Dave's Turbo NPR

Dave's Turbo NPR

Dave Kutz is a D.P. in Pennsylvania who used his NPR to shoot TV commercials, industrials and point-of-purchase marketing films. His "tricked out" NPR started out with the purchase of a Chroszeil matte box and follow focus attachment (for which he had to machine the mount himself). He then added a B&W video tap. Each of his magazines is fitted with an Anton Bauer style, quick release battery bracket. The top "C" mount has an Arri lens adaptor in place and a Littlite has been supplied to make life easier for the A.C. in reading the focus wheel. It's a bit hard to see in this photo, but Dave also thought up the idea of using a padded foam bicycle grip (cut down a bit) to soften the blow of carrying a fully loaded camera like this. Note also the Alcan 54 motor made by Aaton that helps reduce the overall height of the camera by several inches.
