Amphibico to design an underwater housing for RED Scarlet X and Epic:
That future includes new cameras from RED, the Digital Cinema Camera Company that revolutionized the world in digital cinema, when it introduced the highly successful RED One 4K camera. RED recently announced the Scarlet-X, smaller brother to the EPIC, cameras that have the innate ability to capture 5K RAW still and 4K motion resolution. With a price tag below the $12,000 mark, SCARLET, no doubt, will be extremely popular while the EPIC will become the flagship system for working professionals in the feature film and documentary filmmaking industries.
The excellent timing of these introductions made our following decision an easy one:
Since Amphibico has received many requests to develop the ultimate housing for this next generation of digital cinema cameras, our engineering team is committing all of its resources, including seeking the expert advice of key professional underwater cinematographers in the industry, to execute and accomplish this project. The combined company is now a global leader in the design, development and service of equipment for the professional and recreational videographer, filmmaker and still photographer, leading the way into the future with our new products.
Okii Systems Releases New MC1 USB Mini Controller
Apex, NC, November 21, 2011 – Okii Systems is pleased to announce the new MC1 USB Mini Controller. The MC1 is a wired USB remote designed for Canon EOS Digital SLR cameras with video capability. Similar to the EOS Utility on a computer, the MC1 uses Canon's USB protocol to allow control of a wide range of abilities, but without the limitations and bulk of being tethered to a computer. When mounted near a rig handle, it provides easy access to camera functions such as video start/stop, digital zoom, and settings changes. The use of USB rather than infrared insures reliable operation regardless of the remote or cable orientation, and makes it possible to use the MC1 at longer distances (e.g., on a crane or boom) with non-powered USB extension cables. An optional automatic recording restart feature is included, which can stop and restart video recording at 11-minute intervals for long film sequences, or can act as a fail safe.
The MC1 is approximately 3" x 1.5" x .75" and weighs 3.4 ounces. It connects to the camera with a standard mini-B to A USB cable (the same cable used to connect a Canon EOS camera to a computer). Three 1/4"-20 mounting points on the top and sides are provided to secure the MC1 to a rig or handle.
