Johnnie Behiri from Cinema5D, passed by our booth at NAB 2016 and talked to us about some of the new products we were showcasing at the convention. This interview is all about our new CAME-TV Accordion Jib!
The CAME-Accordion features an extending scissor arm that puts the camera right where you need it. The Accordion motion allows the arm to extend 4.7 Meters (15 feet) out and then retract back in. The drive is powered by a V-Mount battery (Not included) and is controlled by a rocker switch. The max payload is 15Kg (33 lbs) and works well when it's paired with our Argo, Prodigy or Mini 3 gimbal.

Vimeo user, BlackStunt Prod uploaded his latest demo reel that showcases a bunch of his most recent work. Most of the tracking shots that are in the demo reel were shot with the CAME-TV ARGO Gimbal!
BlackStunt Prod, filmed his projects with the Canon 70D with multiple lenses: the Canon 10-22mm, Canon 50mm f1.8 and a the Canon 24-70mm f2.8. He does mention that he also used a handheld stabilizer for some of the other shots. The CAME-ARGO features a 32 bit Alexmos board and is completely tool-less. All of the motors are equipped with encoders, which increases the overall performance of the ARGO and makes the battery last a lot longer.
The entire top handle bar can easily be separated from the gimbal, which than can be mounted to other devices like a crane, slider or drone with the included adapter plate.

Customers of our newer gimbals may have noticed that the battery charger kits for the CAME-Argo and Mini 3 are slightly different from how they used to be. With this slight change, there is an updated process on how to properly charge your batteries for these gimbals. See the video below for a simple step-by-step breakdown.
The blue LED indicator lights on the battery itself will not blink as it is charging. However, you can press the button to see the progress of the charge.

Vimeo user, Perbenyik Productions, posted this quick overview of the new CAME-TV Elastix Gimbal Support.
The CAME-TV Elastix is designed for the CAME-ARGO gimbal and can be bought separately or as a package with the ARGO. The CAME-Elastix gives the shooter the ability to hold the gimbal longer by reducing fatigue you may have in your arms from filming long takes. To attach the ARGO, you simply detach the handle bars and attach the ARGO's frame to the Elastix.
