Hello Guys. It has been a very busy week for me.
So now its time to present the new rigs designed to be fully upgradable to each other with out having to buy a completely new rig.
Get the basic then later upgrade to the next and the next.....

1-The Gangster.
This is just a simple and modular design shoulder mount for all kind of cameras Red One, Epic,Scarlet, F900R , EX3 style camcorders, anything will fit.
Fully adjustable angle for your shoulder, rod system at the back for placing Hard drives and bats if you like for best balance, and a very rigid frame structure , fully adjustable to and taste.Fully upgradable to the next rigs.
Quick release dovetail stage and plate

2-The Godfather(patent pending)
This is a rig on its own class.
Very rigid frame structure.
Active suspension to eliminate vibrations coming from walking running, vehicle vibrations .
3D gimbal design for pan tilt and roll keeping body errors away from your camera together with the suspension unit.
Fully modular frame , you can adjust to place a red one, with the red cradle and bat at the back and red on top front.nO NEED FOR LONG CABLES.
oR split your Epic AND sCARLET IN 2 PARTS, placing sensor and lense up front
and rest hard drive and bats and goods at the back, having a very well balanced rig with a short length.With Red one however is longer.
No additional counter weights needed.
For other cams than red accessories like battery plates and bracket and rods.
Low mode T handle of Hr-1 deluxe can be adapted for low mode hand held.
So for those who dont want the panning camera movement of the HR-1D this is a short yet full of features for your camera. No other shoulder mount can offer what this rig offers , nor be more stable and vibrations free.
Gyro adaptation to 2x ks8 or ks6 at the back for aerial , vehicle , shots even more stable.No easy rig adaptation Iam afraid for this one.
Fullu upgradable to the next rig The Machine

3- The machine (patent pending)

All of the above feature plus a rotational panning system and mechanism for the camera to achieve these impossible 360s and don juan moves, fluid motion and also easy rig accessory for adaptation.
Gyros ADAPTABLE.
THIS is a very different shoulder mount than anything else on the market today, following the steps of the HR-1D technics and utilities, with the most stable hheld platform fully upgradable to the future Acrobat

4-The Acrobat.(patent pending) This is not yet to be released, but to get a picture it has all of the above feature plus a sensor and servo system roll head that compansates for horizon errors no matter the camera pan angle is.
The ultimate and most stable shoulder platform ever made with intelligence added, and a minor learning curve

All mounts have the best point of lcd view for your reds ahead and fully adjustable.

The Godfather and Machine work together with an included chest vest that lock the shoulder pad with out movment.
All you do is take the rig on and of and keep the shoulder pad and little vest on you.
Same for the future Acrobat

That was a quick review of the new systems and I will uploaded some short
3d animations for each one to view on my website shortly.
More renders to come in the next couple of days.

Book now for any of these until end of December and get 10% off.
4-6 week delivering time from order.

Any questions or comments please do.

I have to ruch, I m becoming a running rig my self :driving:

Thank you all for your support making me deliver more innovative products.
Best :thumbup1:
 
So the Godfather is ready to mount two KS8s, with some kind of add-on? Can we see a render of the Godfather with KS8s on it?

What is the panning function on THE MACHINE useful for?
 
Hello Tom. With the panning Action on the Machine you can do some really nice 360 s around your subject and follow subjects from the side as well either left or right.
It works same way as the HR-1D , plus active elastic suspension, chest vest for shoulder pad, for stability, and 3 d gimbal.
The ks8s mount same way as previous design of the Machine, its just 2 brackets with the right tapping for KS8S, That slide on rod configurations.
Soon I ll make some images .
Very good vibration isolation.
thanks
 
Yes I had to modify all my rigs to be upgradable to one another so one has only to buy one of these rigs once then get the upgrade parts and upgrade to the next rigs with out buying a completely different rig.This way you have the choice of choosing whats best for you or suits you best for your style of shooting.Hope people see how modular and good this is. Same way red is going for their new cameras.Upgradable and modular.Thanks:thumbup1:
 
Here they are.

the gangster, the godfather and the machine, the acrobat coming in 2010..
