-Nothing much to say, the picture speaks for itself. No issues and the switch between zoom and prime was efficient.+Nothing much to say, the picture speaks for itself. No issues and the switch between zoom and prime was efficient. The only notable thing is that I didn't use an Arri RMB-8 bracket for my side rode, but a small personal item that could have been better.

-To get the 35, we made a few concessions. Especially with the Bolt 300. But well : it's old but cheap and it works very well, imho. 3 motors would have been better but the zoom wasn't used much (and eventually, I changed the position of the motors for the final configuration, what we can'see in the first photo). And I remember that I had some trouble with my Cinetape but nothing terrible. +To get the 35, we made a few concessions. Especially with the Bolt 300.

 The worst thing about this setup was the battery plate. The 35 requires a 24-volt power supply: therefore, this plate cannot be used for hot-swapping. Every time the battery needed changing, we had to bring another V98 dual battery pack to connect to the camera. Such a drag... But, we had no choice but to use the micro V98. There we go. The worst thing about this setup was the battery plate. The 35 requires a 24-volt power supply: therefore, this plate cannot be used for hot-swapping.
