Hoping timelapse friendly camera settings make their way into Epic/Scarlet for this...
 
Was all set to order the Oracle system to go w/ my newly ordered Epic when I found out from a blog that this was in the pipeline. It's going to cost, but MAN this looks like some exciting gear. I hope Eric can stay in the ballpark on dates of release, etc. I already own the excellent Kessler Crane and want to use the Shuttle Pod to double it as a robust dolly/slider. I assume since the Shuttle Pod is belt-driven that it will also interface with the new motors that are part of the Fusion system.

Yes, the Shuttle Pod will be able to be motorized with Fusion, as well. Basically any of our sliders that can be motorized with the ORACLE / elektraDRIVE system now, will be able to be motorized with Fusion. Thanks. -Chris
 
Quick question Chris. I'm super excited about this new system as are many others. I was about to purchase a 5ft cineslider when i found out about Fusion. Are you guys releasing any new sliders with this new system, I'd hate to buy one now and then learn of an updated cineslider right around the corner. Please advise, thanks!
 
Sorry Jake, we've been working on getting everything out for NAB. No current plans to make an significant changes to the CineSlider, other than possible cosmetic tweaks in the future, as we do with a lot of our products as we go along.

We will be debuting our new Shuttle Pod Mini at NAB. That would be the only slider type announcement that we have planned right now.
 
Man thanks for the reply, will be buying soon… I have seen NO competition at this price point and feature level, this could be the big one for you guys!

Will the Mini also be built to work on the scaffolding of the Kessler Crane? What will be the differences to the "normal" shuttle pod? Weight limits?
 
No, it will not utilize the crane rail, it will have it's own 3/4" square rail sections. Functionality will basically be the same, in regards to the same camera / head mounting options and will be able to be motorized using the current elektraDRIVE system or Fusion. Specs and more details will be coming very soon.
 
Any news on release date? I need this thing now!
 
OK, I don't think this warrants a new thread so I am going to tack this on here. Has anyone had the opportunity to try a stripped down Scarlet/Epic rig with the Kessler Shuttle Pod Mini? I am thinking of purchasing one as it would be more versatile than a slider and yet is still pretty compact. I would probably also get the Oracle kit to motorize it. Thoughts?
