Ultra Cine
The latest, lightest, most versatile, user-friendly Steadicam ever made! The Ultra Cine is the ultimate Steadicam Camera Stabilizing System. It is virtually ready to go - no additional accessories are required (enhancement accessories available). You can quickly configure this model to the best advantage for each individual shot. Key component is a +/-20 degree head that maximizes use of extended posts, preserves dynamic balance in regular and long modes, helps with clearance reach and viewing and enables whip pans with lens angled up or down. Features carbon fiber telescoping posts, monitor and battery rods and brackets and a proprietary stiffening system.
The main components of the Ultra series includes the Vest, Arm and Sled. These components work simultaneously to produce a finely tuned system of properly distributed mass and balances with the center of gravity precisely placed above the floating gimbal handle assembly to achieve flawless dynamics.
The unique features of the Ultra Series work together to allow the operator to quickly configure the Steadicam unit to the best possible advantage for each shot.
No-Tools adjustments on the Ultra Series sled, arm and vest are amazingly easy to use and free the operators to focus on their craft.
The Ultra-narrow streamlined design, only 3-1/2" wide, allows the Ultra's sled to stay close to the operator's body, improving control around tights spots and reducing fatigue. Modular, upgradable components allow for easy parts replacement and minimal down time. The entire system can be upgraded from Ultra to Ultra Cine as needs change. Miniature solid state circuitry provide reliable performance.
The integral tilt head preserves dynamic balance in both regular and long modes, assists with clearance, reach, or viewing problems and enables whip pans with the lens angled as much as twenty degrees up or down.
Technologically advanced materials of titanium, aluminum, and carbon fiber provide reduced weight and increased strength and flexibility. The Ultra can easily be extended from 27"-71", the maximum height of any rig.
The exclusive stiffening system creates extra rigidity whenever violent moves, a rough ride, or a very long post configuration needs some support. The lightweight, unobtrusive system can be installed on the sled in less than a minute.
The Ultra's Palm Pilot computer contains a customized dynamic balance program that is specifically tuned to the sled to ensure the success of even the most difficult shots.
Wireless stage controls offer trim adjustments while mid-shot for greater creativity. This eliminates the need to "muscle" through shots to help reduce operator fatigue. Operators or their assistants can trim the sled "on the fly".
The patented Iso-Elastic Ultra Arm is a remarkable engineering feat that enables a 20-45 pound camera to float evenly and freely in any position throughout the arm's entire range. Holding a shot high or low is practically effortless, because the camera stays in place with minimum drift. No-tools adjustment to the arm can be made "on the fly", while the system is fully loaded. Adjusting knobs enable operators to fine tune each segment independently without throwing the arm out of balance.
