The six I have made so far are for the pistol grip motor that has one big pin and one small pin on the motor power connector. I will have some available soon for the motor power connector that uses two big pins. Things have been so busy, I haven\u2019t had a chance to put these up on the website yet, but if you are interested, there are 6 units currently available. Please email me at <a href=\"mailto:cinemagear@cinemagear.com\">cinemagear@cinemagear.com<\/a> for more information. They will be $149 each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A power adapter for the ARRI 2B and 2C 35mm cameras designed and printed in-house at CinemaGear.com\" class=\"wp-image-2817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I also said that the ARRICAM ST would be listed on the website this week, but I haven\u2019t gotten a chance to get that together yet. On a related note, I have been working with my friend Arnold Peterson to develop a retrofit module that will work with any working ARRI 2B or 2C pistol grip motor to convert it to variable speed and crystal sync. You can see a rendering of the concept art in the last image. More to come on that in the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A power adapter for the ARRI 2B and 2C 35mm cameras designed and printed in-house at CinemaGear.com\" class=\"wp-image-2818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemagear.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arri-power-adapter-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think I have solved the various filament questions and the process for 3D printing the ARRI 2B\/2C power adapter that allows you to use a standard 4-pin XLR cable with almost any stock ARRI 2B or 2C pistol grip motor.
