ARRi has done it again. We are excited to announce from IBC that ARRIs new electronic Control System is finally out!
And it is not a secret that these bad boys will do great in the field when going handheld!
I present to you,
The Master Grips
The Master Grips combine effective camera stabilization with comprehensive lens and camera control.
Lightweight and built to ARRI’s unsurpassed quality standards, the Master Grips are aimed at ALEXA, AMIRA and third-party camera users who want flexible and responsive fingertip control while shooting handheld.
The handles will basically make it more convenient for you to either adjust the iris, focus or Zoom.
One handle focuses on the super smooth Zooming options, while the other handle is helpful for iris and focus. You will have the choice to choose which handle you want on which side.
You can also get their new kits that are specially chosen for Amira, Alexa mini, Alexa Plus/Studio and also 3rd party cameras.

Release of the New Canon C700
3/9/2016
Canon has revield their new EOS C700 Cinema Camera, built for every production use, and for us to offer you.
The 4k RAW ready C700 is said to have similiarities to the c500 but there are major differences that makes the C700 a whole new model and not just an upgrade.
The C700 has a bunch of feautures that is worth mentioning. First thing, this beast has a new 4.5k-resolution sensor that shoots up to 15 stops of dynamic range, that means it can handle low light on a different level as well as getting details in the shadows and highlights, even when you are under high-contrast lighting coditions.
The c700 has internal recording options. It can shoot xF-AVC or ProRes codecs. In xf-AVC it can shoot up to 60 fps 4K and with Prores it goes up to 30 fps in 4K.
For all you who like shooting in 2K and 1080p HD they have that option as well.
All formats are conveniently recorded directly to the CFast 2.0 cards. There is also an SD card slot for all you SD card lovers. It supports HD and 2K proxy recording in other words, low-data-rate proxy files.
The C700 has two lens mounts available to choose from and that gives the option to pick which lens you like. It still handles the good ol’ EOS DSLR lenses and now has the option to handle professional cinema lenses. Hopefully when there will be a firmwire update, you should be able to shoot with anamorphic lenses.
Like being said, this Camera is a system. It is made to be used in filmmaking and also in broadcasting. You have the possibility to either choose to use inexpensive DSLR optics, PL Lenses or Anamorphic lenses.
When recording, you basically have the ability to record in the codec you prefer, to the types of media you like, whether you have to deliver right away or spend more time on it for grading etc. The C700 will give you the option.
We are waiting to see which next blockbuster will be using this stunning system.
