This is a highly refined approach to my needs of operating. The first objectivewas to build something reliable. Second was for it to withstand the hardships oflocation shooting. Third, fast and easy to setup.

I picked Anton Bauer batteries because you can find them anywhere in theworld, and there is a wide choice of batteries and chargers.

The thinking behind the design of the “Jerry-Rig” was to have asled that was convertible to the camera you are flying. Meaningthat if you are flying a video camera and it is not very heavy thenyou should be able to use one battery for the power and weightsavings. If you would like to run two you can. This is also true forthe heavy film cameras. One for 12 volt and two for 24 volt. Youcan also mix and match the batteries."Update your 3-A or EFP sled."

The housing is milled from solid stock (2024-T351) and then hard anodized (Black). The pin outfor the cables are the same as the PRO design so it’s totally interchangeable.

The sled with post, gimbal, donkey box, Preston amp., TB-6and one Pro Pack battery weights in at 18 lb. total.

Batteries not included.

“Not Sold Through Dealers”

Part # Jerry-Rig

Some of the unique and innovative features:

• The ICBM is integrated into the sled. This keeps an eye on your battery level.• Built in video DA.• Worm drive for the battery adjustment (red knob). Batteries can be

adjusted 8” inches fore and aft. There is also a coarse adjustmentthat disengages the worm drive. An adjustment scale is providedon the side of the sled.

• The battery box has two circuit breakers to cut power.• Two switches to select battery configuration and power

(12 volt or 24 volt ).• The battery box can be setup for goofy foot operators.• Walking lightTM. Located in the bottom of the sled, this powerful LED is handy

for dark stages and night shooting to see where you are stepping and to see your marks.• Precision balancing level in an ideal position.• Plenty of outputs for power and video.• The "Jerry-Rig" sled is only 10 3/4" Long x 3" Wide x 8" Tall. (3.5 lb.)

5P A MPRESTON ADJUSTABLE MOUNT

P.A.M. - Lighter, Stronger, Easier, Better, More Options, Cost Less.

And best of all, the PAM mount weighs just 3.4 ounces andNo tools required for use. All PAM mounts are hard anodizedblack. PAM mount weighs just 3.4 ounces.The PAM mount can stay built even when not in use.Part # PAM for the DM-1 Motor.Part # SMPAM for the DM2 motor.


The Pam comes standard with a 15mm iris rod armmount. I offer a 5/8" iris rod (Panavision) and the 19mm(Arriflex) as options. In addition to these, I have a PAMoffset that allows the motor to be offset one or two inchesdepending, on motor orientations. This facilitates gettingclose to the camera body for iris pulls.

Part # Arm 15mmPart # Arm 5/8"Part # Arm 19mm

Panavision with Hill Pana bracket, PAM and 15mm iris rods.

The PAM is a motor mount that allows the cameraassistant to mount the Preston digital motors with ease.This is a lightweight mount that is very strong andallows the assistant to place motors in the tightest ofplaces on all cameras. The rosette allows the motor to bepositioned in 10 degree increments over 360 degrees tothe lens. Once the motor is in place, the rosette designkeeps the motor engaged to the lens gear. The motor canbe adjusted in and out horizontally to the lens within a 5"range. The motor arm is uniquely D shaped to keep themotor at a 90-degree angle to the lens.The key feature is the ease of changing the side to whichthe motor mounts to the lens. (The Preston mountrequirestools and considerably more time for moving the motorfrom one side to the other.) Simply loosen the T-handle,turn the motor around, and tighten the T-handle, DONE!Mere seconds -and no tools.

6P A MACCESSORIES


Preston End Mount

This mount allows owners of the SCORPIO focussystem to use the PAM brackets with their motors.This mount puts a rosette on both sides of the motorlike the Preston. The same fine PAM features nowapply to the SCORPIO as the Preston. You must stillpurchase the PAM system above and this adapter tocomplete the set-up per motor.Part# SCORPIO

SCORPIO Mount

Preston end mount was developed for use with the PAMbracket system in tight spaces. Such as controlling theIris on Hot Heads and Cranes. Anyplace where thezoom servo motor is still attached to the lens. The endmount will give you more reach to get over the top andto the lens. Suggested use, to drive the Iris gear.Part# PAMEnd

PAM Offset

The PAM Offset allows the motor to be offset by oneor two inches depending on which way you positionthe motor. This replaces the arm clamp with a newclamp that has a one-inch standoff between the motorand the support arm.The PAM Offset allows the motor to be offset one ortwo inches depending, on motor orientations. Thisfacilitates getting close to the camera body for irispulls. Takes seconds to install and requires no tools.Part# PAMOffset.

The GoreLock Auto Dock solves many of the problems that operatorshave been working around for years.Now there is a solution. The GoreLock not only automatically locks thesled into place but also holds it while changing the lens or mag. Theassistant no longer freaks out as the sled flops to one side!The docking ring can be positioned directly under the top stage. Theclearance needed between the docking ring and the gimbal is just 3/8" ofan inch. This means you can ride the gimble way up on the post forheavy cameras.The docking bracket locks to the docking ring and never makes contactwith the sled. No more scratching the post.The GoreLock gives you an additional 1 1/2" offset, so your sled doesn’thit your stand. The bracket has a 5 degree angle slanting into the standfor unleveled ground and also the weight of the sled falls into the stand.The sled can be rotated in the docking bracket (while locked) for adjust-ments to the camera or for running cables.The red release levers are on both sides for ambidextrous operation.When mounting both hands can be on the sled and with just a touch ofyour finger you are released and flying. When docking you just slide thedocking ring into the bracket. When you hear the latch "click" you canwalk away. Great for low mode operation. For you guys running withgyros, the GoreLock Auto Dock holds the sled in place while docked.The GoreLock Auto Dock is made to replace the end of Cinema Prod-ucts docking bracket also avalible with Hill Docking Bracket.The GoreLock Auto Dock will work with all the sleds: Master, Elite,Pro, 3A, 3, EFP, Pro-Vid. Please specify the rig you own when ordering.

Hill Docking BracketThe Hill Docking bracket that is user friendly.

Here you go Pro owners! Spin balance on the docking bracket. No more setting up the dolly or extinction arms.And 3A owners, no more turning the docking bracket around to balance the sled. Spin or static balance of theany sled can be achieved with this new design. No more banging of the arm and the tools getting in the way ofturning the docking bracket around, not to mention holding the rig and trying to do this at the same time. Thisdocking bracket solves allot of the headaches.

The red knob is for setting the tension or drag on the balancing post.There are two C-stand receivers to choose from.The forward position will be used 90% of the time. The second positionis those few times when you need more clearance between the stand andthe sled, like low mode.(The balance post extends 12" inches from the stand and 15" incheswhen in the back C-stand receiver.)

To balance the sled simply undock fromthe Gorelock and pull the balancing posttowards you and position the live yoke onthe stud and spin or static balance. Whendone remove from stud and slide balanc-ing post to the rear and dock the sled.The balancing post can be used to hangthe vest when not in the balance mode.

The arm and the tool holder can be placed on either side of the docking bracket. The arm stinger can be posi-tioned by pushing up and over. (spring loaded) The tool holder can come off all together or placed on the sideyou prefer. The extra holes can be used as a focus unit holder. (Not supplied with docking bracket) I will leavethat up to you guys. Also rock steady, no slop in movement of adjusting parts. Hard anodized black body,balancing post is in hard anodized Grey and the brake knob is red.Arm stinger and studs are 303 stainless steel to last.This is available in Pro/ 3A/ EFP/ & Master/Elite stud sizes.
