View attachment 5713081



The Sony F65 ready to shoot (without lens) weights about 9 KG, including the SR-D4, Shoulder Mount, Base plate, Top hand + 15mm bars, and the Viewfinder.

Below 9 KG

View attachment 5713080



Then add Matte Box, base bars, a Follow Focus, and say a Master Prime
it shoulbe be between 13 Kg and 14 KG (I will know in say 1-2 weels)

SO, a Full Pack Sony F65 Cinealta Ready to Shoot on outsides, depending on lens used, is aprox. between 12 and max. 15 KG.

Any thoughs on weigh ? yes it's not lighter, but not as too big and heavy as many people think

Everything is relative. I'd consider a full shooting package with that camera to be between 30 and 40 lbs (remote lens controls with 2-3 motors depending on prime or zoom, transmitter, Cinetape or Light Ranger). It's not undoable but it will preclude certain methods of shooting, and heavier duty support all around. I think a lot of people shooting today have gotten accustomed to cameras weighing about half that, so it's a major adjustment.
 
Bought and received a ARRI MFF-1 (second hand)
I had also a MB-20 (second hand)
I ordered a 95W v-mount battery (almost new)
I ordered a ARRI BP-8 new (almost 1K euro) as no ones 2nd hand, as a 19mm is needed for the ARRI MB-20

I will need some proper power , I ordered a only 95W V Mount battery, as the camera comes without power supply and wihout power cable (except the one from V mount to DC input)

Any ideas where to get a proper (but not too much expensive) power supply for the sony f65 ?

The F65 is pretty power-hungry if I remember correctly, drawing something like 8 amps. That 95W battery should only run it for around 45 minutes, I would think. A shark fin running dual batteries for hotswapping would probably be a good choice, but you'd need at least four batteries for it to make sense I think.

I see a bunch of reasonable 8-pin power Lemo to d-tap power cables out there, it would be easy enough to chop one and splice it to a power supply like this. I haven't used or tested that specific cable and converter so I can't vouch for them, just examples.

We're not expected to believe that's a good position for a shoulder pad?

The shark-fin balances it out. (y)

This is just an example image I found online. I have also dreamed about owning one of these crazy cameras. The one you have Alejandro looks like it's in great condition.

Aren't you still just at the mercy of no fore/aft adjustments, only balancing via adding/removing accessories?
