Recently, AbelCine hosted back-to-back Tiffen Steadicam workshops here in our Brooklyn office, and we noticed students were really cozying up to the Sony VENICE. They enjoyed taking this particular payload for a test drive on their Steadicam rigs, getting in some trigger time “flying” Sony’s flagship digital cinema camera.

I visited the Tiffen booth to speak with Robin Thwaites, International Director of Sales, about two new products that had their first showing at IBC: the Pilot 2 and the SteadiMate.

I was able to stop by the Tiffen / Steadicam booth at NAB 2013, and one of the standout products was the new Steadicam Solo.
