  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Where is the new Arri Matte Box + FF combo?

So the mattebox and ff are both shipping?!?!
Great!

Shipping when I announced last week. I believe that we're almost out of stock on the first delivery from Arri but expect another delivery by the end of the week. Some of the bits and pieces were not all available yet, but we're getting fulfillment of these quickly as well.
 
Mitch,
I did check you post history, hence my comment on the number of your posts with a sales focus.
Don't see how you paying for banner adds changes the purpose/nature of this forum/accessory thread which is the free discussion on various accessories....so hopefully members will receive a balanced view on products they may be forking out hard earned bucks for.
Cheers,

David the "no sales in this thread" banner only applies to people trying to post classified ads. What Mitch does here is totally kosher as long as his credit card clears :greedy:

Wow!! Are you saying Mitch is paying for the right to spruik Abelcine products on this Accessory thread or are you pulling my leg?
Maybe we can start another thread where members can discuss accessories purely on it's merit with no sales agenda?
Dave,
 
Pretty much, that's how Jarred has set up the site. That being said I think Mitch has contributed plenty of useful info beside just sales pitches. And you can always block him and never have to see another one of his posts ever again.:matrix:
 
don't get me wrong...i like/appreciate the technical advice Mitch offers here. it just gets a little weird/confusing when you feel the reason for a post is more sales (or pre-sales) than technical advice....from Mitch or anyone else involved in pre/post sales support. It makes people a little sceptical that maybe the advice is somewhat unbiased. So when this becomes so pervasive that the integrity of the threads become compromised, people speak up. It's what's happening now...
Dave,
 
Reduser is not a non-profit organization. Many here (myself included) use this forum to sell our services, talents and products to the community. Personally I think we're better off for it. Many Redusers are coming here to find out exactly this type of info.
 
Evin,
You do this in an appropriate way & part of the forum where there is no confusion.
D
 
FYI David, not five minutes ago I answered a PM about a product by telling the person to go to a different vendor where I felt he would be better served.

Moderators have spoken. And I did ask them privately first.

Well David, if it makes you feel any better I'm about to become certified on the Phantom camera system this weekend at Abel Burbank and then Mitch can pitch me too:bleh:

Mitch pitching you at Abel...sounds good!...and like the proper place.

Gee David, it sounds like you're inviting me to write 10 paragraphs telling people all about Phantom!

Stay tuned for some exciting updates for the Arri MMB-1 mattebox. Some stuff you've all been asking for and some surprises as well.
 
I have it and it works great. I am using it with the Long Valley lightweight rod setup.

I would like to have a swing away option so if you are out in the field you don't have to worry about sliding off the matte box when changing lenses. With the zooms that I use top-loading isn't a big deal but I can see with primes it would be. A French flag would be great too.
 
I won't comment on what isn't announced yet, but 1Dog, there is a 3rd-party swingaway adapter available from Zacuto that works well with the MMB-1.
