Overview
Join us for our monthly event series in LA: AbelCine's Gear & Schmear!
These morning mixers take place every month, and focus on the latest technology as well as the craft of filmmaking, brought together over breakfast bagels, various schmears, and coffee. This is a great opportunity to meet up with your fellow creatives and experience emerging technology in a fun, unstructured setting.
Our next Gear & Schmear is happening on Thursday, March 21 and will focus on the Sony VENICE as well as the exciting updates that have recently been announced, from fimware v3.0 and the VENICE Extension System to the announcement of version 4.0 with HFR (high frame rate) license, and more. AbelCine and Sony specialists will be available to answer any questions as well. We can't wait to see you, so be sure to RSVP today!

This Week's Technology Focus
Sony VENICE
The new flagship of Sony's CineAlta family, the Sony VENICE CineAlta 6K Digital Cinema Camera (6K with 6048x4032*), offers an interchangeable PL or E-Mount, built-in filters in 8-stages, 15 stops of exposure latitude, a wide color gamut and improved color management system. VENICE's compact form factor suits gimbal, aerial, handheld, and studio setups. The Sony VENICE also boasts a 24.7MP Full Frame CMOS sensor with a maximum resolution of 6048 x 4032*. (*NOTE: Firmware upgrade required for 6K.)
Sony Sensor Extension System
Sony's Sensor Extension System for VENICE is a lightweight and easy-to-use tethered extension system that allows the camera body to detach from the image sensor block with no degradation in image quality. The cable system can extend from 9' to 18' (with an included extension cable which enables the VENICE to become highly mobile and discreet for many mounting configurations and filming scenarios, including use with gimbals, handheld stabilizers, underwater & helicopter housings, 3D/VR rigs, and tight or unconventional spaces (such as inside vehicles, on cranes or Russian arms).
