Well known
for its smooth shots, ARRI has added the stabilised remote head SRH-360 to its
range of camera stabiliser systems.
The all-new
SRH-360 has three key features that give the cameraman flexibility in
manoeuvring the camera. For instance, a newly-designed slip ring offers
unlimited 360-degree rotation around the pan axis, which has been added due to
high demand from operators.
Furthermore,
the torque of the pan
motor has been increased by 50%, allowing it to compensate for powerful centrifugal
forces when shooting high-speed camera moves. This makes the SRH-360 even more
flexible for dynamic environments such as action, stunts,
vehicle
work, sports and live music performances.
Curt
Schaller, product manager of Camera Stabilizer Systems at ARRI, said: “Unleashing
the pan axis by adding a slip ring and a more powerful pan motor gives the
cinematographer and camera operator the freedom to create moves and frames that
they could not get before.”
With the three-axis
design, it could also stabilise a full-sized camera up to 30kg.
Current
SRH-3 owners could opt for an upgrade with SRH-360 functionality through the
purchase of the new slip ring pan axis module.
