Manual for MFF-1

[Martin Weiss]

Does anyone have a manual for Arri's MFF-1 floating around that they could send me a copy of? I couldn't find one online. Trying to figure out how to reverse the gear.

Thanks.

I don't have mine in front of me, but I think it just pulls off without tools. Not really a manual but there is this:

Yep, I found that one too, but an overview over all of Arri's accs doesn't really help...

im pretty sure you just unscrew the gear with a flat head and flip it to the other side right?

Yeah I have a few FF systems and can't remember off hand how the Arri handles removing the gear. In any case, it should be very easy. I remember doing it with ease.

That will not reverse the gear, you have to flip the whole unit, like this:

The arrow is on the wrong plane but you know what I mean.

Thanks, that should do the trick.

Hey Martin - any luck tracking down that manual? I'm still stuck trying to figure out how to use the hard stops, lol. Plus my unit has excessive play 10+mm between the knob and mechanism, any tips to set that straight would be great. Cheers all!

Found this instructional from Arri for the MFF-2, should work for the MFF-1 too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2uo8qw0EW0
