The lamp is used in a special fixture which forms an accurately controlled beam and provides flexibility in beam pattern. The first equipment to be built for the lamp is the Dyna-Beam Klieglight, manufactured by Kliegl Brothers of New York City. Since the 3000-watt lamp employs standard voltages, and may be used on either !ilt( 'mating or direct-current circuits, arc-lamp generating equipment is eliminat ed, and with no carbon adjustments to make, one man can handle several units.
Balanced "TV" Tripod Head
The Camera Equipment Company, 1600 Broadway, New York 19, New York, has announced a new balanced "TV" tripod head. This pan and tilt head meets the strict requirements of televison technicians and is a distinctly new concept of pan and tilt action, whereby friction and gyro principles have been discarded.
Floating action is experienced with the balanced "TV" tripod head. Even in pans or tilts of slight degree, or pans of 360 degrees, extra smooth action is realized. The tilt is balanced to assist the television cameraman in the operation of his camera, which reduces to a minimum the amount of effort required to move the camera.
The balanced "TV" head relieves the operator from additional strain
and eliminates the possibility of accidents. If, because of neglect on the part of the operator, the head is left unlocked with the camera mounted, it cannot fall forward or backward. The pan handle is adjustable for the operators' comfort, with no play between the pan-handle mounting
bracket and the head. To adjust the position a simple locking lever is released, adjustment made, and lever repositioned. The pan handle is an adjustable telescoping type.
The weight and manufacture of the camera to be used must be known to achieve proper tension and accomplish floating action. A special "TV" size tripod base with reinforced shoes can be supplied for the head which can also be mounted on all standard professional-type tripod bases, perambulators, pedestals, and dollies.
