Arri 435 Low Mode Bracket

This is a low mode bracket that has all the features that we have needed.
This bracket will enable the operator to preset the camera tilt angle.
You will be able to adjust it up or down to about a 30-degree angle (see photo). There is an additional bracket (Iris rod) that mounts on the side of the body to mount a motor. The top plate will have an adjustment from side to side of 3" inches. The top plate has meshed 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 tapped holes for your sled dovetail. It also can be turned around (cantilevered for side to side) and cantilevered fore and aft.
Small in size to reduce weight, but sturdy to add support to the dovetails.

The new design folds small to save space in your case.

Kit contains: bracket, iris rod mount,allen tool, and net pouch.

(Hard anodized gray to match camera)

Gorelock 1 & 2

The Gorelock1 has been brought back by popular demand. This will work with the 1.580" and 1.500" post, or the Pro and the Master sled post sizes. The GAD1 and the GAD2 have the same features. The GAD1 has a smaller diameter fork and will only accept the 1.580" and 1.500"O.D. docking rings. If you have a Pro sled with a 1.500" post size and think you will be upgrading to a 2" post in the future, I would suggest buying the GAD2. that way you will only need to purchase a diffrent size docking ring and the fork will work. Also reintroduced for the Mag-Dock. This will intergrate into what you already are using.

The GAD2 upgrades the GAD1. This accomdates the all the post sizes.As before the same great features are still intergraded. The key features are, no aircraft pin, automatically locks the sled in place, securely holds the sled from flopping from side to side when changing magazines or lenses, the docking ring can be positioned right under the top stage, the post never touches the fork when docking, the Gorelock2 has a built in 2 degree angle, the sled can be rotated in the fork for adjustments, red release levers are on both sides for ambidextrous operation, two handed control on the sled when mounting and dismounting. The new features are; now accepts the largest to smallest post size, starting with the Alien Revolution size of 2.125", 2.00", 1.860", 1.790", 1.685", 1.580", and the 1.500" The O.D. of all the rings are the same size.Also the the docking rings have been change to a larger clamping screw.

When Ordering!

There are seven different post sizes out there. Too many sizes to list here (above) and there may be more that I do not know about. When ordering, I have to know your post size and the location of where the docking ring is going to be placed. This will enable me to fill your needs and cut down on the confusion.
When ordering with the Hill Docking Bracket, I need to know what gimbal you are using to provide the proper balance stud size. (Example: 3-A and Pro are 5/8" dia. and Master is 19mm dia.) Below are a few examples of the part numbers and pricing. If you do not see your size of post please call and inquire. The DR2 will not interchange with the old Gorelock, for obvious reasons.

Hill Docking Bracket^TM

The Hill Docking bracket that is user friendly.

Here you go Pro owners! Spin balance on the docking bracket. No more setting up the dolly or extinction arms. And 3A owners, no more turning the docking bracket around to balance the sled. Spin or static balance can be achieved of any sled with this new design. No more banging of the arm and the tools getting in the way when turning the docking bracket around as before, not to mention holding the rig and trying to do this at the same time. This docking bracket solves allot of the headaches.
To balance the sled simply undock from the Gorelock and pull the balancing post towards you and position the gimbal on the stud and spin or static balance. When done remove from stud and slide balancing post to the rear and dock the sled. The balancing post can be used to hang the vest when not in the balance mode.
The red knob is for setting the tension or drag on the balancing post. There are two C-stand receivers to choose from. The forward position will be used 90% of the time. The second position are those few times when you need more clearance between the stand and the sled, like low mode. (The balance post extends 12" inches from the stand and 15" inches when in the second C-stand receiver.) The arm stinger can be positioned from side to side by pushing up and over.(Spring loaded) The tool holder can be placed on either side of the docking bracket or can be removed all together, as you prefer. The extra holes can be used as a focus unit holder. (Not supplied with docking bracket) I will leave that up to you guys.
Also rock steady, no slop in movement of adjusting parts. Body is hard anodized black, balancing post is in hard anodize gray and the brake knob is red.Arm stinger and studs are 303 stainless steel. This is available in Pro / 3A / EFP & Master / Elite stud sizes.

