When connecting a DSLR camera to an HDMI monitor or an audio device having short HDMI and stereo audio cords help to keep your setup clean. The mini-HDMI connectors on these ALZO HDMI Cords sport a RIGHT ANGLE that leaves the camera vertically. Other HDMI cords without the offset will stick out and could have a higher probability of being wiggled loose or yanked out (as so many of us have experienced). These cords also include a side jog to prevent blocking other cord ports on the camera.

Because all DSLR cameras do not have the same connector orientation, the 2 ALZO HDMI cords have a right and left connector orientation. Therefore, this cord set will work will all DSLR models. The cord dressings are color coded by red and white.

Features
Right angle Stereo Audio cord with siliconized rubber jacket for superior flexibility and exceptional long life
The Right Angle Offset HDMI cords (red & white) have right & left mini-HDMI
Right Angle connectors improve connection reliability
All cord contacts are GOLD PLATED for a low noise connection
HDMI cords length = 21″
STEREO AUDIO cord length = 18″

The new Rokinon 85mm Cine Lens features the same outstanding image quality as the standard Rokinon 24mm F1.4 lens but has the added benefits of de-clicked apertures and follow focus compatibility. De-clicked apertures means that there are no hard clicks when changing apertures and the aperture can be manually set to a very specific number (like f/1.7, f/2.8). The lens has also been constructed so that it can be easily attached to follow focus systems which are widely used by videographers. The Rokinon Cine lenses are the most affordable, high quality lenses in the market today. Approximate retail value: $349.

Adding the FEISOL PB-70 Panning Base to Video Mini Jibs and Cranes that do not have a pan base can quickly upgrade your setup for an easier and more efficient workflow. Even for use on the very popular Manfrotto 561BHDV (discontinued) that did not come with pan control, the PB-70 Panning Base is a simple solution to introducing this function. The Manfrotto Monopod now comes with the 700 Series Head that does include the pan feature.

The FEISOL PB-70 Panning Base feels well built and has a smooth rotation with a large turn style locking knob. There is no drag control and it is not as smooth as a fluid head would be for video. For panorama photography, however, the panning is smooth enough to achieve a consistant pan. There are degree marks that can be easily read and the base has a 3/8″ female thread.

You can also incorporate the Redrock Micro Deluxe Accessory Kit and attach the camera without its housing. In contrast to the one mounting point of GoPro’s housing, the Cobalt Cage has twenty 1/4″ threads, and you can use them not only to mount the camera but to mount accessories for use with the camera. Both GoPro and GoPro2 are compatible.

Connections consist of SDI and mini-HDMI inputs and outputs, a phone jack for calibration and a USB port for software upgrades. You can loop out from both SDI and HDMI and perform conversion out from HDMI to SDI. (If your camera has a mini-HDMI port, like many cameras do, then you will need a mini-HDMI to mini-HDMI cable to connect the camera to this viewfinder).

The adjustable features on the Alphatron Broadcast Electronics Electronic Viewfinder EVF-035W-3G include Brightness, Contrast, Color Temperature, Sharpness, various Scan modes, Markers, User Aspect Zoom, and Blue Gun. Professional features available are 3G Level A/B, Audio Meter, Time Code, Range Error, Zebra, Luma y’ Zone Check, Focus Assist, and Internal Colorbar and Pluge Pattern. The viewfinder has a lightweight magnesium housing and can be powered by an optional battery or DC power supply.

For those of you who already have a motorized slider like the Varavon OliviaTech Motorroid, Varavon now has an option for you to be able to remote-in and control the motion of your slides. The OliviaTech Motorroid and Motorroid can be driven internally or externally with the Timeroid.

The Timeroid acts as a fully programable intervelometer. It is very similar to the MX2 Dynamic Perception controller that it was modeled after. The Varavon Motorroid is not only compatible with the Timeroid, it is also compatible with other company controllers.

