Announcing Cinevate's Proteus "Cage"

[Richard J. Johnson]

But can it babysit my kids? seriously, that thing is swissarmy knife. I would not mind incorporting this into my workflow at all.

Well, once one of these SLR chips gets into a video camera that can scan it quickly enought to prevent rolling shutter nasties, then yep, they will move over to Fred's side of things Regardless, it'll be pretty exciting to see what folks come up with the 5D..we'll have one here for a few days to play.

Dennis, I would like to see what you guys shoot with the 5D. So will you guys still be in business if/when Canon decides to stick that sensor into a camcorder?

We'll be here The 35mm adapter is only one of the tools and just happens to be the one that got me sucked out of my comfy government job and able to follow my personal passion. The Ballare dolly prototype and jib actually existed nearly a year before the 35mm adapter project began. As Cinevate expands (we just added another 1400 sq/ft) and increases it's staff complement you'll see the company come full circle to our elemental goal. That goal has always been to provide innovative products that increase production value affordably for film makers. We've got some amazing stuff coming.

Dennis, you need to post a picture of the Cage on the 5D!!!

For those interested, we were able to mount the 5DmkII on a steadicam thanx to the Proteus (& it's added weight).

You can see a picture of it here:

Leo, approx 12". I'll update the product page on Monday with that information. It's designed to allow a 2/3" ENG body to sneak in under the top bar.
