This year's IBC show was a busy one. We've been posting a few of my blogs from the show floor, but they were certainly not the only product updates worth paying attention to. In this roundup, we'll focus on some of the new camera accessory products from Anton Bauer, ARRI, Boxx, RED, and Wooden Camera. Make sure to check out all the videos.

RED's WEAPON 8K camera, announced at this year's NAB show, has many people excited. RED has always pushed the boundaries of digital cinema, and the WEAPON 8K is another great example of this. The most interesting, and perhaps confusing, aspect of this new camera is the size of its sensor.

AbelCine is now an authorized dealer for RED Digital Cinema, offering the full line of RED cameras, including the newly-announced WEAPON.

You've selected a lens family, but choosing which focal length to use for each shot is an art in itself. A few things to consider when choosing your focal length are: proximity of the camera to the subject, whether the camera is a character in the story or purely observational, and whether you'll be using the lens to control the subject's perspective and their relationship to the background.

Recently, we have seen a lot of great work using the RED and the Gates housing, particularly with the Canon EF mount installed on the EPIC and EPIC DRAGON. This is a powerful combination that takes advantage of the easy-to-use design of the Gates housing and the flexibility of REDRAW files.

It was a busy NAB for our technical specialists with visits to the Panasonic, RED, Arri, Zeiss, Canon, Sony and Freefly booths, to name a few. With so much to cover, we thought we'd round up all our NAB blogs in one place for you.

AbelCine is now an authorized reseller for RED Digital Cinema, so I was excited to check out the brand new, just announced WEAPON at the RED booth.

Whether you're a camera assistant or a rental house equipment manager, you're often expected to know the menu system of various cameras. Even if you had access to every camera on the market, it can be very time consuming to set up a camera just to remind yourself where a specific setting is.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the image a particular camera and lens would produce? Well, if you have your phone on you, there's now an easy way to find out. DIRE Studio has released an app called Mark II Artist's Viewfinder, which has the ability to preview and capture hundreds of camera and lens combinations.
