INSTANT EVERYTHING (the next-best thing to instant success) Most moviemakers will agree that the difference between good footage and great footage goes beyond talent and luck— it's the little things that often make the difference. Little things like extra mobility, to follow fast-moving action. Or a few extra dB of silence on the set. Little things . . . like the fleeting moment of news, captured because of a minute saved in set-up time. Or an unusual camera-mount that produces the "different" point of view you need. Little things do mean a lot. And, for many of those important "little things," cinema professionals turn to Cine 60... Instant Power Wherever you go, whatever the shooting situation. Cine 60's exclusive power belt* gives you the power to run every professional camera on the market. Plus the all-important mobility to go where the action is. Available in voltages from 6 to 30V (and up to 7 ampere-hours), it features rechargeable nickel-cadmium cells, sealed design and an automatic overload safety switch. With built-in charger and plug-in coiled power cable, it is one of the most widely-used power sources available today. Instant Quiet Silence is golden, yet relatively inexexpensive with the Cine 60 batterypowered fiberglass Blimp for Arriflex 35 cameras. Only 19 pounds, the Blimp permits shooting in even the most restricted spaces — with all standard lenses (even 18mm, without vignetting!). Inside the camera is securely mounted, yet isolated acou tically from its surroundings. On the outside, a new, gear-driven mechchanism permits smooth, accurate followfocus via large, easy-to-use knob. All other controls and connections are conveniently placed on a rear control panel. Instant Camera Pod Our single universal shoulder pod ("unipod' is a lightweight shoulder mount that accepts all cameras. Easily removable between takes, it keeps the camera in the ideal shooting position while offering the maneuverability of single-shoulder construction. Used with the Uni-Eclair Mount (detailed later), this is the only practical pod for the Eclair NPR-16. (By the way, we also have an excellent double-shoulder pod as well.) Instant Camera Platform Wherever and whenever you need a stable camera platform, chances are our VacuPlatform can provide it. This rugged suction-actuated device can be positively fastened to any smooth surface (cartops, floors, etc.) without marring. A flick of a lever on its extra-large suction mounts does the job. Especially useful for low-angle work, it mates with standard tripod heads. Instant Camera Mount 5ra lP»f*^ If you've ever watched a good shot pass you by while trying to thread a camer onto a tripod or shoulder pod, the Cine 60 Snaplok is your answer. Combining _rapid, fail-safe operation with the rug^gedness and precision alignment needed for day-in, day-out use, the Snaplok features light weight and high rigidity. One section mounts on the camera; the other on tripod or shoulder pod. A single pushbutton instantly separates the two. The base unit of the Snaplok is compatible with standard Va" and %" sockets. jm^ Instant NPR Our Uni-Eclair Mount is just what the name implies — a universal mount for the Eclair NPR camera. Rugged, yet surprisingly light, it may be left on the camera at all times, ready for hand-held operation or shooting with a tripod or shoulder pod. And, it makes a handy camera rest between takes. Instant Zoom If you own one of the fine Angenieux zoom lenses, you can have smoother, more consistent zooming with one of our electric zoom drives. Available in four sizes (for the 9-95mm, 12-1 20mm, 12-240mm and 25250mm), these units feature a precision gear assembly which mounts securely and directly to the lens barrels. The gear assembly, in turn, is rigidly coupled to a high-quality DC motor via a flexible shaft. The motor is powered by a transistor-regulated nicad battery pack featuring directional pushbuttons and a smooth, variable speed control — all contained in a convenient, palm-sized case — with built-in recharger. (We also make an instantmounting, collapsible rubber lens hood for the Angenieux 25-250mm zoom.)