Timeroid has single and 2 axis options. The single axis will give you controlled panning and the 2 axis option will allow you to have control of both panning and tilting. The 2 axis option can control 2 motors at the same time.

Currently there is no public information on the Timeroid. Varavon should be releasing this soon on their website. For now we only know the expected price points and release date- $295 for Timeroid and $350 for the Timeroid Controller. Release should be sometime in May 2013.

The Kupo Master C Stand is outfitted with a patented spring ring locking system that removes all tension from the legs so that gravity can do the work for you. A “turtle base” is an industry term where the riser section can be quickly removed from the base for easy transportation and the base can be used with a stand adapter for a low mounting position.

The Kupo 3-Way Clamp is an all metal cast aluminum clamp that features a unique spring locking mechanism that allows you to instantly latch and release the locking collar around any tubing sized from 1.0 Œï_ 1.4″ (25 Œï_ 35mm) in diameter. By turning the tension handle to secure it in place, you can then mount any light fixture or accessory up to 66 lbs (30 Kg) to light stands, scaffolds or Kupoles. The 3 Way Clamp has three recessed mounting locations distributed in 90 degree increments in to accept a series of interchangeable accessories.

The all-metal Kupo Convi Clamp is made from a lightweight alloy that will support loads of up to 44 lbs (20 Kg). It features a hexagonal receiver that accepts dozens of Convi accessories from a simple stud to the versatile Max Arm to mount almost any light fixture, camera or accessory. The receiver features a spring locking safety system to ensure that the Convi accessory won’t separate from the clamp if the locking screw loosens unexpectedly. The Convi Clamp has a jaw that will extend from 0.2 Œï_ 2.0″ (5 Œï_ 51mm) in diameter. It also features a saddle to securely mount it on flat surfaces.

The Kupo Super Viser Clamp With Hex Receiver can mount securely onto round and square objects, or just about any unique shape up to 4″ (11cm) in diameter. The jaw position remains fixed on one side of the clamp, enabling it to be mounted where limited space is available. The specially formulated grip pad provides a strong grip, yet protects the surface it’s clamped around. Another Kupo innovation outfits this clamp with a hexagonal receiver that accepts the full compliment of Convi Clamp accessories. The Super Viser boasts an impressive load capacity of 66.1 lbs (30 Kg) and comes in a silver aluminum finish.

The Kupo Max Arm is an adjustable arm that allows you to position a camera, lighting fixture or accessory in any position. The two 5/8″ (16mm) studs at either end are attached to ball joints that rotate 360 degrees, plus a cut-out in the sleeve surrounding the ball allows the stud to be bent 90 degrees. One stud is tapped to receive a 3/8″-16 thread, while the other is tapped to receive a 1/4″-20 thread.

Kupo Grip Arm Support
Generally when you extend a large accessory such a flag or light fixture laterally past the center column of a C stand, the increased leverage may be too much for the grip head to bear. In the old days you could rectify this situation using another C stand as an additional support, or a combination of clamps, grip heads and grip arms. Today Kupo has developed an innovative solution that rapidly mounts between both the riser section of a Master C Stand with help of either a Kupo 3 or 4 Way Clamp, and to a grip arm with the help of the included Kupo Tiny clamp already mounted on the other side of the Grip Arm Support. The Grip Arm Support has a built in ball joint that rotates 360 degrees for infinite flexibility and extends from 22 Œï_ 30.7″ (56 Œï_ 78cm). With the addition of the Grip Arm Support, the load capacity at the end of your grip arm is greatly increased.

Kupo 40″ Grip Arm With Big Handle
Kupo recently introduced an exciting innovation in grip arm design, the Hex Pin Grip Arm. At the end of their 40″ grip arm, you will find a baby hex pin with six milled flat surfaces. Now you can mount your light fixtures or accessories on the end of your grip arm like a mini boom and they won’t rotate due to the set-screw of that fixture or accessory, locking onto one of the sides of the hex pin.
