thanks to saniser and Kingston for powering our NAB coverage this year
check them both out at the links in the video description it's not often that a
camera support company really grabs my attention from the rest in the same way
etone has this year at NAB so let's take
a look at what they had to offer starting off with their product that
caught my eye the most the ome jib plus add-on to small camera cranes now you
might be thinking Brandon jibs are difficult and complicated to set up and
use especially for someone just starting out and while I typically agree with
this point the jib plus aims to make operating a jib exceptionally easy the
system is made up of three main components the controller the sensor
module and the twox camera head with an integrated Focus motor edone designed
this system for basically anyone to just pick up and start shooting essentially
what you do is to First manually aim the camera at your subject and set your
first Target point then you move the entire jib ARM to a drastically
different location and manually aim the camera at your subject again and set
your second target Point once you have those two points set it can then figure
out the entire 3D space around your subject allowing you to move the jib
wherever you'd like while the head automatically adjusts pan tilt and focus
to perfectly hold your subject position in the frame if the focus is not correct you
can manually adjust it using the controller allowing the unit to learn
the necessary Focus points and pull Focus for you throughout your move
freeing you from the daunting task of both operating the jib and automatically
pulling Focus simultaneously to be clear
this is not using any form of in camera autofocus the camera is set to manual
focus leaving all the focus pulling to the jibs two AIS head moving on to
edon's New Stand plus which is a friction-based camera stand that allows
you to easily set your camera at various Heights quickly the system is not made
to make pans or tilts but to very quickly get static or overhead shots of
your subject with ease I see the stand plus being very useful for product shots
like demonstrating Fe Fe of a smartphone or for getting wide static landscape
shots with the flexibility to get different perspectives without fiddling
with tripod legs you are able to adjust the friction of each joint to fit your
needs for both the amount of force you want to put on and the camera's weight
the stamp plus folds up fairly compactly and includes three wheels for easy
movement great for Studio situations just like we have back at the
office the last product from edone that we saw was a product they're calling the
poie which aims to make shooting your point of view super easy with a
smartphone you simply attach the included adhesive magnet to the back of
your smartphone and stick it to the poy giving you this really interesting
first-person perspective to whatever you might be doing I could see this being an
interesting tool for live streaming while keeping your hands free to continue working on whatever you want to
share whether it's showing a relative what you're cooking for dinner that
evening or using Periscope to work on a DIY project the poy also allows tilt to
change the camera's position to find what best suits your situation a simple
but very nice touch thanks again to Sennheiser for sending us here to NAB
