If you've paid a visit to our NY or LA showrooms recently, you may have noticed the newly expanded audio sections. We created these displays so that our clients could go hands-on with a variety of microphones, mixers, and other audio equipment before deciding what fits their project best.

It has been designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring a small profile and form factor that lends itself to vérité-style shooting.

The IB/E Universal Mount System (UMS) for Canon Cinema Zooms makes it easy for users to quickly switch between various lens mounts in the field.

The ALEXA XT has the same size sensor as previous models, but with its increased processing power, it can now record the full sensor area all at once.
