MARKETPLACE AKTIV FLUID HEAD
SR DISPLAY
The Sachtler Aktiv fluid head is designed to bring a new level of speed to camera operators, adding SpeedLevel and SpeedSwap technology that enables operators to mount, level and lock the head in seconds and to switch quickly from tripod, slider or handheld shots.
Sony’s Spatial Reality (SR) Display enables creators to combine virtual and physical worlds and make them visible with the naked eye, according to the company. The display uses a high-speed vision sensor that follows exact eye position to the millisecond while rendering the image instantly based on the location of the viewer’s eyes.
Paired with the Aktiv, Sachtler’s SpeedLevel technology replaces bowl clamps, enabling the head to be released, leveled and locked by releasing a lever. No bowl clamp also allows it to be placed at ground level, with an illuminated PrismBubble visible from above and the side to confirm level.

EOS C70 CAMERA The EOS C70 is Canon’s first-ever small form-factor RF-lens mount cinema EOS camera. EOS C70 features Canon’s Super 35mm DGO sensor, which extends the HDR and lowers noise level by reading out two different gains for each photodiode. This results in an image with up to 16-plus stops of total dynamic range in up to 4K/60p or 2K/120p.
The content is displayed in real time using an original processing algorithm. A micro optical lens placed over the 15.6-inch LCD display divides the image into left- and right-eye views, enabling stereoscopic display. A software development kit is also available.