#HDBP - Hill Docking bracket for Pro/3A (No Gorelock).............$500.00
#HDBM -Hill Docking bracket for Master/Elite (No Gorelock)......$500.00

Mag-dock

Magliner docking support. This mounts to the 5/8" light stud that is on Magliner carts.
Pictured right is the GAD2 (Gorelock Auto Dock 2" Post) with stud receiver. The dock has a clearance of 5" from the cart so your sled will not hit. This has the same great features as the GAD2. Instead of using an old docking bracket this streamlines your cart and allows more space on the top shelf to work.
This is a stripped down version of the docking bracket. There are no balance studs, no arm hanger, and no adjustments, just docking. Now Available in the old style GAD1 (1.580" and 1.500" posts)

Great for moving to the next position. In the field, I move the sled and camera to the Mag-dock, (with the camera still attached) and push everything together. Your arms are around the sled pushing on the handles. I steady the sled when crossing cables, curbs, stairs, and rough surface.
Also can be used as a second dock stand for those long shots where you need a rest at the end of your shot.

Part #Mag-dock-1 .........Old Style.........(In Stock) ............ $525.00

Part #Mag-dock-2 .........New Style....... (In Stock) ............ $525.00

* Does not come with a docking ring. Sold as pictured above, top right.

PAM^TM "Preston Adjustable Motor Mount"

P.A.M. - Lighter, Better, Stronger, Easier, More Options, Cost Less.
The PAM mount allows owners of Preston motors to simplify operation.
The new PAM Mount takes advantage of the design of the motor and uses it to the operators benefit. As there is a hole that goes all the way through the motor (the mounting rod), a rosette is secured in the place of the rod. This allows the motor to be used on either side without going through the difficulty of changing the bracket setup. The PAM mount keeps the motor at a right angle to the lens at all times. PAM is positive locking, every 10 degrees to the lens over 360 degrees. The mount is also adjustable horizontally relative to the lens by 5" inches. Attaches to any standard iris rods. PAM is very quick and easy to use. The motor mount can stay built even when not in use. And best of all, the PAM Mount weighs just 3.4 ounces. (This is less than Preston's current swing arm.)
All PAM Mounts are hard anodized black.

The kits listed below include the Rosette,D-clamp and your choice of arm size.

For Scorpio motors order the kits below.

PAM Offset

The PAM Offset allows the motor to be offset by one or two inches depending on which way you position the motor. This replaces the arm clamp with a new clamp that has a one-inch standoff between the motor and the support arm. This allows you to get the motor into the Iris gear and around corners. This PAM Offset combined with the width of the motor will give you two inches offset.Takes seconds to install and requires no tools.

Panavision Modular Motor Mount

This bracket inserts into the modular follow focus dovetail plate that is located directly under the lens.

I turned this into one part that will work with stock Preston and my rosette's.

This mount has the 15mm clamp to interface with Preston rod or you can use one of
my SR-rods and mount the Pam15mm arms to get the motor out to the focus ring.

Movicam Compact/SL Iris stud

Iris Pull? This spud takes seconds to put on a Moviecam body. There is a small dovetail on the face of the camera, next to the lens. This simply slides onto that dovetail and a finger knob secures it. This can be used as a primary focus motor spud or a quick addition in the case of an Iris pull. Will work with both Compact and SL Bodies.
The stud is (15mm) 2 �" long and is Anodized Gray.

Hill Handle
While shooting in low mode the live yoke is upside down and there is no place to hold the arm. The Hill Handle is a round tube that slips onto the arm post. It clamps around the arm post and is adjustable up and down and to any angle. This does not mar the post and takes a second to use. Makes low mode feel more comfortable to operate. (5/8" arm post only)

Dog bone 15mm to 19mm

This end will clamp onto a 19mm iris rod (new Arri) or can be used with my inserts to reduce down to the 5/8" ( Panavision ) or the 15mm (old Arri) iris rods. The Dog bone has a two-inch center-to-center spacing.

This is handy for getting the motor into those awkward places.
