Jeff, Your digressions are better than my on the topics.
I'm in the Web content division where I work - I write up product
descriptions, and the occasional article. Any opinions I express here
are of course my own, and not my employers.
Separated from wife, needed a stable job and stable schedule. Have to
work anything else in around that. I did some shooting on a doc and a
short film, so I can make the schedule work between full time job and
Kids, but it is a stretch.
Please let me know next time you come to NY, I'd love to actually meet
you one day.
Oh yeah, once in Africa I forgot the Headphones were still attached to
the Nagra, man those machines were tough. Glad that I'm not the only one
whose done that sort of thing.
The director and cameraman never stopped talking the whole shoot, and
that was when I decided camera was a better position than sound.
Best

Didn’t know you were at B&H. What department?
The Arri grip was plastic, and had a 3/8-16 thread, and an activator
rod that pushed a switch in the base of the Arri 8. Which was pretty
silly, since the 16S held better using the built in thumb-grip and
viewfinder tube (with prime lenses).
These grips held well, fit the hand nicely, and were used by
Pennebaker in his early rigs. Of course they had the problem of being
plastic. Penny famously (after unknowingly ingesting some wine laced
with acid at the Monterey Pop festival) put his camera on a table and
walked away, forgetting the camera was tied to his battery belt. The
camera smashed on the floor, and the grip broke off. Penny shot
Hendrix using the short stub of a handgrip that remained. My first
Auricon with CP motor had a version cast from that grip out of aluminum.
But as usual I digress.

Oh, and back on topic - If I recall, and it has been a while, there
is something special about the bottom of the Arri S, something about
a handle or support that would send a rod up into the bottom of the
camera, starting it when you pressed the trigger. I think it was
through the 3/8"-16 threaded mounting hole (got to be a better term
for it). Perhaps I misremember and it was the IIC.
