SFH-30: Compact Pixel Accuracy

Precise enough to be completely pixel accurate with HD and super-HD cameras, compact and lightweight to be used on any location for that perfect time-lapse shot and strong enough to take a wide range of cameras and lenses, the SFH-30 offers a huge scope.

When combined with our Academy Award winning Flair software, it delivers features for every occasion, from Virtual Studio interfacing, to animation, time-lapse, timecode triggering, GPI, GPO and of course the head is fast enough to be usable for some live action too.

SFH-50: Remote & Motion Control Head

The SFH-50 is a slightly larger version of the SFH-30 pan tilt head, designed to allow for slightly larger cameras to be placed on optical centre. This is particularly useful for cameras such as the RED One and Alexa – while the SFH-30 can carry both of them, the SFH-50 has a bit more room to support them better. Additionally the SFH-50 has options for a secondary tilt support and a 360 degree roll.

The SFH-50 is precise enough to be completely pixel accurate with HD and super-HD cameras, compact and lightweight to be used on any location for that perfect time-lapse shot and strong enough to take a wide range of cameras and lenses, the SFH-50 offers a huge scope. The head can be used with any of our intelligent controllers such as the MSA-20 Handwheels, Joystick Console, Pan Bars or a PDA running AEON. When combined with our Academy Award winning Flair software, it delivers features for every occasion, from Virtual Studio interfacing, to animation, time-lapse, timecode triggering, GPI, GPO and of course the head is fast enough to be usable for live action too.

FLAIR

Frame your shot and accurately record manual camera movements for repeated playback with the MSA-20 Handwheels. The MSA-20 is a convenient, easy-to-use, portable alternative to using the Flair Motion Control software.

HANDWHEELS

Frame your shot and accurately record manual camera movements for repeated playback with the MSA-20 Handwheels. Compatible with all MRMC Motion Control heads, including the popular Ulti-Head, the MSA-20 is a convenient, easy-to-use, portable alternative to using the Flair Motion Control software.

PAN BARS

A natural and intuitive way of controlling a motion control head, Pan Bars can be used in isolation or conjunction with other axis controllers, and movements can be recorded and accurately played back as required.

HAND HELD BOX

The Hand Held Box, or Jog Box, is a remote unit that connects to a Flair controlled rig, giving the user the freedom to move around the studio when inputting moves. Users can configure the Hand Held Box to individual requirements.

FOCUS

Gain accurate manual control of the focus and aperture of your lens. Use the Focus/Iris Controller together with the MSA-20 Hand-wheels or Flair Motion Control software to record and playback lens movements.

ZOOM

Manually control the focal length of your lens with the Zoom Controller. Use together with the MSA-20 Handwheels or Flair Motion Control software to record and playback the zoom motion.

Accessories

  • BLOOP LIGHTS
  • FOCUS/IRIS/ZOOM LENS CONTROL MOTORS
  • Preston/Arri/C-Motion Interfaces

BLOOP LIGHTS

Use Bloop Lights to mark specific frames with a bright flash of light during shooting. The ‘blooped’ frame enables editors to match up angles from a multi-camera shoot quickly.

 

FOCUS/IRIS/ZOOM LENS CONTROL MOTORS

Playback programmed moves or record manual lens movements for later playback with these precision-machined, highly accurate lens control motors. Compatible with wide a variety of types and sizes of lenses.

 

Preston/Arri/C-Motion Interfaces

Turn Preston, Arri or C-Motion Focus, Iris and Zoom remote wireless units into a full motion control system with the APFIZ unit. Each APFIZ unit can handle three separate motors and allows Flair to record any movements made using the wireless controller.
