MK-V AR
The MK-V AR or Auto-Leveling Revolution is a body supported camera stabilization system designed and engineered by Howard J Smith of MK-V. The core of the advancement of the Steadicam is the circular ring mechanism which makes it possible to move the camera freely on the optical axis, allowing the image to stay level. A Steadicam operator can change from low to high mode without any alteration. The system allow the Steadicam operator to achieve shots similar to a jib crane with long vertical moves, while keeping the freedom of mobility of a Steadicam system. The system combines three techniques: * The rig is based on Steadicam and operated by the same operators. The operator can walk, run, climb and can load all cameras which are suitable for a Steadicam. *The operator can make lifts from the ground up to 2.5 meters in one take, fly the camera over obstacles and through car windows, and film with a major offset to the walking route. *The operator can use a Segway The Segway is ...

Steadicam
Steadicam is a brand of camera stabilizer mounts for Movie camera, motion picture cameras invented by Garrett Brown and introduced in 1975 by Cinema Products Corporation. It was designed to isolate the camera from the camera operator's movement, keeping the camera motion separate and controllable by a skilled operator. History Before the camera stabilizing system, a director had a number of choices for moving (or "Tracking shot, tracking") shots: # The camera could be mounted on a camera dolly, dolly, a wheeled mount that rolls on specialized tracks or a smooth surface. # The camera could be mounted on a Crane shot, crane, a counterweighted arm that could move the camera vertically and horizontally. # The camera operator shoot Hand-held camera, hand-held which would produce footage suitable mostly for documentaries, news, reportage, live action, unrehearsed footage, or the evocation of authentic immediacy or ''cinéma vérité'' during dramatic sequences. While these cinemati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Segway PT
The Segway is a two-wheeled, self-balancing personal transporter invented by Dean Kamen and brought to market in 2001 as the Segway HT, subsequently as the Segway PT, and manufactured by Segway Inc. ''HT'' is an initialism for "human transporter" and ''PT'' for "personal transporter." Ninebot, a Beijing-based transportation robotics startup rival, acquired Segway Inc. in April 2015, broadened the company to include other transportation devices, and announced in June 2020 it would no longer make a two-wheeled, self-balancing product. History Independent company The Segway PT, referred to during development and initial marketing as the Segway HT, was developed from the self-balancing iBOT wheelchair which was initially developed at University of Plymouth, in conjunction with BAE Systems and Sumitomo Precision Products. Segway's first patent was filed in 1994 and granted in 1997, followed by others, including one submitted in June 1999 and granted in October 2001. Prior to i ...
