r/focuspuller

Hello all,

I’ve recently acquired a used Cine13 for a very good price. While the monitor functions perfectly well, it does have some noticeable problems, such as; dust on the LCD panel, a burning plastic smell after being on for 30min, the joystick being slightly loose and the fan bearing getting slightly squeaky.

I have so far had it powered on for roughly 50 hours without any issue otherwise.

I come from a technical background, so I would like to open it up and have a look at the internals before sending it out for repair. I’ve managed to take all the screws and connectors locks off , but the back panel refuses to separate around where the battery connector is.

I obviously don’t want to pry it open and risk permanently damaging it.

I’m hoping someone from this community has some experience with opening these up and can share either a service manual or point me in the direction of what I’m missing.

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Looking for the lowest-profile quick release/clamp type stuff for lightweight transmitters and accessories. Here are some measurements of things I have on hand, thick to slim:

1. Wooden camera nato rail + receiver = 20.7mm
2. solid Camera wedgie2 = 19mm
3. Kondor blue mini QR (newest version) = 17.6mm

Looking to go with the slimmest quickly-removable design for lightweight transmitters/cam accessories on mirrorless builds. Let me know what you have that you like - thanks!
