cover to your book looks great. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Well Brad the book is already up for sale. Thanks for the info.

Andrew, better get on those modified pics! Take my word for it, it will remove a great burden from your shoulders, like taking the V-16 off after a two-hour shoot :-) -->>>

I finally come back to DVi, to find some crazy people hounding me for modified pics? What modified pics? I checked the whole thread, nowhere did I say I had a modified rig/pics. I'm confuzzled!

I am however; interested in modifying the bottom sled because I dislike the rectangular profile.

Andrew, how are those modified pics coming along? -->>>

Andrew,
You are right about me, I probably am crazy! I think Charles K. thought you had some modified pics. When I finally got around to sending him some stuff he had been asking me for, I tagged you on there. Sorry about that. I guess I was totally confoundulated on that one!

Now that Charles K's book is out, we can both do some modifications and THEN send him some pictures!

Charles

Another book!!! And a third one on the way!!! Boy you are busy. What time do you have for flying your rig? I just finished reading your first book and boy your rig looks awesome.

Anyways I'm heading over to Cafe Press to order your second book which is closer to my heart as I own the Glidecam V16 and am ready to do some serious modding.

Charles King · July 23rd, 2004, 01:15 AM

Well Norman, that's the thing. I usually don't have time but no worries because I refurbishing my arm and sled. The new parts arer't ready yet. Hopefully by the end of august.

The third book will be a pic gallery show-casing the new look of the sled and arm. As a matter of fact you do get the second book then you will see how the new sled will look.

BTW, thanks for the compliments on the book. Glad you enjoyed it and hoped it offered you with the info you needed.
