NAB Debut For Egripment's Portable Hardware Solutions

News Image
Egripment Support Systems is featuring several new compact and portable hardware solutions at this year's NAB Show in Las Vegas.

Included among the products are the company's ProTraveller System, TDT Remote Crane System and Universal Dolly, as well as its Focus Dolly Light and Aluminium Pack Track.

Egripment's TDT Remote Crane System is a lightweight, modular length, remote crane, dolly and remote head. The remote head on the TDT features the best qualities of Egripment's Scanner and 306 Heads and incorporates them into a solution suitable for most ENG-sized broadcast and smaller digital film cameras. Controls for the remote head are located at the back of the crane, on specially designed brackets that allow for comfortable handling by the operator. The system also features guides for the camera cabling and to protect them from damage during movement. With arm sections of just five-feet-long, the modular TDT system is compact for convenient transportation in a small vehicle.

With a new method of steering, Egripment's Universal Dolly is capable of being folded down to 20x30x5 inches (50x75x12.5cm). The Universal Dolly name stems from its adaptability to all possible production requirements through the addition of any Egripment accessory, such as seat supports, columns, bazookas and jib arms. Capable of carrying a payload of up to 440 pounds (200kg) with a solid camera platform, the dolly itself weighs only 37 pounds (16.8kg) without wheels. Available with both two- and four-wheel steering, the Universal Dolly can be manoeuvred from either the back or front. It can also be equipped with either flat or four- or six-inch (100 to 150mm) camera bowl sideboards and operates with pneumatic, hard rubber or track wheels.

Egripment's new Focus Dolly Light and Aluminium Pack Track is based on the company's original Focus Dolly, but features a new design and is built from aluminium, making it lighter and more durable than the original. With the anodized Aluminium Pack Track Kit, which replaces the original Polymer Pack Track, the Focus Dolly is ready for track use.

Finally, the company's crane/jib/remote head ProTraveller System is designed for use with DSLR and HDV cameras. With its maximum weight of 82.5 pounds (37kg) at the largest set up length, the ProTraveller combines high-quality crane movements with a technical remote head on a lightweight frame. Ideal for any purpose; in the field, on a track, in the studio, or even clamped to a balcony, this system can be mounted in any four-inch (100mm) camera bowl-type connection.
