GF-Iso Dampener
The GF-Iso Dampener increases the efficiency of gyro-stabilised heads by reducing rotational stress and smoothing out pan starts and stops on telescopic and fixed arm cranes by isolating high frequency vibrations between the mount and head.
It is mounted via Mitchell connection to the crane or GF-Mini and GF-Maxi Shock Absorber, allowing individual adjustment and tuning, to best suit the choice of stabilised head as well as the shooting environment.
WEIGHT: 9.1 kg (20 lbs)
MAX PAYLOAD: 85 kg (189 lbs)
TEMP RANGE: -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F)
DIMENSIONS: 42 × 42 × 22 cm (16" × 16" × 8")
Flowcine Black Arm
The damping action of all axes; vertical, tilt and roll are created by custom-made actuator hydraulic dampers that are fully adjustable. The Black Arm Complete kit comes with an additional anti-vibration camera gimbal mount to absorb high-frequency fluctuations from road noise and engine hum.
The Black Arm is the film industry's standard for camera vehicle mounts. Purely mechanical – the Black Arm is easy to use and maintain. Mounting the Black Arm is as simple as clamping it onto a standard 48-52mm speed rail.
You can mount the Black Arm on a multitude of transporters and vehicles such as; dollys, cars, ATVs, boats, motorbikes, scooters, snowmobiles etc.
The Black Complete has a vast payload weight range; between 5-32 kg (11-70.5lbs). It is available with two sets of springs (7.0 & 7.5), and two sets of dampeners for each damper position (a total of 6 dampeners).
A 22-step knob enables you to precisely dial in the amount of damping you need for your shot.
Standard or Complete
Our Black Arm comes in two versions. The Black Arm Standard is made to work
for gimbals and cameras with a weight range between 5-13kg (11-28lbs).
The Black Arm Complete is for users working with higher loads and
carries between 5-32kg (11-70lbs).
The Black Standard comes with one damper for each of the three axes, while the Black Complete ships with a total of six dampers, allowing for dual dampers on each axis if needed, or as spares.
ANTI-VIBRATION MOUNTS
We have two types of AVMs for our Flowcine Black Arm: the original Wire AVM and the new Tranquilizer.
The Wire AVMs come in five different weight ranges and are very easy to use.
The Tranquilizer has many adjustments to fine-tune its performance and may give better results if you have the time and skills to configure it properly.
It's important that the system matches the total weight of the camera build (gimbal, camera and accessories) that you will hang on to The Black Arm.
GF-Mini Shock Absorber
The GF-Mini Shock Absorber
has been designed for use with gyro-stabilised camera heads, aiming to
reduce high and low frequency vibrations and semi-hard impact shocks
during high speed chases and rough crane moves.The best results are achieved when operated with our GF-Iso Dampener or GF-Vibration Isolator.
WEIGHT: 9.8 kg (21 lbs)
MAX PAYLOAD: 65 kg (143 lbs)
TEMP RANGE: -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F)
DIMENSIONS: 77 × 19 × 34 cm (30" × 7" × 13")
Ladderpods
Available in 12' and 18' configurations, Ladderpods offer a quick and easy way to set up a static shot from a high angle.
Lite Decks
Lite Decks offer a modular, lightweight decking solution with removable legs.
Available in 1', 2', and 3' lengths.
Slider- Ronford Baker
The slider is CNC machined from high tensile aluminium stress relieved 'Tooling Plate', and anodised to suit. Designed for maximised carriage travel, with a minimum height of 4 ¾" (12 cm). Mitchell to Mitchell fitting, with an overall width of just 10″ (25 cm). The whole unit has a lockable rotation of 360 degrees.
Ultra high precision, ground stainless steel runners and rollers.
- 360 degree lockable rotation
- 'Soft stop' adjustable buffers or adjustable magnetic stops
- Available in length from 640 mm (25″) to 2440 mm (8')
- Mitchell to Mitchell fitting & 150m/m Bowl available for top
- Linear damper
The RB Slider is available in different sizes. Starting at 25″ and then available at 35″, 42″, 48″, 72″ and 96."
Slider- Panther
Our new and improved Vario-Slider offers the possibility to implement two different movement patterns. With the already known Bangi Function, the sledge is fixed and the rail is movable. The Slider Function allows a freely movable sledge with a fixed track. The good news is that you don't have to commit yourself! You can switch the functions in just a few steps.
Normally, sliders are limited by the length of their rail. Not with the Flexi Grip Kit! You decide the length due to a rail system which can be extended to your needs. It can also be combined with curved rails. A high grade aluminium tube weighs only 1.9 kg / 4 lbs and has a length of 1.5 m / 4,9 ft. Special lengths on request. The Flex Grip Kit slider can be operated on 36 cm or 62 cm gauge.
Slider- GFM
Quiet, Smooth and Stable Operation
The GF-Slider System offers quiet, smooth and stable, high precision rails with seven different lengths to choose from. Being extremely low profile, it can be operated on the ground. The interchangeable rails are drilled with 3/8" holes 1" apart, allowing easy accessory attachment.
Operating in Sliding Offset Mode
Operating the GF-Slider in sliding offset mode allows for offset panning and tabletop or tight tracking shots.
Easy Repositioning Through Adjustable Side Plates
Our adjustable side plates – engineered to work in perfect synergy with the GF-Slider – allow for easy repositioning on rails and additional height adjusters for height extension of the camera mount.
Tracking Carriage Capabilities
The GF-Slider System features a tracking carriage for Mitchell, bowl or Euro-adapter mounts and the choice between a Euro-adapter or Mitchell base mount.
Nose Mounts to Elevate Operational Versatility
Choosing from different nose mount adapters (scaffold, lighting stand, levelling legs) further increases the GF-Slider's operational versatility.
Vibration Isolator
The Vibration Isolator has standard springs and smooth movements, resulting in less-abrupt stops.
Adjustable hydraulic shocks can also be installed to increase the setting range, which helps control vibrations in the horizontal axis.
Tripods
Our Ronford Baker tripods have been the preferred choice of professional cinematographers for over 40 years.
Designed and manufactured from lightweight aluminium.
Tall & Short tripod versions available.
