509HD Professional Video Head

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The 509HD systems are the result of an important technical evolution - the perfect synthesis between an innovative "bridge architecture" and Manfrotto's cutting edge engineering: Bridging Technology - an exclusive Manfrotto patent. Thanks to the 509HD's bridge design, the PAN friction control is intuitive and easy to set, but also protected against knocks. Movement around the PAN and TILT axes is smoothed by ball-bearing units which remove all unwanted vibration, no matter what the operating temperature. Friction control combines with a step counterbalance system (covering the full weight range of video equipment) to allow the 509HD to be fine-tuned with extreme precision for the exact in-shot movements you need. The 509HD's FDS (Fluid Drag System) is variable and directly controls action and resistance on both axes; the ergonomics of the controls have been noticeably improved to make use of the FDS even easier.

All of this guarantees ultimate control and excellent video camera support, no matter what the situation, the shooting style, or the equipment setup. The load capacity has also been improved: the 509HD supports kit up to 13kg (28,8lb) at 55mm c.o.g and two 3/8" threads on the top plate allow accessories, such as monitors and arms, to be fitted straight to the head, thus eliminating the need for extra clamps, saving set-up time and freeing the video camera's hot shoe for other components. The Manfrotto 509HD is itself a bridge, helping the professional videographer reach ever-better results, enabling your potential and leading ambitions on towards new challenges. The Manfrotto 509HD systems give you the advantage of total stability and fluidity. An advantage which allows you to go further, towards more dynamic, eye-opening and creative video.

595B Fig Rig Camera Stabilizing System

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Manfrotto Fig Rig camera-stabilizing system was the brainchild of film director Mike Figgis, who employed the idea on many of his award-winning films. Non-traditional in design, simple and effective, the Fig Rig is the only modular system in the world to smoothly support the DV camera while acting as a frame to mount the necessary accessories including zoom controllers, mics, mixers, lights, monitors, arms and more.

Essentially a circular frame with crossbar mount for most mini DV cameras, the Fig Rig becomes another body part to produce smooth, steady traveling shots. As the operator walks, their muscles and tendons absorb all the shocks, transferring only fluid movements to the camera. With no straps or harnesses attached to the Fig Rig, quick and wide movements can be made within the same shot from ground-level to overhead, all in one smooth movement. The camera, accessories and operator become one, allowing for quick and unobtrusive filming, allowing for flexibility and expanded creativity.

In addition to being a steady support, the Fig Rig is a frame on which to build your video system. Your camera has only one hot-shoe for accessories, limiting you to one light or one monitor. With the Fig Rig, you can mount a number of vital accessories for today's cameras. With the use of the optional 595CLA clamp, you can convert the Fig Rig frame into a fully-loaded roving cine rig precisely positioning your mic or monitor anywhere around your camera. Add on a Manfrotto 521 series remote control and now you have complete fingertip control of zoom and focus. Customize the Fig Rig to your liking.

Features:

Hand Pads - For a comfortable and secure grip even in the most extreme environments.
Cable Clip - Supplied with 4 cable clips to keep all your wires wrapped cleanly around the rig and out of your shot.
Crossbar - The camera bar is threaded with one 1/4"-20, 3/8" and 5/8" hole for additional accessory mounting.
Rubber Base Padding - A non-slip rubber pad provides stability when using the Fig Rig on a flat surface such as a table, floor or railing.
Sliding Quick Release Plate - Supplied with a 3433PL sliding QR plate allowing you to position and balance your camera. The plate system can be switched out with a variety of Manfrotto plate assemblies to best match your camera.
Compatible video remote controls - With Manfrotto's 521 series remote controls you can control zoom and focus (for Sony and Canon). With the Fig Rig you have complete control of your camera without ever removing your hands from the Rig.

G2380 Series 2 Fluid Video Tripod Head with Sliding Quick Release

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Gitzo G2380 Series 2 video head and you can see it's something special. Yet, the innovative design is much more than cosmetic. It has been painstakingly developed to eliminate all unnecessary weight, while maintaining the strength, long-lasting durability, and extraordinary precision for which Gitzo heads have become famous. Weighing a mere 3 lbs., the G2380 is perfect for location work and ideally suited for lightweight ENG cameras and DV Cams.

With its fluid control, the G2380 provides exceptionally smooth pans and tilts. Friction for both pan and tilt planes is fully adjustable to perfectly match the weight of your camera. Tightening a convenient knob in the center of the friction control can also independently lock both movements. A sliding quick-release plate also allows the camera to be easily mounted and balanced from either the front or the rear, and a built-in secondary safety catch protects the camera from accidentally sliding off the head.

