thanks to saniser and Kingston for powering our NAB coverage this year
0:04
check them both out at the links in the video description it's not often that a
0:08
camera support company really grabs my attention from the rest in the same way
0:11
etone has this year at NAB so let's take
0:14
a look at what they had to offer starting off with their product that
0:18
caught my eye the most the ome jib plus add-on to small camera cranes now you
0:22
might be thinking Brandon jibs are difficult and complicated to set up and
0:26
use especially for someone just starting out and while I typically agree with
0:30
this point the jib plus aims to make operating a jib exceptionally easy the
0:35
system is made up of three main components the controller the sensor
0:38
module and the twox camera head with an integrated Focus motor edone designed
0:44
this system for basically anyone to just pick up and start shooting essentially
0:48
what you do is to First manually aim the camera at your subject and set your
0:52
first Target point then you move the entire jib ARM to a drastically
0:55
different location and manually aim the camera at your subject again and set
1:00
your second target Point once you have those two points set it can then figure
1:03
out the entire 3D space around your subject allowing you to move the jib
1:07
wherever you'd like while the head automatically adjusts pan tilt and focus
1:12
to perfectly hold your subject position in the frame if the focus is not correct you
1:17
can manually adjust it using the controller allowing the unit to learn
1:21
the necessary Focus points and pull Focus for you throughout your move
1:24
freeing you from the daunting task of both operating the jib and automatically
1:29
pulling Focus simultaneously to be clear
1:32
this is not using any form of in camera autofocus the camera is set to manual
1:36
focus leaving all the focus pulling to the jibs two AIS head moving on to
1:40
edon's New Stand plus which is a friction-based camera stand that allows
1:45
you to easily set your camera at various Heights quickly the system is not made
1:49
to make pans or tilts but to very quickly get static or overhead shots of
1:54
your subject with ease I see the stand plus being very useful for product shots
1:59
like demonstrating Fe Fe of a smartphone or for getting wide static landscape
2:03
shots with the flexibility to get different perspectives without fiddling
2:06
with tripod legs you are able to adjust the friction of each joint to fit your
2:10
needs for both the amount of force you want to put on and the camera's weight
2:14
the stamp plus folds up fairly compactly and includes three wheels for easy
2:18
movement great for Studio situations just like we have back at the
2:24
office the last product from edone that we saw was a product they're calling the
2:28
poie which aims to make shooting your point of view super easy with a
2:32
smartphone you simply attach the included adhesive magnet to the back of
2:35
your smartphone and stick it to the poy giving you this really interesting
2:39
first-person perspective to whatever you might be doing I could see this being an
2:43
interesting tool for live streaming while keeping your hands free to continue working on whatever you want to
2:47
share whether it's showing a relative what you're cooking for dinner that
2:50
evening or using Periscope to work on a DIY project the poy also allows tilt to
2:56
change the camera's position to find what best suits your situation a simple
3:00
but very nice touch thanks again to Sennheiser for sending us here to NAB
