video products at the 00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:14.639 link in the video description NAB 2017 is well underway so let's check out our 00:00:12.840 --> 00:00:19.240 top five camera accessories from around the show floor starting us off is 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.800 sennheiser's MK2 elements this is a new microphone Sennheiser has made in 00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:27.560 partnership with GoPro the microphone uses sennheiser's MK2 capsule and uses a 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.920 rubber base to prevent vibrations from affecting sound in all the various 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:35.680 mounting situations you may face the mic is omnidirectional and is designed to 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:40.719 wend extreme cold and the wetest environments you could throw at the Hero 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.680 4 the mic itself is an ipx7 rating and 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:47.120 was recently taken for a spin in various wet environments by lonus in his full 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:51.280 review here Sennheiser is also working on a version of this mic for the Hero 5 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:54.920 that will be coming out soon our second accessory in this Roundup is from spider 00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:59.239 holster newest edition in their lineup of products the spider light now some of 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 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:07.960 a while now the spider light attempts to improve on the black widow's design it 00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.320 Sports an all metal body with a smaller footprint than its predecessor as well 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:15.000 as a new clip system that makes it easier to put on and remove from your 00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:19.520 belt unlike the Black Widow where in order to take it off you have to remove 00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:22.960 your belt entirely spider also includes a new and improved plate for your camera 00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:26.600 that doubles as an ARCA swis plate for tripods that use that standard with the 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.200 added bonus that this plate can also have a different tripod plate added to 00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:34.280 the bottom thanks to its quarter 20 thread spider has also added an optional 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:37.880 accessory that allows use of the spider light on a backpack strap for those who 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:41.840 travel with backpacks often a nice Edition since I constantly find myself 00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:46.360 carrying a backpack when traveling next up is manfrotto's new Nitro fluid head 00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:50.719 manfroto has designed this head with a nitrogen piston in the middle which may 00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:55.159 sound a little weird but it allows for a continuous counterbalance without the 00:01:52.439 --> 00:02:00.280 need to reset the head to neutral tilt unlike on their previous video heads the 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:02.039 nitrotech has a payload of 17.6 pounds 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.360 to accommodate midsize production cameras and both the pan and tilt 00:02:03.880 --> 00:02:09.360 friction adjustments have been improved to be more grippy than previous heads in 00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:13.440 their lineup moving on we have the freecast universal a wireless 00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:17.560 transmitter and receiver system the freecast universal works with any camera 00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:21.680 that has an HDMI out allowing you to stream from your camera to any iOS 00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:26.480 device or monitor that can take an HDMI in when transmitting the freecast 00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.080 universal has a range of 500 M and can be powered via their rechargeable 00:02:27.920 --> 00:02:34.280 batteries or the USB input on each receiver and transmitter audio wise you 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.319 can use audio going directly into your camera or for those who want to use an 00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:42.319 external microphone the freecast universals transmitter Sports a 3.5mm 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.760 audio input allowing a wide variety of mic Solutions currently on the market 00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.360 along with monitoring your camera from multiple devices the freecast can stream 00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:53.879 live directly to different social media platforms currently freecast only offers 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.000 support for YouTube or Facebook but the company says that they'll be adding 00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.400 twitch and Instagram Live support among others when they do the full release of 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:06.000 the freecast universal later this year lastly we have C's new Genie 2 building 00:03:04.239 --> 00:03:10.280 on their existing motion control systems for time-lapse and video production the 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 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.720 is also much quieter than its predecessor the gen2 is also available 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:23.120 in a kit with their new linear drive module which uses a rope system for 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:28.159 controlled horizontal movement on nearly any slider on the market serup has also 00:03:25.519 --> 00:03:32.560 opted for type-c charging on the gen2 these ports also double as a way to 00:03:29.799 --> 00:03:36.480 power cameras like Sony's a7s2 that have less than optimal battery life for time 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.439 lapse the gen2 can be controlled with Cup's existing app for the rest of their 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.280 products or with the hardware buttons on the device for less complicated movement 00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:47.840 with other motion control systems on the market getting more complicated Ser is 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.959 striving to keep usability as streamlined as possible allowing 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.720 creatives to focus on the other challenges of their work instead of 00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:57.640 worrying about gear an approach that I can appreciate so thank you guys for 00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:02.640 watching let me know what your favorite accessory in this
