HYBRID TRIPOD IS JUST THE ONE FOR MIRRORLESS CAMERA USERS Manfrotto BY DAVID FOX
One fi ne day: The One Hybrid tripod and 500X fl uid video head
The Videndum stand is showing the new Manfrotto One Hybrid tripod, designed for mirrorless camera users working in video and photography. Paolo Frison, Program Director, Manfrotto, said: “The One Hybrid tripod is the result of an extensive user research programme involving professionals across Europe, Asia and the US. Every feature, from the new leg shape to the Xchange system, was driven by real-world feedback. We didn’t just design for hybrid creators; we designed with them.”
B-MOUNT BATTERIES PREACH A HIGHER POWER Swit Electronics BY DAVID FOX
output and fl exibility.
Swit has released a full B-Mount battery ecosystem for cinema cameras which support Arri’s new open B-Mount standard, such as the Alexa 35 and the Blackmagic Ursa Cine. B-Mount offers a 24V (28.8V) nominal voltage and intelligent communication between the battery and camera. It was developed to meet the growing demands for higher power
Blackmagic Design has stated that the Ursa Cine performs best when powered in the 24-34V voltage range, the operating window of B-Mount systems. The higher power is necessary for high frame rate recording and to power accessories from the camera’s RS and EXT outputs. Higher voltage also reduces current draw, reducing heat for better stability during long takes. The battery also communicates
real-time status, remaining runtime, cycle life and error info
Available in carbon fi bre and aluminium, it introduces a non- round leg shape to deliver the stability expected from photo tripods while improving torsional resistance for smooth video panning. It also includes Xtend, a patented mechanism that allows all leg sections to be deployed simultaneously in one action. Xchange, Manfrotto’s new quick
release system, allows users to swap tripod heads, sliders, or other accessories without tools, and is part of its new 500X fl uid video head. Its fl uid drag system offers smooth pan and tilt, while a selectable counterbalance optimised for 2.4kg cameras delivers extra control. 13.A05

GET READY FOR A LIGHT ON THE TILES Kino Flo – Chauvet Lighting BY DAVID FOX
LiteGear, now part of the Chauvet Cinema Group, has introduced the LiteTile Spectrum, a lightweight, weatherproof, fl exible LED panel. It comes in two models: the LiteTile Spectrum 4 and Spectrum 8, with four or eight entirely redesigned light engines, featuring 32 or 64 pixels, respectively. Despite being new technology, they are compatible with existing LiteGear dimmers, with 0-100%
