The SLR Magic booth was lined with cinema lenses, running the gamut from E-mount to PL mount and spherical to anamorphic. New at this show, however, are more options for E-mount cameras by way of the MicroPrime CINE series of lenses. Optically speaking, these lenses feature the familiar optics of their currently available Cine lens line, but housed in a cinema-grade metal exterior with matching dimensions and focus/iris gear positioning, with a lens ring marked in T-stops instead of F-stops.

Redrock Micro's booth had some cool new products. Combining a boompole and a gimbal, the DigiBoom gives you the stability of a three-axis gimbal stabilizer with the added flexibility of an extendable boom, for cameras. The boom itself is made from carbon fiber and it extends from 3 to 6'. The three-axis motorized gimbal stabilizer supports cameras weighing up to 6.5 pounds, and it has pass-through connectors for audio, LANC, and S.Bus, for audio input, output, and camera control using the integrated interface.

Tokina is aggressively expanding its cinema-lens lineup and, at NAB this year, is showing off a pair of impressive optics: a 105mm T1.5 Vista Prime and 11-20mm T2.9 Cinema ATX. Two very different options, these lenses help flesh out the overall cinema line and cover some valuable focal lengths for shooters.
Extending the overall reach of the Vista Prime lineup is the 105mm, which manages to cover full-frame sensors, offer an incredibly fast T1.5 transmission, and work well at up to 8K resolution. Certainly a long lens, it sits in direct

Like virtual and augmented reality, the adoption of spherical (or “360-degree”) video into the mainstream has been a mixed bag. On one hand, the technology has evolved rapidly and in a manner that mostly benefits consumers—e.g., it’s become more accessible, generally easier to use, and costs less than initial offerings; on the other hand, what to do with all that promising tech remains somewhat more vague. Enter the Fusion, GoPro’s latest foray into

One of the most attractive aspects of RED cameras is modularity. The latest DSMC2 camera models are especially flexible, enabling minimalist to “everything but the kitchen sink” configurations that are only limited by your imagination. Since the RED DSMC2 platform provides a blank slate to build a camera, I inquired of my coworkers to see how they would build out their RED camera from the myriad options offered here at B&H. I’ve also included my own thoughts at the end.
