    How to Shoot a Commercial (well, mostly)!

    Review of UNRELEASED Cinevate Atlas 10 LTS - Pictures and film!

    A few pics taken last weekend by our man Luke in the field. This is the first full production Atlas 10 in the field using full stainless, anodized aluminum and brass parts...so the salty slush you see here is no issue for the unit :-) Luke was testing out the D7000 with our Cyclops viewfinder.

    Shot on a 7D, starring a 5D :-)

    They say a picture is worth a few videos. Our man Luke took these pics last weekend while taking a D7000 for a test drive. There's no post work done on the images...with Cyclops the LCD really is that crisp and image critically usable from a distance.

    Shot on a 7D, starring a 5D :-)

    The good folks at Imaginarium films cooked up this little promo that we're using to promote Cinevate's new Cyclops DSLR viewfinder. It was shot on a 7D, using our Zeiss ZF mount prime set and starred my personal 5D rigged up a bit. We use Cinevate's Nikon to EOS Adapter Rings to mount the Nikon...

    Cinevate Introduces the Atlas 10 LTS (Camera Slider)

    Since introducing the extremely popular Atlas 30 and Atlas 200 LTS systems, folks have been asking for a center mount version that is just as smooth (well almost) as the Atlas 30 and 200 systems but lighter, faster to setup and less expensive. Introducing Atlas 10. As far as price, we're hoping...

    Brevis MP.2 with Canon XF305

    Cinevate pimps the XF305

    Well, it didn't take too long (about 2 days to be exact) but we've kitted up what we think is the perfect Canon XF300 and XF305 rig for shoulder mounting and serious film-making. Canon was nice enough to send us this one to test out our .5 pitch focus gear and we couldn't help falling in love...

    Cyclops is here!

    Cinevate's Cyclops system has been nearly 18 months in the making. Our goal was to create an LCD enhancement that could be used up to 36" away from the camera, was extremely sharp, and very bright. Because I wear glasses, the other objective was to create a system with no need for a diopter, and...
