Yesterday Cinevate launched their brand new DSLR rig – the Simplis. As the name suggest, this rig is simple and small. While it could serve as the foundation or core of a larger rig, it seems to me that it’s uniqueness comes in its size and scalability. The rig uses ball bearing joints in multiple places that would not only allow you to adjust your rig on the fly – but will also allow you to fold it down into a more compact configuration. These two features make this an excellent rig for the documentarian or photojournalist who is constantly on the move. To top it off, Cinevate has a record of building very solid products – so it stands to reason that this rig could also deal with the wear and tear that comes with constant travel. Head over to Cinevate’s site to check the rig out!
And hats off to Imaginarium Studio for making such a cool promo spot!
LOVE THE MUSIC, IF ONLY MY OFFICE WAS THAT CLEAN.
Sounds and looks very cool (and simple..)
But the ‘Cinevate’, ‘Simplis’ and ‘Cinevate’s site’ links are all broken (at least to me).
The design reminds me of the U-Boat Commander, but also adds in the connection to the body. I’d be interested to see how the footage comes out. I could imagine that it would get rid of a lot of the smaller shakes, but it probably wouldn’t be super smooth in motion like a steadicam. Again, that’s just my imagination – I have no idea how well it really performs.
Looking forward to watch the next CreativeLive Workshop.
Counting the number of days already. Will also try to make it for the live event.
these products are a way too expensive 🙁
