around the show floor starting us off is 5 00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:22,800 sennheiser's MK2 elements this is a new microphone Sennheiser has made in 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,560 partnership with GoPro the microphone uses sennheiser's MK2 capsule and uses a 7 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:31,920 rubber base to prevent vibrations from affecting sound in all the various 8 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:35,680 mounting situations you may face the mic is omnidirectional and is designed to 9 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:40,719 wend extreme cold and the wetest environments you could throw at the Hero 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,680 4 the mic itself is an ipx7 rating and 11 00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:47,120 was recently taken for a spin in various wet environments by lonus in his full 12 00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:51,280 review here Sennheiser is also working on a version of this mic for the Hero 5 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:54,920 that will be coming out soon our second accessory in this Roundup is from spider 14 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:59,239 holster newest edition in their lineup of products the spider light now some of 15 00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:04,000 you may know that I've been using spider holsters black Widow to carry my xt2 for 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:07,960 a while now the spider light attempts to improve on the black widow's design it 17 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,320 Sports an all metal body with a smaller footprint than its predecessor as well 18 00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:15,000 as a new clip system that makes it easier to put on and remove from your 19 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:19,520 belt unlike the Black Widow where in order to take it off you have to remove 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:22,960 your belt entirely spider also includes a new and improved plate for your camera 21 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,600 that doubles as an ARCA swis plate for tripods that use that standard with the 22 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,200 added bonus that this plate can also have a different tripod plate added to 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,280 the bottom thanks to its quarter 20 thread spider has also added an optional 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,880 accessory that allows use of the spider light on a backpack strap for those who 25 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:41,840 travel with backpacks often a nice Edition since I constantly find myself 26 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:46,360 carrying a backpack when traveling next up is manfrotto's new Nitro fluid head 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:50,719 manfroto has designed this head with a nitrogen piston in the middle which may 28 00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:55,159 sound a little weird but it allows for a continuous counterbalance without the 29 00:01:52,439 --> 00:02:00,280 need to reset the head to neutral tilt unlike on their previous video heads the 30 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:02,039 nitrotech has a payload of 17.6 pounds 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,360 to accommodate midsize production cameras and both the pan and tilt 32 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:09,360 friction adjustments have been improved to be more grippy than previous heads in 33 00:02:07,479 --> 00:02:13,440 their lineup moving on we have the freecast universal a wireless 34 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,560 transmitter and receiver system the freecast universal works with any camera 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,680 that has an HDMI out allowing you to stream from your camera to any iOS 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:26,480 device or monitor that can take an HDMI in when transmitting the freecast 37 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:30,080 universal has a range of 500 M and can be powered via their rechargeable 38 00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:34,280 batteries or the USB input on each receiver and transmitter audio wise you 39 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,319 can use audio going directly into your camera or for those who want to use an 40 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:42,319 external microphone the freecast universals transmitter Sports a 3.5mm 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,760 audio input allowing a wide variety of mic Solutions currently on the market 42 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,360 along with monitoring your camera from multiple devices the freecast can stream 43 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,879 live directly to different social media platforms currently freecast only offers 44 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:57,000 support for YouTube or Facebook but the company says that they'll be adding 45 00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,400 twitch and Instagram Live support among others when they do the full release of 46 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:06,000 the freecast universal later this year lastly we have C's new Genie 2 building 47 00:03:04,239 --> 00:03:10,280 on their existing motion control systems for time-lapse and video production the 48 00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:14,920 gen2 adds a new pan and tilt head that supports a heavier payload of 5 kg and 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,720 is also much quieter than its predecessor the gen2 is also available 50 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,120 in a kit with their new linear drive module which uses a rope system for 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,159 controlled horizontal movement on nearly any slider on the market serup has also 52 00:03:25,519 --> 00:03:32,560 opted for type-c charging on the gen2 these ports also double as a way to 53 00:03:29,799 --> 00:03:36,480 power cameras like Sony's a7s2 that have less than optimal battery life for time 54 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,439 lapse the gen2 can be controlled with Cup's existing app for the rest of their 55 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:44,280 products or with the hardware buttons on the device for less complicated movement 56 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,840 with other motion control systems on the market getting more complicated Ser is 57 00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:50,959 striving to keep usability as streamlined as possible allowing 58 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:54,720 creatives to focus on the other challenges of their work instead of 59 00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:57,640 worrying about gear
