New! Anton/Bauer Dionic XT Battery Series - The new Dionic XT line of highly dependable, long-lasting, and rugged batteries will be shown in Europe for the first time at IBC2018. Dionic XT is the newest generation of Anton/Bauer's highly popular Dionic battery series for broadcast and 14.4V cinema applications. Available in both V-Mount and Gold Mount, the high-performing and compact Dionic XT is a 14V Li-Ion battery capable of delivering up to 12A of continuous power for cinematographers, broadcasters, rental houses, and other customers for whom battery performance and reliability are essential.
Available in two models - the Dionic XT90 and the Dionic XT150 - the Dionic series features ultra-high-strength ABS and rubber construction that cushions and protects the battery and ensures industry-standard performance even in the most demanding conditions, including extreme heat, humidity, and cold. Dionic XT's superior cell technology is engineered for maximum cycle life, enabling the battery to be recharged many more times than competing batteries for superior ROI and the lowest management overhead. Dionic XT batteries not only work with Anton/Bauer's complete line of battery charging systems, but they are also cross-compatible with competing brands' charging systems and offer superior performance for powering accessories such as portable LED lighting.

Litepanels: Gemini 2x1 Soft Panel Firmware Update
At IBC2018, Litepanels will showcase the latest firmware update for Gemini, the industrys most accurate and versatile 2x1 soft panel. Gemini eliminates the need for color correction by offering full-spectrum white light that's perfect for lighting talent and rendering exceptional color. Lighting professionals can go bold by lighting with any color in the 360-degree color wheel and popular gels within Gemini's color modes. Introduced at IBC2017, Gemini has been updated through the new firmware to provide a wider variety of cinematic effects - such as emergency lights, fire, TV, and hue bursts - that are fully customizable and that can be easily saved to presets.
Gemini's versatile, ballast-free, lightweight design allows the light to be rigged more easily, requiring fewer cables because the power supply is built-in. The production-friendly soft panel can also deliver full-intensity output when powered by batteries such as the Anton/Bauer CINE VCLX battery.

Sachtler: Award-Winning flowtech Camera Tripod
flowtech is a carbon-fibre tripod featuring the world's fastest-deploying legs, unique quick-release brakes, and easily adjustable levers for quick and easy setup in any type of remote production environment. At IBC2018, Sachtler and Vinten will showcase flowtech technology with the flowtech 75 tripod, compatible with all major 75-millimeter fluid heads.
flowtech offers a set of two-stage legs with an easy-to-remove midlevel spreader, rubber feet, and a payload capacity of 20 kilograms (44 pounds). The quick-release brakes enable legs to be deployed simultaneously and adjust automatically to the ground's surface, saving operators from bending over and manually adjusting multiple brakes on each leg. A unique hinge-lock mechanism allows users to capture extremely low, ground-level shots, removing the need for extra baby legs. Lightweight and easy to transport, flowtech 75 can be carried comfortably on the camera operators shoulder, with magnetic locks keeping the legs stable during transport.
