EGRIPMENT USA, INC. HAS MOVED!
 
As many of our friends and clients know, Egripment USA, Inc. has been the Sales, Support and Service center for Egripment, since it was founded in 1986 in the Los Angeles, California area.

During these 25 years much has changed in our industry, and one of those changes is that the Film and Broadcast industry is no longer centered in only one area of the U.S. Therefore it is no longer essential to be located in any one part of the U.S. in particular to properly serve all of our clients.

Some time ago the decision was made to move Egripment USA to Knoxville, Tennessee, near the East Coast of the U.S. This move is now in the final stage and the new address and contact information is:

Egripment USA Inc.
201 Center Park Drive
Suite 1010
Knoxville TN 37922 USA
Website: www.egripment.com
email: egripment@egripment.com
Phone: +1 (865) 357-7535
Fax: +1 (865) 357-7536


We are convinced that this move will be very economically beneficial for our clients, and will also improve our service to the majority of our clients. So for all services regarding North, Central and South America, please contact our new Egripment USA office, it will be a pleasure to continue working with all of you for the future.


NEW - STARCAM MKII
 
The Egripment StarCam MKII is the latest version of the Egripment StarCam Tower Product Line. Evolutionary improvements and based on the classic StarCam System with the possibly to use the column either up ride or hanging – all in one unit.

The all new StarCam MKII has now increased payloads, 60 kg | 132 lbs when used hanging and up to 75 kg | 165 lbs in normal operation and still fulfills even the strongest safety demands.

The telescoping remotely controlled Electric Column lifts the camera with any Remote Head, such as a HotHead, HotShot, 305 | 306, Scanner or Scanner Elite Head, straight up to a maximum height of 5,00 m | 16.40 ft.

The movement is very smooth and can be used during the shot. The telescoping remotely controlled Electric Column lifts the camera with any Remote Head, such as a HotHead, HotShot, 305 | 306, Scanner or Scanner Elite Head, straight up to a maximum height of 5,00 m | 16.40 ft.

The hand or computer controlled movement is completely proportional, and you can adjust the degree of ramping during the start and stop. Easy to set up end stop for individual top and bottom limits. The StarCam can easily be operated by one person, by joystick or foot pedal.

Optional accessories like bazooka extensions, encoder package in combination with Egripment Tracking Interface for Virtual Studios and Augmented Reality as well as low mode remote brackets complete the StarCam Product Line.


ELECTIONS IN TURKEY
 
Egripment used our new Encoded Package for Cranes during the TV broadcasting of the Turkish elections in June 2011.

The TDT6 crane package and the 306 Remote head were both equipped with high resolution encoders. All Pan and Tilt data from the TDT6 crane arm and from the 306 remote head were transferred to the TDT Tracking interface and combined with the lens data, in such a way that all data could be used for the Virtual functions of the broadcast.

The Augmented Reality functions require much higher resolution of the encoder then with standard virtual use.

The data was then transferred per UDP to the rendering machine. In Turkey we used the Orad equipment for that purpose.

The TV set/studio was a combination of a classic Virtual studio and Augmented reality.

To see the result we invite you to have a look at the following link on the Egripment YouTube Media channel. YouTube Clip

The complete Encoded Crane Package is now availbale. (Sales and Rentals)

NEW FOR THE PROSUMER MARKET: THE PROTRAVELLER SYSTEM
 
As the pro consumer market is expanding, Egripment introduces its “ProTraveller System” which is a Jib / Crane system for Prosumer type cameras with a maximum payload of 10kg / 22lbs. The Pro Traveller is an affordable option for a Jib / Crane system including a remote head and can be mounted on any 100mm bowl type of connection. In the field, on track, in the studio or clamped on a balcony; there is no type of mount impossible for this light and easy Jib / Crane combination. The Pro Traveller System in its highest configuration of 6mtr / 19.7 feet, only weighs 37.4kg / 82.5lbs, which makes the crane very easy to transport.


NEW ACCESSORIES FOR MATADOR DOLLY
 
For a perfect low angle shot the Matador Dolly accessory range has been expanded to include the new Bowl Sideboard. This sideboard fits on all Matador Dollies and can be equipped with a 100mm or 150mm bowl to make it easy to get the best and most stable low angle images.

The Angle Adapter and the Rear Boards are designed to create more space on the Matador dolly, as the Rear Boards extend the base of the dolly and the Angle Adapter curves the handle bar for more turning space.

For more information about these or other Matador accessories please contact Egripment or your local Egripment dealer.

HANDBALL WORLD CUP 2009 - CROATIA
 
Croatia hosts the 2009 handball World Cup and the country is keen to make sure it gives the best possible impression to fans and viewers.

Six Croatian cities will host games during the world cup, these are: Zagreb, Zadar, Split, Osijek, Varazdin and Porec.

With Egripment Special Projects Department the organisation is assured to have the best shots for the fans and viewers.

Egripment delivers several systems such as the StarCam telescopic tower system, the rock solid HotShot and HiLo platform.


TDT ---- ALL IN ONE ---- REMOTE CRANE SYSTEM
 
The TDT Remote Crane System is a new concept for a Lightweight remote camera crane and remote head combined as a single product.
Portions of the remote head are built into the front section of the arm, and the controls at the back of the crane are built as a part of the weight bucket.
There is no other crane system like this available on the market.
We would like to add the TDT system as a “different” and completely “new” design offered at a very low price, but with the high Egripment quality all our products are known for.
The TDT crane is a modular system with 3 arm sections of 1,50 Mtr / 5 Ft. long. This gives the user the ability to transport the complete arm in a very small vehicle.
The TDT remote head technology is a combination of the Scanner Head and the SuperShot Head. The two motor sections (Pan and Tilt) of the head can be adjusted for completely nodal use. There are no slip rings available but both motor units have cleverly placed holes to guide the cabling to the camera.


EGRIPMENT'S FASTEST REMOTE HEAD: SUPERSHOT !
 

The SuperShot is the latest Egripment Remote Head to be added to the line-up of the HotHead, HotShot, MiniShot, MicroShot, and Scanner Elite.
