We added two new products to the Blitz line of wireless video systems: the BZ400-PRO and the BZ1000-PRO. The system features reliable uncompressed and zero delay video transmission at an affordable price.
NiSi Circular Polarizers for Matte Boxes
We introduced a new NiSi Circular Polarizer for matte box trays at NAB this year. The polarizers come in two sizes: the NIC-4565-CPL (4 x 5.65 inches) and the NIC-66-CPL (6.6 x 6.6 inches). Made out of high quality optical glass and Nitto polarizing film, the NiSi Circular Polarizer can effectively prevent reflections on the surface from non-metallic or polarized light.
PD Movie Remote Live 2
We unveiled the new PD Movie Remote Live 2 which helps professionals gain control of their lens’ focus, iris, and zoom. It’s perfect for camera operators who like to pull their own focus. The Remote Live 2 is available in a single (PDL-F), dual (PDL-FZ), or three channel control kit (PDL-3CH-FIZ).
Remote Air Pro
We updated the Remote Air Pro with a new design and updated app. With a sleek new design, the hand controller includes a focus knob and pressure zoom switch. The Remote Air Pro system was also designed for 3D and VR shooting. It has the ability to operate up to 6 channels for 3D shooting and gives you the ability to assign multiple motors to one channel for VR. The Remote Air Pro is available has a single motor kit (PD3-S1), two motor kit (PD3-S2), and three motor kit (PD3-S3).
Gimbals
We showed off our latest gimbals including the EC1 and MS-PRO. The EC1 can hold DSLR and mirrorless cameras between 2.0 to 4.5 lbs while the MS-PRO works with mirrorless cameras up to 1.9 lbs (900 grams). The gimbals are great for capturing stable professional video content. In addition, the gimbals can be added to a monopod or dual handle grip (DGH) for better shooting. We’re also currently developing a Bluetooth remote to work with the gimbals.
Winners
Besides new products, we also had a spin-to-win wheel and daily giveaways worth over $20,000. It was great to see everyone whether we were meeting them for the first time or the hundredth time. Thanks for stopping by the Ikan NAB booth! We’ll see you next year in Vegas!
