Walimex Pro By David Fox
Walimex Pro has added to its Aptaris series of camera cages with a version tailored to the Blackmagic Cinema 4K and 2.5K cameras. The unit comes with two removable 15mm stainless steel rod modules (of 200mm and 250mm in length) at the top and bottom, which provide sufficient space for follow focus, matte box and other accessories (such as a
light or microphone). The modular aluminium system can also be extended to become a lightweight shoulder rig, using a handle and shoulder module.
The cage also comes with a handle that can be fastened at any side and which is particularly useful for ground level filming. The Aptaris system can also be fitted with such accessories as a lens support, a monitor carrier and the convenient cable protection. 11.G68
Two new lightweight (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) LED Fresnel lights have been launched by Lupo Lux. The 50W Dayled 650 and 90W Dayled 1000 output the equivalent of a 650W and 1kW traditional Fresnel respectively, and come in 3200K or 5600K versions. They can be used as spot
or flood lights, with hot restrike and 0 - 100% dimming, with DMX connection via 5 pin XLR. They have 14.8v battery connections via 4-pin XLR for location use, or can be connected to mains at 220v or 110v.
The Dayled 650 has a
120mm Fresnel lens, weighs 2.5kg, and its dimensions are 190mm x 160mm x 180mm, while the Dayled 1000 has a 150mm Fresnel lens, weighs 3.5kg, and measures 210mm x 260mm x 230mm. 11.A65
Robots on rails: Shotoku’s new SmartTrack can be used on the floor or ceiling
Smart rail camera system
Shotoku Broadcast Systems
By David Fox
The new SmartTrack System from Shotoku is a fully integrated rail- based camera system for floor or ceiling use based on core track- based technology from MAT, Germany.
In combination with Shotoku pan/tilt heads and control systems the MAT system has been turned into an ideal robotics package for daily TV studio use. “It is highly adaptable, supporting floor or ceiling operation and a range of height column configurations, in both upright and inverted modes,” said Shotoku, which promised that it
would be robust and stable, and suitable for long-term use in demanding applications such as 24/7 news or TV Shopping environments.
Shotoku has also enhanced its TR-XT control systems, to offer greater camera capacity and more dynamic configuration, and is showing systems controlling multiple cameras and sharing camera operation across several controller-types. Also upgraded are its fully
robotic studio pedestals, to provide complete X-Y-H camera positioning with free-roaming capability, where track systems would not be appropriate. Enhanced features include Virtual Reality tracking and simple referencing. 11.F40
