Cinevate Announces the New Atlas FLT Lightweight Camera Slider at NAB

Compact and lightweight design makes this camera slider easy for filmmakers to transport

Las Vegas, NV, NAB Booth # C12033 - (April 11, 2011) - Today Cinevate announces the addition of its most compact, affordable and lightweight DSLR camera slider - the new Atlas FLT. Based on the rock solid design and construction of its predecessor, Atlas 10, but measuring only 26 inches long and weighing in at less than 10 pounds, the new Atlas FLT makes it even easier for filmmakers to travel and transport.

Atlas FLT empowers filmmakers of all skill levels and abilities, allowing the creation of horizontal, vertical and even angled camera movements. By using the specially designed vertical pulley system and counter-balance, operation is simple, effective and stable for every take. With a non-reflective, black satin anodized finish, full CNC aluminum/steel construction, and stainless steel fasteners, users can expect a lifetime of reliable operation.

This simple camera slider is equipped with a 3/8” screw, making it compatible with any standard 3/8” threaded ball head. Starting at just $579, the Atlas FLT is one of the most affordable DLSR camera sliders on the market.

NAB 2012: Camera Support

Adam Wilt | 05/05

A few of the interesting bits ‘n’ bobs that make cameras usable.

At NAB I found support vendors at the affordable end of the spectrum I hadn’t seen before, comfy Aaton-style handgrips, F65 tweaks by Carlos Acosta, and a “drive-by demo” of a handy zoom/focusing lever.

NAB 2012: Trucolor Ohm Space Light

Bruce A Johnson | 04/20

400 watts of LED replaces a 6K?  Sounds good to me.

Next time you need to flood a room with soft light - in whatever color temperature - you should give the Ohm a look.

NAB 2012: EZ-Jib

Bruce A Johnson | 04/20

EZ to use, EZ on your wallet

I’ve always been intrigued by jib arms, and usually put off by their high prices.  EZ-FX might have a solution to that problem.
