At the British Society of Cinematographers (BSC) Expo 2016, which runs from 29 to 30 January in London, Tiffen International will present steadicam operators and filmmakers with the M-1 rig which has received praise from a number of new owners.

The first to be delivered went to Max Zaher, a steadicam operator based in Germany who has worked on a number of international shoots. Shooting has changed - now nobody wants to wait. Setup has to be fast and solid and the M-1 can do this. I can quickly balance and change modes and I love that it s all tool free, including the G70x arm, and also that it s designed to be easily updated in the future. It s easy to maintain static and dynamic balance in either high mode or low mode, and to switch back and forth is a matter of minutes, which frees me to concentrate on the real job of shooting, said Zaher.

Los Angeles based steadicam operator Neal Bryant added: The fast pace of television demands a rig that configures quickly, and the M-1 has been able to give me exactly what I need, as soon as I need it. For me, what immediately stands out about the sled is I have the ability to position the masses anywhere I like. I can have the monitor high and the batteries low, or I can make the rig completely coplanar, all in the span of about 30 seconds. Its obvious that a lot of thought and care was put into every facet of this rig.

At the show the M-1 will be rigged with the G-70x arm and Exovest, a good combination for motion pictures, studio work, drama, location and sport. The Tiffen International team, including Terry Carey, Robin Thwaites, Danny Hallett, Eren Ibrahim and Kevan Parker, will be on stand 500.

Three new Tiffen diffusion filters - Blk SFX, Blk Glimmer Glass and Blk Pearlescent will also be on display as well as the new Multi Rota Tray, and new range of IRND combos. In addition, Lowel s new PRO Power LED, a solution to run and gun location lighting, and new Prime Location will be showcased.
