Argosy To Present Polecam At CABSAT 2013

Argosy have announced they will be showcasing the latest developments from Polecam at CABSAT 2013.
On display will be the Polecam PSP+ with the long head option, designed to accommodate the popular Canon 300 camera or equivalents from Sony and Panasonic. The electronically controlled remote head mounts on a modular carbon fibre tube system that reaches from 1.5m to a huge 8m. The carbon fibre tubes give the system rigidity as well as long reach, and mean the whole assembly is very light and easily mounted in cars or on boats, or carried to difficult to access positions.
The PSP+ includes remote Pan & Tilt head, Joystick, 3 Carbon Fibre Sections and the Backend, with its integral counterweight system with control and power supply — all in a single Peli case. Options include tripod, monitor and counterbalance weights. As well as the long head option, PSP+ kits are also available with a wide head to fit DSLRs, while the narrow head accommodates HD Minicams such as Toshiba and Indiecam enabling standard or 3D stereoscopic shots.  Additionally, there will be a waterproof housing for underwater shots called Fishface that has proven itself in many international aquadromes and wildlife application.
Also on display will be GoalCam. Developed for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the kit includes goalmouth cameras with low distortion 125˚ lenses and a stadium camera with a 170˚ fisheye lens. Both are highly ruggedised, and are supplied with a separate camera control unit. With high quality HD outputs, the GoalCam kit is an ideal way for sports specialists to add production value to their coverage.
"We are proud to bring Polecam products to the Middle East," said Mike Purnell, director at Argosy. "The founder of the company, Stefan Hewitt, is a former cameraman who wanted tools which would allow him to get unique, distinctive and creative shots. There was no kit to do it, so he built his own, to the uncompromised standards he demanded. The range has gone from strength to strength, and we look forward to showing these new models to the industry at CABSAT this year."
