P+S Technik Freestyle 3D Mirror Rig from Thomas English on Vimeo.
So this is the lightweight 3D mirror rig, enabling 2 cameras for stereoscopic production, from P+S Technik called the “Freestyle 3D Rig” developed by Philippe Bordelais. Its great for Steadicam! It turned up on a Satchler Artemis sled which worked well. I promptly placed it on my MK-V sled which coincidentally was pretty much balanced immediately, once tweaked it flew great. Later on it was tried on a Steadicam Ultra 2 and was fine. Its very easy to get into static balance.
Its great to fly. The interocular and convergence can be changed on the fly using a C-Motion. Pretty much most popular cameras can be used in there with most lenses and lens control systems. Certainly the SI-2K is perfect because it is so lightweight. I want to put two RED cameras in there as soon as possible. In this video we had two EX3’s. Its a strong solid robust system.
When you change to interocular, the two cameras move thus negating any changes in balance. With the EX3’s I did not notice any changes in balance when changing the convergence.
I will know as soon as someone in the UK purchases one of these so feel free to contact me to find out.
