At Cine Gear 2014, Switronix showed the updated version of their popular Jetpack breakout box - the Jetpack X.

At our pre-Cine Gear Zacuto demo in LA, product designers Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn debuted their new Control Grip and Z-Motor. It was the first time they had appeared outside of the lab, and at Cine Gear Expo, I visited the Zacuto booth to get an even more detailed walkthrough from Steve.

Howard Preston invented the original Light Ranger, an automatic laser focus system, back in the early '90s and at this year's Cine Gear Expo, his company, Preston Cinema Systems, debuted the Light Ranger 2.

During our Abel Cine Gear Week event highlighting camera movement and wireless systems, Redrock Micro showed off their powerPack Universal mounted to a Freefly Systems MōVI. When I stopped by their booth at this year's Cine Gear Expo, Loren Simons was nice enough to give me an even closer look at the whole setup and explain exactly what makes this little box so unique.
