We take the wheels for a spin
Camera operator Bret Allen, SOC leapt into the manufacturing world after a phone conversation with an Arriflex rep. Frustrated by the high prices gear heads commanded on Ebay (used Mitchell or Mini-Worrall heads never sold for less than $10,000), he called Arri and asked the price of a new Arrihead. “About $42,000,” said the rep in a thick German accent. “You should order now as we only make two a year.” A year later he, his business partner Joe Mendoza, and their company Gearnex are bringing a low cost gear head to market that is perfect for small HD cameras like the RED. The pre-order price for the Gearnex gear head is $4,995, 1/8th the price of an Arrihead and about the price of a new O’Connor fluid head. Like RED, they intend to change the world by bringing quality film-style tools to the masses.
