    • Sony Unveils HDC-4300 World’s First 4K System Camera with Three 4K Image Sensors

      Press release from #NABShow by blog.Sony.com Las Vegas, April 12, 2015 – Sony’s next generation of HDC series camera technology provides the ability to use the high magnification wide zoom range lenses currently employed by HD 2/3-inch systems while maintaining an adequate depth of field to properly show all of the action in live event broadcasting. The new HDC-4300 is the world’s first camera to use three 2/3-inch 4K image sensors¹. It supports the same B4-mount lenses as well as the same control surfaces as Sony’s industry leading HDC-2000 series cameras. The existing HDLA-1500 series, control and shading systems, viewfinders and master set-up units are all interchangeable between the HD and 4K systems. Directors and operators can keep their approach to live events — including camera angles, zoom ranges and iris settings – while using familiar camera technology. “This camera provides 4K capabilities and a workflow that content producers are instantly familiar and comfortable with,” said Rob Willox, marketing manager for content creation systems, Sony’s Professional Solutions Americas. “We’ve developed an approach that allows the large existing HDC series user base to employ 4K advantages such as 8x high frame rate and 4K cut-out and zoom while using a familiar infrastructure and signal path.” The new HDC-4300 is capable of 4K/HD operation, with 2x, 3x Super Slow Motion as standard, and higher speeds up to 8x available, to produce high-quality replays and specialty program effects. The camera uses ultra-high-precision alignment technology to realize three 4K sensor on a new prism. This allows the support of the next-generation ITU-R BT.2020 broadcast standard’s widened color space for future-proof masters or post production options for today’s productions, shown on tomorrow’s 4K services. Direct attachment of B4 HD lensesStandard large-format B4-mount lenses mount directly onto the HDC‑4300. This gives broadcasters the flexibility needed for live sports broadcasts: 4K capabilities while maintaining their customary HD-lens operating styles. SZC-4001 SoftwareSony’s SZC-4001 software package (sold separately) allows broadcasters to take advantage of 4K capabilities. Super Slow Motion (up to 8x) at HD ResolutionThe SZC-4002 software package (sold separately) enables the system to shoot full HD (1920 x 1080) at frame rates up to 479.52/400 fps, as well as 59.94/50, 119.88/100, and 179.82/150 fps. Users can save these high-frame-rate shots to Sony’s PWS-4400 multiport 4K/HD Live Server. HD/4K Live Production for Sports  The HDC-4300 accepts the same configurations as existing 4K live systems. A BPU-4000 baseband processor unit receives the camera signals via SMPTE fiber and connects to an HDCU-2000 or 2500 camera control unit. This provides power and full intercom, tally, and return capabilities.Users can seamlessly blend an HDC-4300-based system with existing HDC Series camera systems. The HD signals from the HDC Series cameras and from the new camera system can be adjusted to match colorimetry. The addition of other 4K products, such as the PWS-4400 multi-port 4K/HD Live server, a multi-format switcher capable of real-time 4K signal processing based on the MVS-8000X, and Sony’s new BVM-X300 4K OLED or PMW-X300 4K LCD monitors create an end-to-end 4K live production solution. HDC-4300 – additional features:• HD cut-outs – two full HD images to be cut out from the 4K picture in real-time including a selectable zoom and perspective mode.• Many of the Picture adjustment functions of HDC Series cameras are supported by the HDC-4300 system• Dynamic focus (4K focus-assist function) – a focus point can be displayed on the viewfinder with a marker in 4K mode for easy focusing.• Auto lens aberration compensation 2 (ALAC2) function• Color reproduction adjustment functions• Gamma table selection• User gamma function• Natural skin-tone detail function• Knee saturation function• Low-key saturation function The HDC-4300 4K/HD live camera system is planned to be available in summer of 2015.

Indi Jibs & Indi Sliders- Example Video

Indi Jibs & Indi Sliders

We are excited to start carrying a cost effective solution for your jibs and slider requests!
introducing the IndiSLIDER Mini, IndiSLIDER Pro, & Indi Go-Jib.


IndiSLIDER Mini-


24" of compact, light-weight, fast set-up sliding. Everything that is needed to make 'those' shots you've seen on other peoples' work is available.
With the new indiMOUNT on the glide carriage, no fluid head is needed. Attach the camera to the mounting puck and attach into the holder. This also allows for the camera to be rotated and locked for fixed position shots, or used as a panning device.
Attach to a tripod quick release plate, or directly to the tripod flat base. Either option works.
The light weight of the indiSLIDERmini allows it to be used directly on a fluid head. This allows a quick release plate to be utilized, and also the creativity that mounting the indiSLIDERmini to an infinitely adjustable fluid head brings.
It includes table legs so that the mini can be placed directly on a hard surface and used without a tripod. Imagine the possibilities for close up and close quarter shots.

IndiSlider Pro 36" 


Built using industrial technology, the indiSLIDERpro has a weight load of over a TON! Yes, that's correct, unlike competitor's dual stainless steel rod system, the indiSLIDERpro will not bend or flex. This allows much higher weight loads...all the time gliding with ease.
• 36" slider.
• Carriage brake.
• Adjustable tension glide blocks.

indiGO-JIB w/ Water Containers 


An establishing jib shot. We've seen countless movies open with them. We see them in almost every commercial. And they are always eye-catching.

However, jibs are bulky, they're heavy, unwieldy and expensive. Transporting them gets dodgy, let alone the time it takes to set them up.

A jib that would fold down to 42", support up to ten pounds of camera and accessories, have an over 8' height reach, and cost under $400?

Folds up to about the size of your tripod. Mounts onto a standard fluid head (example 501 or 503 head) for smooth pans. Has a unique patent pending weight adjustment bar; no more trying to get that elusive exact weight. Slide to balance.  Has the 4 liter water containers. No more schlepping steel plate weights to a shoot. Attach the containers, fill with water or sand—even gravel/dirt—then easily empty when finished shooting. Transport with empty containers.
