iFootage launches “Beava” – its first “top of the line” camera bags

by Leave a Comment

iFootage has another new gear announcement. This time, it looks like they’re branching out into another new market with their “Beava” line of camera bags (buy here). There are four bags in total. A 35L and 50L backpack, a roller bag, and a satchel handbag. (As a reminder, iFootage also makes grip gear, sliders, and lights).

The bags, iFootage says, are “the pinnacle of camera support combining functionality, innovation, and aesthetics”. I don’t know about that, but they do look quite interesting.

iFootage, a company more well-known for its camera sliders, has expanded its lighting lineup with the new Anglerfish SL1 130DNA. This daylight-balanced light offers 130 Watts output and features a standard Bowens mount on the front.

It has CRI and TLCI ratings of an impressive 98 and 99, respectively. It also offers four different ways to power it, including V-Mount, NPF, AC adapter or even USB Power Delivery.

The Crabs are the best magic arms I’ve ever used

by 2 Comments

You know how your camera always wants friends? A monitor, a recorder, transmitters, mics, and more. (And then the friends want their own friends, like batteries, memory cards, and so on, but this is another topic). Well, all those “friends” need a place to live on your setup, and the new iFootage Spider Crabs could easily be the BFF in this group.

The Spider Crabs are a set of magic arms. Those are articulating arms with small ball heads on either side and a central knob if you are not familiar. When you tighten the central “elbow” knob, it locks the entire arm together. This makes it really easy to mount accessories and move them with ease.

iFootage has announced the SpiderCrab quick-release magic arm

With the lack of trade shows this year, Cinema 5D has taken to hosting an online virtual show this month, allowing companies to show off their new product announcements. It looks like some of those announcements are coming a little earlier than the live streams expected to begin on April 20th.

One of the first announcements is the new SpiderCrab quick-release magic arm from iFootage. Magic arms have been a staple for photographers and filmmakers for years, allowing them to attach things to other things. But they’ve usually just screwed or bolted onto the thing at each end. The SpiderCrab offers a way to be able to quickly swap out devices that looks pretty handy.

The Shark Slider Nano is a whisper quiet camera slider for shooting video or timelapse

by Leave a Comment

There are quite a lot of sliders out there these days, and many of them are excellent for timelapse, but quite a few of them have one big problem when it comes to video. That problem is noise, which can make it difficult to not only get a good sync track on the camera, but the slider can actually be picked up by dedicated microphones for external audio, too.

We’d heard that the new Shark Slider Nano from iFootage, though, is whisper quiet. We wanted to hear this for ourselves, so we paid them a visit during NAB 2019 to find out more.
