Are Viewfactor at NAB ?

[Damien Molineaux]

Anyone come across the Badinsky bros at NAB, or at least their products ?

Maybe they're too busy working on them.

They were listed as having a booth though. Surprised there's been no mention of them yet. They said they were planning announcements for NAB.

Cheers,

Yes, saw Curt at their booth in NAB. They demoed their latest built. Look good. Need a couple more weeks to ship though

They are working REALY hard on it ;-) Talked to them, my mirus should be shipped around Jne they stated. But all looks great.

Mirus looked awesome. I was hoping to see it working, but they had some issues with prototype parts not fitting right and they were still getting it programmed. I think Curt was programming on it right there at the booth when I walked up.

I like their motors, looked great. Was hoping to see an Impero controller, but it they didn't have one.

Right next to the ViewFactor booth is Ugrip. They have an adjustable handheld system for the RED (and other cameras) that looked kinda neat and compact. I'd want to play with it on a RED One before I'd actually buy it though. However, they did have a slick RED Drive mounting unit, but a bit pricey at $399. I still may get one of those though since Element Technica isn't ready with theirs yet.

They have a promo price on the package (grip, drive mount and case). I ordered one. I'll let you know what I think when it arrives.)

Did you hear how loud the motors were? Was it acceptable? I guess it's hard to hear this at a loud NAB exhibition though.

The prototypes are on par with a Heden motor and I believe I heard the guys say the production models were gonna be a little quieter.

Inclino/Impero combo looks like a must buy to me. Inclino might not be the lightest lens motor in the market but when you consider that the receiver is built into it that pretty much makes it a net weight savings on a camera rig.

I think these things are gonna be as nice as anything I've ever worked with and cost a fraction of the price. BUY! :usd:

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I personally didn't think the Inclino motor was that heavy... I've heard the heavy comment before getting to their booth and from description, initial pictures, etc.. I just thought it would weigh more. Curt was a bit surprised when I said it wasn't as heavy as I expected.

Looks like a great motor though. I wish they had the Impero there and a way to play with operational motors.

Greg -- when do you think you will get your U-Grip system? I'm definitely interested. If it weren't so hectic at the time, I probably would've had one of the Ugrip guys help me put all the pieces on a RED at the VF booth as they were already showing off the drive mount on one of the REDs there.

Hopefully soon, I didnt even ask.

I'll post a review when it arrives. They only disappointment is that it does not incorporate a shoulder pad.
