42 GAZELLE GUARANTEES GREATER PRECISION IN BODY CAPTURE
Beijing Zooxer Filming Technology BY DAVID FOX
The Gazelle studio camera crane from Zooxer Tech uses AI and neural network technology to ensure greater precision in body capture, even in dynamic and crowded environments. The system can be used as an automated or manual crane robot, with switching between modes a matter of one button and no need to cut off power. Its capabilities include AI auto tracking, optional four-way radar-based anti-collision

technology, and optional virtual reality tracking with high-precision sensing data output. There are four versions, with jib arm ranges of about 3m, 4m,
5m and 6m. They can all take a 30kg camera payload and come with a two-axis U-type tracking head in standard and large frame sizes. There is also a teleprompter
STAR ROLE FOR AFFORDABLE ANAMORPHICS Sirui Optical BY DAVID FOX
The new set of Sirui IronStar 1.5x T1.9 affordable anamorphic cine lenses can cover full-frame, or even larger image sensors (up to 46mm image circle). There are three lenses in the initial lineup (35, 45 and 60mm), with three more (75, 100 and 135mm) available early next year. Users will be able to choose
from traditional anamorphic blue lens fl ares, ideal for the
sci-fi look, or neutral (silver) lens fl ares. They will also produce oval bokeh, with a 16-blade iris. Unusually, the anamorphic elements are in the middle of the lenses, as this helps to reduce their size and weight (which is about 1kg each).
They come with PL and EF lens mounts, and users can change mounts quickly, with just four screws. They also have easy back focus adjustment. Minimum focusing distance is 0.65m for the 35mm and 45mm lenses, and 0.78m for the 60mm.
ISTEADY GIMBAL PHONES IT IN
Shenzhen Hohem Technology BY DAVID FOX
Gimbal specialist Hohem’s iSteady M7 is a three-axis AI-tracking stabiliser for smartphones that uses a removable, reversible eye-tracking module that can track humans, animals or objects, and allows self-shooters to trigger recording with a gesture. The module even has a built-in RGB fi ll light. It features a detachable remote control, with a small screen and a range of up to 10m, for selecting
subjects, controlling the gimbal and hitting record. This greatly simplifi es things for those who are working alone and shooting a piece to camera. It also allows users to program moves with defi ned waypoints or set up time-lapse sequences. The gimbal can take a 500g payload to allow for larger phones and accessories, such as microphones, receivers and add-on lenses, and has a 19cm extending arm for low- or high- angle shots. It has a neat function to move the motor out of the shot when using a wide-angle lens, with just a few clicks of a trigger in
head suitable for prompters up to 24in, with a 50kg head payload. Adaptable three-way lens motors are fi tted with drive camera lenses. Users can also fi t an optional lifting column, with a range of up to 40cm. A dual-panel system, with a backup panel, offers redundancy to ensure no interruption. The system includes multi-camera control, and users can set up precise pre-set track motion to perform point-to-point, continuous single and repeated motion shooting. Rail shooting is also an option. 12.C19
All the lenses have 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears, in the same position on each lens, for swapping lenses quickly without
having to alter the position of follow focus or other gear. They have a 270° focus throw. 12.D63

hours using AI tracking. It can also help to power the phone. 12.G70
