16 MM & 35 MM & VIDEO KAMERALAR
Steadicam Clipper 24
The Steadicam Clipper 24 Camera Stabilizing System is a premium, complete system for today's 35mm film and Video Production.
The CLIPPER 24 is a third generation Clipper and hosts a range of innovative features, including the revolutionary G-50 Arm; new lightweight tilting "open architecture" stage design; state-of-the-art, ergonomic vest; as well as a newly designed camera mounting stage.
The result of years of research and testing by Garrett Brown, the G-50 is a lightweight, stiff, well-behaved, cost-effective arm with a great vertical travel and lifting range.
In addition to Steadicam’s proprietary no-tools adjustment of lift, the G-50 introduces two mind-bending new features — ‘Ride’ (knob-adjustable Iso-elasticity); and ‘Geo’, (an active tie-rod geometry that automatically extends the performance curve), so its sweet spot is its entire vertical range!
Also new to the Clipper 24, is its new LX vest, which has been designed for increased operator control and comfort. Constructed of ‘dynamite’ weather resistant black nylon, it features an integrated lower back support pad for increased comfort, improved front waist support for a ‘flex-free’ vest to arm interface; buckle indexing mechanism for quick, positive latching or unlatching; vertically adjustable wide stance chest plate with stiffer central spar and two-position chest buckles to fit varying body sizes.
Other critical improvements to the new vest include: ‘sound stage friendly’ anti-squeak buckle design with rubber bumpers and new, ‘no-pinch’ chest strap grips. All work together to complement the capabilities of the G-50 arm.
The Clipper 24 is also equipped with an innovative new camera mounting system. Rock solid with a unique mid-rib, the mount has the widest possible bearings for maximum stability and easy, low frictional adjustments. Operators can use long lenses with a high degree of confidence while the ‘open-access’ design allows for on-location adjustments.
Operators will also find the Steadicam CLIPPER 24 monitor mount to be extremely rigid, with an impressive horizontal extension range on a three section extending carbon fibre post assembly as standard. The mount offers the most control of pan inertia ever and allows the operator to be only seconds away from a slow (or wind-resistant) sled to a super–quick panning rig.
Video and film professionals will also have available to them in addition to a base 7” 700 nits composite monitor that is supplied with the Clipper 24, two optional high definition LCD monitors. The 7” HD/SDI/Composite HD Lite monitor or Tiffen’s award winning HD UltraBrite™ 8.4” monitor.
When equipped with the HD UltraBrite™ Color 8.4” LCD monitor, the CLIPPER 24 is capable of displaying virtually all component high definition and standard composite NTSC/PAL/SECAM signals, eliminating the need for separate monitors. All of the monitors feature the latest in color LCD technology, with the weight and location of the monitor assuring the operator of perfect balance and consistent ease of operation. And the monitors pivot on their centers of gravity, so dynamic balance is maintained when tilting the monitor, or when flipping from high mode to low mode.
With its slimline Sled, the CLIPPER 24 is designed for precise handling, first and foremost. The narrow Sled width with rod mounted monitor and battery assure optimum operational freedom. This sleek sled design allows it to be kept closer to the operator’s body. This result is less fatigue and maneuverability through tighter spaces. Power has been upgraded to a new 24 volt capability via switch selectable 12/24 Volts for use with most cameras including lightweight 35mm motion picture cameras. New positive locking post clamps prevents snagging, so that nothing sticks to you or the cable.
The Steadicam/IDX Power Cube™ is the most advanced available. The two-battery 29.6-volt system easily handles 10 amps continuously, and up to 24 amps for short periods of time. Each battery is rated at 6000mAh – they can handle most cameras’ power requirements. The battery can be rotated horizontally or below the rods to balance heavy cameras or to control the sled’s inertia.
The Clipper 24 utilizing proven sled technology from the Ultra and now coupled with these new innovative arm, vest and new lightweight tilting open architecture stage designs presents a rig designed for the high end video and film professional. This new rig will be equally at home on a network soap, live event demanding rugged performance or a feature film.
