SONY F3 is here!

yes folks, its here and its a beauty. WOW,wow,wow...oh my goodness. Straight out of the box and its working like a dream.Our CP.2's were away today so I threw on our Nikon Cine primes(yes we have a F3 Nikon mount)and liked what I saw. Will get out and test it this week..bookings are coming in for it so be in quick if you want to have the new game changer on your next shoot.
Here it is with Nikon Cine primes, Redrock/Arri 4 stage prod matte box and Cineroid EVF viewfinder. Mmm, very nice.

Cineroid EVF 4L

Perfect for HDSLR and our VERY soon to arrive SONY F3, or any other camera with no real viewfinder, Loop through HDMI output, focus assist, peaking and more. Available to hire @ $75 p.day or buy @ $1299. In Stock now!!

Cine Slider

If you want to Slide..check out this great budget option...yep we got this 3' Westside slider to suit those on indie budgets...easy as to use, smooth slides, amazing what a 3' camera move can do..really suited to HD-dslr and light weight hd cameras..and being only 3' its easily transportable, quick set up and only one tripod required.(supplied with the kit).
Up your production value NOW for
only $115 p.day + gst to hire.

a quick slide test..nothing hugely technical..just an example of a shot that took about 30" to set up.It shows you the effect a 3" slide can have.Check out the clip below.

Our HD-DSLR rigs just keep on evolving .....this is our latest set up. Full Prod mode. Focus Pullers delight...the operator has a true EVF ( viewfinder) and the focus puller can monitor on the DP-6, AND your client/director can also watch on another monitor via the built in/ on board HDMI-> SDI convertor. Soooo everyone gets to watch. :-) Cool eh!

and check out our Redrock/Arri production matte box...Arri bellows/114mm donut and + 3 stage 4x5.65 filter trays. Add to it our 5.65x5.65 tray, our Schneider ND grads, Tiffen ND's and Schneider Tru-pol 138m round polarizer. Giving you 4 x filter stages.
The Arri donut fits snugly and perfectly onto our Zeiss Compact Primes. If you haven't experienced the CP.2's on a 7D or 5D you have not experienced the best images you can get from these cameras.

....of course if you want to go low profile doco style we have rigs for you also and every option in between.....
