Today I stopped by the Freefly booth to talk to Nick Hegge, Director of Marketing for Freefly, about the new Freefly MIMIC. The MIMIC is an intuitive remote camera controller that allows you to intuitively communicate with the MōVI and control the camera with just your fingertips.

Today Ian and I spoke to Pierre Davezac, President and Founder of Exhauss, about the new Exhauss Exoskeleton, a gimbal support system designed to help take the weight off the operator and redistribute it over the core section of their body.

AbelCine is excited to be Gates Underwater's first Proud Partner Dealership, meaning we are authorized to offer sales and rental of Gates Underwater equipment to our clients. In this blog, I want to introduce the basics of Gates housings and the factors involved in underwater photography.

Last month we celebrated our 25th anniversary as a company with a party at our LA location. Over 400 people attended the event, which included raffles, a silent auction, a Phantom Photo Booth, lunch and a bar, as well as a number of panel discussions on different topics, from technology to craft.

Freefly Systems revealed some big news today: they've dropped prices on their popular MōVI M5 and M10 stabilizers, and released pricing info on the new M15. Freefly has definitely experienced some rapid growth during the last few years, and they've taken advantage of improved efficiency in their manufacturing process to pass these savings to the customers.

Recently, Gates Underwater made an exciting announcement and revealed their new ALEXA underwater housing. As with their other housings, this unit features simple fingertip controls, an adjustable trim weight system, Gates Precision Ports, and adjustable handle grips.

Gates Underwater has recently introduced the TVL55 LCD External Monitor Housing, specifically designed for the TVLogic VFM-058W LCD Field Monitor. This feature-rich unit includes full menu control, three assignable buttons, and a marine-grade water blocking cable.

With their impressive line of MōVI accessories, Freefly Systems continues to innovate and add new dimensions to their MōVI system. In the video, I get a closer look at several of these new accessories, including the new MōVI M10 Tool-less Pan Knuckle, which makes the pan balance process easier and faster by allowing M10 operators to balance their unit with simple toggle clamps.

Earlier this year, Freefly Systems showed off a prototype of their MōVI Controller, a custom-built wireless remote that incorporates pan & tilt control, as well as lens control.
