Stopped by and met some of our folks today. Met up with Danny. Has some nice stuff, and some small updates to already great products too.
The DvMultiRig Pro that he is shipping now has changed since the version that I have. He's got a quick release on the support rod now. He's removed all plastic from the unit, and little things that required fidgeting have now been upgraded as well to streamline the ease of use factor and now allows for even quicker swapping from the different shooting modes. Instead of the handles having that little metal teet that you had to fidget with to lock and unlock, there are now large knobs that just require a simple turn and you can now swivel the handles freely throughout their range of motion.
All metal construction and solid. I really enjoy my multirig, and seeing the little things Danny has done to fulfill user requests and just make the product overall even better, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the newer unit, as well as trying out some of his other gear I've had my eye on for a while.
I watched a few folks stop by the booth and try it out, and they just fell in love with it, and several folks bought one on the spot.
He's got a new piece that goes on your tripod now that will allow you to set the whole multirig (with camera) directly onto your tripod in a matter of a few seconds.
Optional stronger springs will easily support the weight of a fully kitted HVX w/ rails, 35mm flipped adapter setup, etc... and with still more than enough spring to spare for an external monitor. I love that and am looking forward to expirmenting with that b/c of the portability of the multirig. While the DV Rig Pro HD is meant for that kind of setup, being able to use the more portable multirigpro with that kind of setup is a real bonus for me. Like when I fly around the world and can fit my cam, adapter, and multirig in my backpack and carry it all on without issue.
Anyways, it's not big RED, Panny, or Sony news, but it's news nonetheless. I've been a big fan of Danny, b/c I believe he makes great products, and listens to his customers to make them even better.
Later,
Jason
