Cine Photo Tools is always innovating to bring you the best in video, film, broadcast, media, and post production. The company will have top products from some of the industry heavyweights they represent in South Africa including RED Digital Cinema, Kino Flo, Chrosziel, and Bright Tangerine to name a few. Two exciting new innovations that Cine Photo Tools will showcase at Mediatech Africa 2017 are:
Bright Tangerine Revolvr
The Revolvr is a high-performance, manual follow focus unit with a lot of great features. With brilliant drive efficiency and direct transmission, the Revolvr gives complete control with zero play or backlash when you connect a whip and speed crank. Its modularity makes the Revolvr highly adaptive and customisable for any shooting situation, and also boasts the ability to work with stills lenses.
The Revolvr’s slim, integrated design allows more options of placement and space for other accessories. It features a dual mountable arm that can be used on either side, dual sided gears, and the ability to pare down its physical profile for tight areas. The removable hard stops move independently, and can be used together or independently. Designed with comfort in mind, the conical handle matches your hand’s contours, allowing you to operate the unit while wearing gloves, without a hindrance. The Revolvr is not only portable, but offers the perfect balance of features, flexibility and durability. If you’re in a tight spot, both the whip and speed crank can attach without the handle, simply plug them directly into the core bridge for direct drive.
Chrosziel MagNum Wireless Follow Focus Kits:
The Chrosziel MagNum is a focus puller’s dream realised, with professional operators contributing in optimising its ergonomics and functionality. Without a doubt, the MagNum is a truly convenient and intuitive wireless lens control system, with the kit containing everything you need right out the box. Despite its robust design, the system is lightweight, responsive and precise, as well as easy to operate.
The MagNum kits feature a transmitter and receiver, as well as one or more digital motors. The MagNum has an intuitive interface with OLED screen, a fluid-drag control knob, 2.4 GHz antennas with spectrum analysis for interference free transmission, camera record start/stop function, four freely assignable hotkeys so you can assign things like zoom positions, focus ranges and directional buttons etc. There are a lot of custom options for pulling, setting stops and limits. Calibration is automatic with lenses with hard stops. The unit is symmetrically designed, and works just as well for southpaw operation.
The built-in power booster ensures the lowest motor delay and fastest motor response. All settings are adjustable from the hand unit. The electronic “Hold” captures your settings and keeps them, so your motor position and end stop information is saved during battery change for example .The 1/4”-20 mounting holes on the hand unit allow you to mount it to tripod stands or attach a monitor.
The MagNum is available in a one channel focus-only model, a two-channel focus and iris control model, and a one-channel model that’s expandable and upgradable to two channels. It is a portable unit that comes in a small, hardy case.
