We've been talking some time about how to best provide value to our customers, fans and quite frankly, anyone with a passion for the biz. Cinevate is not a slick marketing machine, but rather a crew of folks who truly love what we do. This clip today broke all previous records in terms of...
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.
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.
There are three videos we've done (yes, a lot of material) that you will find have a lot of information

...but let me summarize here based on a lot...
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...
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...
For those who've seen the Fall 2010 edition of "Nikon World", you'll find pages 34 and 35 cover a BTS article shot by Nikon Senior Manager Steve Heiner. Steve used our Atlas 30 LTS system as well as our Core DSLR rig to shoot the BTS video.
The cameras used were the Nikon D7000, D300s, D3s...
Well, the XH-A1 was a standout camera for use with the Brevis MP.2 35mm lens adapter, and now the XF300 and XF305 are even better. We are editing several videos which cover our new XF300 and XF305 rig as well as a quick guide to setting it up with the Brevis MP.2 35mm lens adapter. For Brevis...
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...
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...

We've had a lot of response from folks asking the question, "Where did this come from"? Proteus Uno came as a result of one request from a fellow, Simon Scheiner, I met in New York (at the New Jersey PVA event last year) who asked for a smaller, simpler...

The big one for us (and the folks raving over it) is Cyclops, our full face DSLR LCD viewer. The unit provides a mounting sled for your...
