V Rig Makes Debut at IBC 06

--

Matthews Studio Equipment known for creating innovative state of the art Technology That Complements Your Imagination for the entertainment industry will introduce their first support entry for the VR market at IBC 2016, Building 12 G-71.

Spherical cameras see everything and are often left unattended in the middle of the action. To be effective, the camera support has to be strong and unobtrusive - and easily painted out in post. The VRig's ultra-small footprint minimizes nadir hole and shadow obstruction, yet, like all MSE equipment, will maintain rock solid stability assisted by its low center of gravity barbell weight retainer that works with standard or Olympic style weights. There is also an optional suction Pump Cup for non-porous surfaces and an Auger Spike for exterior locations to further enhance stability.

VRig features a slim vertical riser and is equipped with a Black Elastic Leg Skirt, allowing camera accessories to be concealed from view. Matthews has also provided integrated tapped female mounts for lighting fixtures and microphones to help address the rigging challenges of a spherical environment while still remaining inconspicuous.

VRig is more than just a stand, it is also a spherical camera support system. Its robust aluminum construction is uniquely modular. And it isn't just for live events. VRig is a multi-tasker, ready to capture VR for every entertainment platform. It can be reconfigured as a low-angle mount for a car, tabletop, ground, etc., or with an optional Boom Arm can provide mounts with extended positive and negative angles. The VRig also integrates seamlessly with standard grip equipment to allow the creation of custom built rigging.

VRig comes in two versions. The lightweight S30 (supporting up to 30 lbs/13.6 kg) and heavyweight S75 (supporting up to 75 lbs/6.4kg.