With all this style and features, the G2380 goes one step further and incorporates a pan bar that converts in seconds for either right or left-hand operation. And in addition to video applications, the new video fluid head works well with still photography when controlling long lenses and creating dramatic telephoto pan effects.

G1380 Series 3 Fluid Video Tripod Head with Sliding Quick Release

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Gitzo G1380 professional fluid video head is designed for lightweight ENG cameras. The G1380 head incorporates important video features such as perfect balancing system, variable fluid drag control on pan and tilt movements for smooth repeatable actions, as well as separate pan and tilt locks. The counterbalance system is adjustable with 6 interchangeable springs (included) to cover camera weights from 2.2 to 22 lbs.

Features:

Safe Grip - Safe Grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plates and in applications where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.
Separate Pan Control - When using a ball head, the ability to lock and unlock the panoramic movement independent of front-back or lateral tilt movements is convenient for panoramic photography and when a high level of control is required.
Separate Friction Control - By fine tuning the freedom of movement of the head, friction control makes the head slower and more precise or faster and looser. This feature also helps to make using heavy equipment or long lenses safer. On ball and fluid head models without separate friction controls, slowly adjusting the lock knobs gives similar results.
Reversible Handles - Handles can removed and repositioned or rotated in different positions. This feature greatly increases a head’s versatility and is particularly appreciated by left handed users.
Leveling Bubble - The leveling bubble helps you to get your photographs, film or scope viewing perfectly horizontal or vertical. Gitzo’s production staff set all leveling bubbles by hand in order to ensure 100% accurate level indication.
Double Quick Release Safety System - The system consists of two pins, one fixed and one manually operated by means of a button, that prevent camera equipment from suddenly dropping out of the head when the quick release locking knob is released. Extremely useful with heavy equipment, long lenses and spotting scopes.

Samy's Camera — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 08:00:00 GMT

The Matthews DC-Slider Motion Control System is a unique system that allows every manual or programmed camera movement to be recorded and stored for later use. The DC-Slider comes with factory camera control presets that can be easily changed as needed. There are nine persistent memory banks and one volatile bank available to facilitate movement repetition up to 999 times and movement extension up to 99 times. An optional accessory cord is available for Canon and Nikon DSLRs for control of shutter speed and exposure from the microprocessor.

Controller
The controller has right and left direction button, an LCD display, menu and control buttons, ramping, speed and speed range knobs.

Manual Movement
The large speed knob controls the camera platform speed and movement both to the left and to the right. The speed range knob controls top speed. You have the option of setting this from 1 to 20 cm a second.

Ramping Knob
The ramping knob controls how fast/slow the system gets up to the top speed or how fast/slow the platform comes to a stop. You have the option of adjusting this from 1-10.

Record
To record a move, use the system to move the platform to the desired start position. Make sure to set the speed range and ramping to your preference.

Repeat Movement
You may also set the system to repeat and loop saved and recorded moves from 1-999 times.

Time Extension
Time Extension or 'Extend' will allow the user to extend the time of a programmed or saved move up to 99 times.

Time Lapse Continuous

Stop Motion Shots

Multifunctional DC-Slider

Samy's Camera — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:00:00 GMT

The Matthews Multifunctional DC-Slider is used for sliding camera systems in multiple angles. It also works as a mini-jib arm and can transform into a 6' (1.828 m) tower. Equipped with a counterbalance mechanism, the DC-Slider offers a stable shooting platform even when set in extreme angles. A total of 26 lb (12 kg) counterweight allows you to perfectly stabilize a camera system weighing up to 22 lb (10 kg) on the arm. Using the positive-locking adjustment feature, you can place the camera at the exact vertical or at an off-axis position for creative imaging. The slider is mountable on a single tripod, and also can be placed on leveled or uneven surfaces. The LoProfile design allows you to operate the DC-Slider from a tabletop.

In the Mini-Jib mode, the DC-Slider offers a horizontal working diameter of 63" (160 cm). You can lock the counterbalance mechanism to ensure steady movements through the full-range of the mini-jib arm. Easy adjustment of the parallelogram bar ensures that the camera stays locked on to a subject through the range of the arm's vertical travel rather than staying in a fixed attitude.

The DC-Slider can be set up in the tower-mode by simply removing and repositioning 2 handles. As a tower, the slider allows for a vertical camera movement through the full range of the 63" (160 cm) track. The counterbalance system maintains a steady resistance to camera movements, thus reducing possibilities of irregular jerks during the start or finish of a camera move.

Equipped with a removable crank-handle, the DC-Slider allows you to control the camera system across the full span in all configurations and positions. Specially formulated, the composite wheels ensure smooth, silent operation of the camera and counterbalance system. Minimum and maximum heights of the DC-Slider in multi-angled positions, mini-jib mode, and tower-mode are dependent on the height and configuration of your tripod (not included).
