This is amazingly interesting. Keep up the good work!

Pilot o phone with support Support: "Have you tried turning it on and off again?"

These days I only see them in the air, running errands between bases. As a kid we'd see occasional stealth fighters practicing maneuvers below the tree line in the creek beds. We could actually wave to the pilots. That was so cool. We had a Blackhawk crash in the area too. Fortunately large trees and deep snow broke their fall, and the local fire and rescue was made of loggers and ski patrol. Everyone was okay.

Loved this! Please keep them coming. Especially love to see some scanner updates

I don't think that the Pertinax claw is supposed to hit the buckle switch with every rotation that it makes (as shown from 4:15). While I don't know what it is, something has to be wrong here.

Great video!

“Hey Atc do we have permission to land?” “This is a backyard,sir.”

Man this is fascinating! Subscribed!

This Part 3 came up as the first for me and I can only say you did a terrific job. I like your general insights and fine mechanical engineering skills. I haven't looked but I hope you found the help of someone aiding in getting the motor speeds right, maybe by controlling them with an Arduino or the like. The mechanical adjustments like rollers etc. will be in place by now I guess. Anyway, great project!

It is very interesting how much he loved to use his camera.

Arri was and still is a movie creation tool!

How hard to convert one of this to accept Vmount Gold mount batteries?

this is dedication, I’m fascinated

Always happy to see your posts!

I've assisted with the Arri 35BL, shot footage with their Arri 16BL and Arri IIb and IIc and even shot to odd printer test on an ancient Arri 35 step contact printer. In each one you can feel the pride of the engineers - they were all beautifully made and engineered to last. Nevertheless, it's worth recalling that the original Panavision Panaflex was released about 1972 and was silent without need of the lens blimp the 35BL and 35BL II required. While this worked, it was a nuisance for the camera assistant, slowing down prime lens changes. Zoom lenses like the Angenieux 25-250 had to have their lens blimp permanently fitted. We should also remember that while Arri introduced the revolutionary spinning mirror reflex viewfinder French manufacturers like Debrie, Eclair and Aaton virtually refined the engineering concept of the film movie camera, with coaxial magazines that reduced the size of the camera (Debrie Parvo) , fast magazine changes and shoulder shooting (Eclair CM3, NPR, ACL, Aaton 7). I believe Arnold and Richter (ARRI) were founded in 1917, with 108 years of building motion picture cameras, film processing machines, printers and lighting. In my book they are a fine example of why German precision engineering is so highly regarded around the world.

Incredible rotary gear use in Nissan rotary engine cars😊

always wonderful to see a new video by you

I´ve shot once a short with an ARRI 35BII. I wondered why the Viewfinder has some vertical kind of dividers that distract the viewing. Do you know what I mean?

That super 16 looks fantastic.

I missed my chance to buy an Arriflex 35mm camera a while back. Now they're too expensive again.

Always wanted to own one of these! If you get it with a PL-mount, what do you think? In today's world, is this the Bolex of 35mm cameras? Thanks for the video and for including more information about the blimp, too -- which as you know, is incredibly challenging to find information about.

I still keep 6 vintage Arriflex 16 and 35 mm cameras, two of them brand-new.

Thank you for your well researched clip! I own a 16ST and I think the mechanism is quite similar. I had to wait 40 years to get it - mind you, I was 9 years old when I fell in love with it... and I love Kubrick!

Thank you very much for this very interesting video! There are not many pieces of equipment that are designed so well from the start that they are still used for their intended purpose more than 90 years later. Truly impressive!

Love it when you upload!

why are they flying the German Flag on their house ?

would it be possible to do this but in reverse? ie scanning my digital footage to 35mm film?

Hey there. I recently purchased one of these but there is limited info on the ones equipped with the crystal sync motor (Georg Jensen 505). Mine didn't come with a battery and am trying to find a solution but am unsure about amperage. Do you have any info regarding this? Thank you

This event will be talked about in this family for generations. It will be the stuff of legend. " My grandfather once told me that when his grandfather was a boy, an Apache helicopter once landed in his backyard"😅

Ah, eventually you might want to get into Arduino or into Pi Pico's Micropython (these are two easiest to learn things i can think of) to control the motors. Synchronising steppers digitally via step counts is bound to be better than any mechanical system one might come up with, plus you can integrate sensors etc. Stepper motors don't have any inherent speed drift, the drift is coming from your control logic which doesn't keep consistent time. For one potentiometers are bad inputs since their readings do drift from moment to moment, and it's also not really potentiometer's fault but the ADC and supply voltage drift. But more importantly the timebase comes from a crystal oscillator, and these do drift a fair bit, so unless you have extensive calibrated temperature compensation for them, that's going to be the main problem with the digital controllers. Running steps for multiple motors from the same board which has one timebase would solve that problem. Oh also how to generate an arbitrary constant ratio of steps: Bresenham's Line Algorithm (which is a division algorithm in disguise). Don't try to do step calculations with floats, this will likely end in a lot of hair pulling. If this is something you might want to embark upon, maybe i can be of a little guidance.

It had me kind fascinated until the end. Not bad on a low budget, but shaking the camera an actors bouncing side to side was a bit juvenile. The crystal star piece looks like they got it from the now defunct 99 Cent Store. Mysterious, “you figure out what it means” story telling is very college student filmmaker. 😏

I love a well-written and directed, low-budget Indie sci-fi movie. I just can't - no matter how hard I try - suspend my disbelief enough to forget that Titan's gravity is only 14% that of Earth's. They would be half-floating with every step. When his bag fell down to him, in the first scene, it would have slowly descended and touched the floor gently. Aside from this, I like the story. I saw it years ago, somewhere, and the same thought occurred to me about gravity. Ah, well... Still, great plot, and well done, director.

1:13 just like when bird fall from the sky, another bird from the same group circle above unable to help...we didn`t move much further from animals

so where is footage of actual descent? and why is pollice car there?

That's fucking cool!

That apache circling above was definitely there for 'cleanup operations' should anything go wrong with recovery.

Did they offer projectors with larger reels than 7"?

I love that German flag!!!

I have an extensive collection of vintage Arriflex 16 mm and 35 mm cameras, including brandnew 16 ST and 16 BL.

Wonder why there's 1.4k dislikes? What made these people upset?

Pretty cool, thank you all for your service!

Wow, dad mom an attraction come to our yard

Reminds me of an old joke "did you know my dad killed 28 men in the war?" "I thought he repaired helicopters" "he did. Just not very well"

uhhhhhh, ok.......

About the coolest thig that could ever happen inyour backyard!

Must be a Russian chopper pilot!! Has no idea where he is lol

ES MUY MUY MUY BUENA.

We have an Indiana National Guard base right off I 74 as you leave Indianapolis and head for Cincinatti. The unit flies helicopters. A couple of the pilots live just north of Indy. In the spring, when their children's school has their annual field day, they will fly a bird up for show and tell.

Very informative. Thank you.

I gave up half way through. The lack of dialogue was killing me
