About
An interview from the 2016 Cine Gear Expo at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles with Brian Valente of Redrock Micro. Redrock Micro designs and sells a line of high quality cinema accessories for independent filmmakers, film educators and students, and budget-conscious moviemakers. In this interview Brian talks with us about their EclipseNet Modular FIZ Control System, which consists of an Atlas Smart Motor, Navigator Command Module, Halo Explorer Rangefinder, and Orbit Monitor Positioning System & Sensor.
The system has hand controls for focus/iris/zoom, run/stop, gimbal tilt/pan control, laser guided focus tracking, and a smart tilt control for your monitor. While the system can be utilized on any camera system on a tripod, it is definitely going to be a game changer for any three axis gimbal system like the DJI Ronin or Freely Movi.
The new Atlas motor integrates capabilities of the microRemote basestation and motor into a single housing for the smallest and lightest complete system available today. Atlas added built-in support for RF, WiFi, and s.bus makes the Atlas motor completely flexible, and able to work with a wide range of controllers. The included mobile app also gives you additional control options and visual configuration of the motor settings. Beautiful lighting accents also provide status such as tally light for recording and lens calibration status. In the future additional motors can be daisy-chained to add channels such as iris and zoom.
Halo Solo is creative focus conrol for solo operators. Gimbal or Steadicam operators can concentrate on framing and movement while subject focus is automatically handled.
Unlike simplistic autofocus, Halo Solo is uniquely designed for motion. Enjoy complete control over how subjects are tracked: smoothing and ramping is added for an organic look, and you can use as much or as little automation as you want. Have focus handled for you while you focus on framing and operating, and the result is stunning cinematic footage with the crew you already have. With the addition of Halo Explorer and a microRemote adapter cable, this kit allows you to add these amazing features to your microRemote System.
The Navigator command module is the perfect answer. The compact controller attaches to your handgrip and enables you to control everything on your rig, 7-in-1 controller includes lens controls for focus, iris and zoom, camera run/stop, Halo control, Orbit control, and gimbal pan/tilt.
The Navigator grip is also perfect on other handheld rigs, and even has built-in support for drones.
The Navigator Command Module is equally effective when working with a larger crew, taking on as many or as few tasks as you need.
Let the AC handle the wireless lens focus while you concentrate on operating. And because it’s incredibly compact and profoundly affordable, Navigator won’t break the bank or your arms.
The Redrock Atlas Fingerwheel Bundle is a perfect solution for controlling focus for a single operator. The Atlas motor attaches to your rig and fits to your geared lens. The Navigator Command Module attaches to your handgrip or other part of your rig for smooth controlled focus pulls.
If you are a gimbal operator and want to get maximum range of motion while still viewing the monitor for accurate framing, Orbit MPS is for you. Orbit MPS is the world’s first monitor gimbal that ensures your monitor is always facing you. The unique “follow me” feature automatically tilts your monitor in real-time based on the height of your rig.
The Orbit’s integrated high torque motors work with virtually all compact monitors. You can choose to manually adjust the motor position or use the unique “follow me” accessory to have the monitor position automatically tilt based on the height of your rig.
The retroFlex-S is a great way to shoot handheld, street, or event footage with your Sony alpha mirrorless camera. The retroFlex-S includes a form-fitting camera cage, a professional handgrip with integrated start/stop button, and a huge bright viewfinder for comfortable shooting even in mid-day sun. It's more than just one rig: the viewfinder and handgrip are easily removed, and the cage can be used standalone for more sophisticated rigs.The retroFlex-S is compatible with Sony NEX-3, A5000, and A5100.
