In our latest At the Bench video, I talk with Jesse Foster, VP of Product Development at MultiDyne, about some of their latest products, as well as the recent announcement of AbelCine as MultiDyne’s Platinum Partner for Cinematic Broadcast Solutions in the US.

Jeff Lee, AbelCine's Director of Education & Product Specialization, sits down with JC Sciacca, our Integration Design Engineer, to discuss the practical applications of the Sony FR7. They discuss use cases for this full format, interchangeable lens, PTZ camera with internal recording.

AbelCine teamed up with NYC-based director and cinematographer Theo Stanley for a brief study of the similarities and differences between TRIBE7's BLACKWING7 B-Tuned (Bespoke) and S-Tuned SKIN prime lenses.

AbelCine teamed up with ARRI and Dylan George to explore the application of ARRI Signature Zooms in the world of high-end fashion production. Two-time Academy Award-nominee Djimon Hounsou lent his commanding presence and undeniable charm to the shoot, which was directed by Kwaku Alston and shot by DP Bartosz Nalazek, PSC, with color grading by Picture Shop.

Sony recently unveiled an exciting new camera – the FR7, part of their Cinema Line – that combines the DNA of their Alpha 7-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras with the flexibility, precision and control of a remote-controlled studio camera.

We recently had the chance to test Sony's new FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS II lens on the FX3 Full Frame Cinema Camera.

We’ve known it’s been coming for some time, and now ARRI’s new 4K Super 35-format camera is finally here – meet ALEXA 35. The specs are impressive – a new 4K sensor, 17 stops of dynamic range, new REVEAL color science, and much more.

Canon recently announced the launch of a new line of full frame (aka full format) zoom lenses as part of their EF Cinema Lens lineup. These new lenses, called the Flex Zoom series, were developed to provide cinema-style productions with a full frame option leading to greater workflow efficiency. The first lenses in the series are the CN-E 20-50mm T2.4 L F/FP wide-angle zoom lens and the CN-E 45-135mm T2.4 L F/FP telephoto zoom lens. Both lenses are available in EF mount (the 'F' versions) or in standard PL mount (denoted 'FP').

Motion Impossible has just announced the new MagTrax drive-end upgrade for their AGITO robotic camera dolly. The MagTrax guidance system enhances existing AGITO Sports drive-ends, enabling operators to follow a magnetic strip laid on a surface, underneath a carpet, or embedded within a set. The magnetic strip can be arranged in various creative ways that are not possible with conventional dolly track.
