Re: [Frameworks] Tobin intervelometer power supply?
Nick, Ryder, Scott, Jean-Louis, and Robbie, Thank you all for your suggestions and advice. I wish I knew enough about this world to make a lightweight battery myself, but maybe down the road. Meanwhile, I'll follow your leads about where to buy something. Best wishes, CC On Sat, Apr 7, 2012 at 4:08 PM, Ryder White ryder.wh...@gmail.com wrote: Like everyone else is saying, any new 12v battery should do the trick. The pinout on those XLRs is Pin #1: (-), Pin #4: (+). The two other pins were used in some systems for sync pulses and so on but are generally not used anymore I think. I've made a couple of those connectors (and I'm a terrible solderer) so it should be easy enough to do yourself.

Hi Everyone, Our school has one Tobin Time Lapse Motor for a Bolex H-16. The only power source we have is a big heavy battery belt (which we normally use to power our Arri cameras). Is there a different/better/lighter power source that would work with the 4-pin xlr connector? Thank you for any help or advice.

Re: [Frameworks] Tobin intervelometer power supply?
Try Duall camera. They have the smaller packs for this motor. Although, I like the heavier belt you mention. I use it as a weight for the tripodcamera when using TTL out in field..over night etc. Sent from my iPod On Apr 6, 2012, at 2:15 PM, Caryn Cline carynycl...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone, Our school has one Tobin Time Lapse Motor for a Bolex H-16.

Re: [Frameworks] Tobin intervelometer power supply?
You name it, it'll run off any 12V battery or off a 12V wall-wart. You can just graft an XLR onto a generic 12V lead-acid from the hardware store and leave it there. --scott ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
