The company also offers its Vision iScript, a fluid head and teleprompter combination designed to work with the mains or battery-powered GoPrompt 12 system from Autoscript. It comes bundled with a Vision Ped Plus pedestal or Pozi-loc tripod, and is compact and rugged, making it ideal for either studio or location work.

At J.L. Fisher, Inc., marketing director Frank Kay reports that the company has now shipped their Fully Articulated Skateboard wheels to Europe, South America and the Far East, and more to many long term lease customers in the United States. “They have been received well because each set of 2 wheels (truck) can swivel independently and all 32 wheels maintain contact on both straight and curved round track,” he notes. “If you missed them at NAB you can take them for a test drive at the Cinegear Expo.”
At The Tiffen Company, the Steadicam Division has introduced the FLYER-LE.  Based on the award-winning Steadicam Flyer technology, the LE Steadicam is a new design offering many new features and benefits for the operator, including a newly designed sled assembly (camera mounting platform) that has a robust carbon fiber no-tools extendable post.  A safety system inside the post prevents the post from separating while the index system keeps all parts in alignment.  A newly patented friction free gimbals assembly fits securely in the operator’s hand and the ISO-elastic stabilizer Arm supports 19 pounds of camera weight.  The no tools Arm/Vest interface allows for quick customization to the individual operator. 

Finally, over at Sachtler, the big news is the company’s camera support package for the 2008 Olympic Games, as 13 out of 18  new OB vans will be equipped with Sachtler camera support kits. At their new studios, CCTV and Shanghai TV are also relying on Sachtler fluid heads and pedestals. The Sachtler products will be used for on-site coverage as well as at the studios for interviews, analysis and commentary. The top product will be the fluid head Video 20 SB which will be in use in virtually every OB van or studio.
