Another Newly Delivered Arri and Sony Upgrade

MC2, the London based motion control facility is another company to have the Mark Roberts Motion Control Slimline Head upgrade to allow it to take the new range of HDTV Cameras and the Arri 435 Film camera. The Slimline head is part of their giant Cyclops motion control rig located at Black Island Studios, and normally this pan-tilt-roll head is for use with a built-in integrated film motion control camera. The upgrade provides the Cyclops with the ability to carry other cameras including Video and HD cameras, where traditionally a different head such as the Standard pan-tilt-roll head would have been required instead of the ultra-compact Slimline head. MC2 is the 2nd company in almost as many months to have this option, showing the increased popularity of the new HD media. Together with the recent development of the Arri 435 Advanced interface, effects can be created on the Arri cameras in the past would have required more traditional cameras such as the Mitchell.
