Schindler 330A HT Standard Lift Criticism

It is argued within the lift filming community that the Schindler 330A is one of the most boring modern lifts on the market to film. Well, in response to a lot of roasting of the Schindler HT & 330A hydraulic lift product by a slew of lift photographers, I have created this book post as an adverse reaction to that claim & here I am going to give you examples which contrast to the beliefs of the US Lift filming community.

They have NO character!

This is absolutely NOT TRUE! The Schindler 330A may look boring because it’s a standard lift you see in every day low rise buildings nowadays, but there are very interesting hidden elements within the 330A lift that any ordinary lift photographer wouldn’t be willing to pay attention to, including:
  • Squeaky doors
  • Instantaneous acceleration, deceleration & mild plop leveling
  • Loud motors
  • Runaway floor indicators
And quite frankly, while I was filming the Schindler 330A HT lift you see in the header picture, those were only a few of the hidden characterful elements I was able to pay attention to while filming.
basic form of Schindler HT PREMIUM 330A hydraulic would rank at a 10 / 15 on the lift criticism chart:
  • CHARACTER: 12 / 15
  • STYLE: 6 / 15
  • CLASS: 13 / 15
  • FINAL SCORE: 10 / 15
This is the score of a typical publicly accessible lift in Charlotte North Carolina. Some Schindler 330A lifts may have a character score ranging from 6 to 10, while others 13 to 14. As far as how it runs, I am pretty impressed with what I have noticed when filming this Schindler HT Premium 330A lift & I’m glad I had the opportunity to film this. The worst lift at the Tropicana hotel in Atlantic City is also a Schindler HT VR 330A lift.

Found the source of the problems with my PC

I am proud to finally tell y’all that I believe I have found a definite source of the problems I have been experiencing with my Windows PC over the past few days. It was because of a faulty Windows 10 preview update which was affecting the Windows 10 Recovery Environment. Luckily, I have found a trustworthy program (free of malware) which I could use to debug errors in my PC at any time, minor or major. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s happened when I tried to fix windows PC’s in the past. I am still taking  every precaution possible to further decrease the chance of my Windows PC breaking down or crashing. As a matter of fact, my PC almost crashed  this morning , but luckily, I was able to hard-restart the PC to get it working again by holding the power button down for 15-20 seconds. Luckily,  none of the problems I am experiencing with my PC right now are  anywhere close to what’s h...

LIFT FILMING AGENDA UPDATE 1.25.2019 & WILL CHICAGO BE CROWNED THE NEW KING?

Chicago holds a high possibility of being crowned first place . What if I told you that Chicago has some rare and exotic lifts that you probably won’t find in many other places in the U.S.? That is an existence a lift filmer will be delighted with when they go to the city of Chicago. My four figures of reference were: WI Sirens and Elevators Elevators of Lake County CHI Elevators Windy City Elevators Because I have found so many outstanding Montgomery, Dover, SchindlerHaughton, Westinghouse and KONE lifts throughout the city of Chicago, it wouldn’t be sensible for me to write it all under one big blog post, because it would be a big waste of time for me to go into big, elaborate detail on what made each lift stand out. What I found on YouTube in terms of Chicago lifts Mitsubishi and Fujitec These lift filmers have walked around the city of Chicago filming some super nice lifts, and in the process of watching YouTube videos over the past few months, I have found that Ch...

QUICK RUNDOWN OF THE NORMAL BEHAVIOR OF A 700A

Tallest 700A’s I have been on Arguably, at 20 stories, these have been the tallest Schindler 700A’s I have EVER been on, and the first I’ve been on in a hotel. However, I have noticed some interesting characteristics of the Schindler 700A in mid to high rise applications. Epic lifts indeed To start off, these lifts had absolutely incredible acceleration, deceleration and leveling. They take off like rockets and travel at a mindblowing speed of 120 meters per minute, despite serving a travel distance of 55-60 meters. The deceleration is similar to the Schindler 700A’s at the Nordstrom store at the Mall at Short Hills, as it smoothly phases into its full deceleration mode. In terms of character, these lifts do tend to make a little bit of noise and shake on the way up and down the tower. Car 3 makes a very loud screeching noise as it accelerates towards level 17 going down, which I find to make the ride even more fun. These lifts were installed in 1993, which gives them even more 199...
