Eric:

I think GC is making longer armposts now, but they don't come standard in the package. If they aren't, you can probably have them made by a local machinist. I've used a range of four...

Perhaps a Panavision UK thing--no such requirement over here. It's just a camera system after all, nothing mythological.

I believe his patents are for reverse telecine--60 to 24, whereas telecine is 24 to 60 (traditionally speaking--of course these days there is one to one 24 fps film to 24p DVD)
