The iPad Movie Mounts have been used in many different areas. One of these is to assist coaches develop athletes techniques. No matter what sport you are into, the iPad Movie Mount can help giving the coach and athlete instant feed back. Coaches have a very simple interface on the iPad through software such as Filmic Pro (which allows you to shoot on slow motion) Simply take footage and go through that footage with athletes straight away on the iPads large screen, freeze the action, and scrub through sequences. You can choose to save movies for referring back to them later or just use it for the session.

What people saying about Movie Mount.

“Its been a great tool for teaching introductory videography and editing skills to our students.”

“The iPad Movie Mount has been a great coaches assistant. Being able to setup the iPad on a tripod and change the lens has meant getting good usable footage is so much easier.  The biggest plus has been being able to show that footage to our student on the iPads high res large screen straight away.”

We got together with the guys from POP HD to put together this video review on the Manfrotto Sympla video rigs. This is a beautifully designed system that is extremely functional. Beyond the mounting rigs and matte box which are great. The Sympla system has a remote control that controls focus and few other functions of the camera. This allows us move focus as we are shooting without the need for expensive, bulky follow focus rigs. It also means you can steady the camera with two hands unlike other rigs. Also we mention in the video, the new focus control is only available for Canon we can confirm that the Nikon version should be available be the end of this year.

We believe this is going to change the way you think and shoot with DSLR. Team will have the complete Sympla range in next week. And we will be adding a few rigs to our rental dept. So you can try before you buy.
