KFX Technology To Exhibit At BSC Expo 2016

KFX Technology has announced it is to launch its new motorised slider at BSC Expo 2016.

The company has been selected by Ronford Baker to collaborate on motorising their sliders following the engineering of the KFX Aurora Remote Head. The Aurora head is precision engineered, easy and intuitive to use, and can meet the most demanding applications.

Steve Scammell, CEO, KFX Technology, said: "KFX Technology, now based in New York, emerged from Kontrol Freax Ltd, a company that was among the first to offer lightweight motion control to the UK film market. Eventually working world wide from USA to China to Indonesia, Kontrol Freax worked with the BBC Planet Earth Team to bring Hollywood production values to natural history programming. KFX's second collaboration with the BBC Natural History Unit saw us design a bespoke lightweight motion control system for use on the Frozen Planet TV series.

"The experience gained from creating technology that works reliably and is easy to use in those extreme conditions was put to use in the development of the Aurora remote head and now the slider motor. Plug and play design and ease of use are at the core of our design philosophy as well as reliability. Recent productions include Mission Impossible 5, Spectre, Star Wars the Force Awakens, Insurgent, Daddy's Home and Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones and Victor Frankenstein.

"Now the Aurora head and slider motor work together to form a 3 axis system remotely controlled through just one cable. The 5 minute set up time for the head and slider allows for more flexibility on set to create more unique shots without lengthy rigging time, using the slider and head in either overslung or underslung mode."

KFX Technology will be on the Ronford Baker stand (#209), at BSC Expo.
