The camera-agnostic 3D Stereo Tango can accept any film or video camera weighing up to 66 pounds (for a maximum total load weight of 132 pounds). The rig is also compatible with standard Arri accessories, including filter frames, filter retainers, rubber bellows, sliding bridge plates and iris rods, and the rig’s design grants ready access to both cameras at all times. Additionally, multiple mounting points make it easy to attach on-board monitors, transmitters and other accessories. The 3D Stereo Tango can be mounted on a fluid head, geared head or remote head. The rig is delivered in a custom, sturdy, welded-aluminum travel case with wheels. For additional information, visit www.tangohead.com.
Kaczek Visuals Launches Reflect Lighting System Following a long period of development, evaluation and use on such features as The White Ribbon (shot by Christian Berger, AAC), La Bohème (Walter Kindler, BVK, AAC) and Revanche (Martin Gschlacht, AAC), Kaczek Visuals’ Reflect Lighting System is now on the market. The RLS is an innovative lighting system for film, television, still photography, stage productions and event presentations. The system is based on reflection; specially designed RLS spotlights are directed onto RLS reflectors, which shape the light and transmit it with minimal loss. The wide selection of reflective surfaces — each available in four different sizes — allow targeted light distribution and offer plenty of leeway when designing the form and structure of the light. A great variety of lighting ambiences or effects can be achieved using the different structures and coatings of the RLS reflectors. The extremely efficient reflective quality (between 85 and 98 percent) enables combined and multiple light redirections.
The best results are achieved with spotlights, such as Kaczek Visuals’ Fred-Beam 70/1200 (1.2K HMI) and the Fred-Beam 40/800 (800-watt HMI), which can be positioned further away from the set, mitigating both noise and temperature. In comparison with conventional lighting equipment, the RLS’ power consumption is considerably lower and leaves the set almost free of equipment and cables; this also minimizes storage space and transportation requirements. Cinematographer Frédéric-Gérard Kaczek, AAC has also developed carrying bags and a set of lightweight magnetic holders (the MagNeck and the MagBall), which allow fast changing and accurate positioning of the reflectors while providing the required rigidity.
