3D is not dead or dying and it never will be as long as humans have two eyes. Politics and economics have had complex and sometimes negative effects on the 3D films we have seen released in the past few years, but as REDUSERs, let's do something more than just chat about it. Let's get out there and use the best available tools to make the best 3D productions anyone has ever seen.
Many "unbiased" individuals have opinions about what the best 3D rig is, but if we compare feature for feature, no rig on the market today can stack up to the 21st Century 3D BX4.5 for lightweight full featured performance and unmatched value. Without a quarter wave retarder (not recommended but many people do this) the BX4.5 weighs just 11.8lbs. No other rig anywhere near this weight offers 11 axis motorization, use of zooms or primes, use of 4x5.6 drop in or 6x6 rotating filters, fast three point camera alignment and the low cost, high build quality of BX4.5. 22 years of stereoscopic experience and smart engineering eliminate the need for exotic materials and overly complex industrial design.
Every function of the BX4.5 can be motorized, not just IO and convergence. Roll, pitch, yaw and height can all be optionally motorized for maximum control via remote. You can also remove all motors and operate completely manually for maximum weight savings. Even if you are not utilizing steadicam, the ease of use, speed and light weight of the BX4.5 are phenomenal when compared to previous generation rigs. One AC of average strength can easily pick up and move a fully built BX4.5 rig, and that's the way it should be.
The BX4.5 was recently one of the primary rigs on the New York unit of Metallica Through The Never, and although that was shot on AlexaM, BX4.5 was built for RED EPIC and Scarlet.
This YouTube demo shows another example of the BX4.5 flying on steadicam. If you have a 3D TV or any kind of 3D glasses, please use the YouTube 3D player to view
