MK-V Modular System

The key advantages of the MK-V system are :
· It is lightweight, reliable, future-proof, weather-proof and stable.
· It is user adaptable to suit any format
  (Including HD, film, video, DVC, HDV, IMAX, 3D IMAX)
· It can be tailored to suit your needs and budget making it ideal as a first system.
· It is totally upgradeable so a basic system can ultimately become a full feature
  package with all the innovations you will ever need.
· It can be used to replace any or al parts of any professional system, e.g. Operators
  can upgrade their original sled/system to an MK-V system
 
 


MK-V Revolution System

The MK-V Revolution System has 3 main versions.
The Revolution System is MK-V¡¯s Flagship innovation. We are taking body mounted camera stabilization to the next level by providing Operators with a way of producing shots never seen before.

The Revolution was conceived as the Manual Revolution (M-R), and provided for super quick changes between high and low mode by using the camera¡¯s weight to re-balance the sled.

The 2nd variation of the Revolution System is the Powered Revolution (P-R), which can be used as a 3rd axis or rollover on any head, or as a part of an existing motion control system, (like the Mark Roberts Ulti-Head) enabling exact control over the angle of the camera and allowing the same movement to be repeated time after time. This can also be used on a ¡°Steadicam¡± system and be driven via the gimbal control.

The top of the range system is the Auto-leveling Revolution System (A-R). This gives Operators the ability to shoot from ground level to 8 feet, and Automatically change modes in less than a second. The camera and monitor track the horizon no matter the angle of the sled. The new V2 A-R system also has an optional gimbal control to allow for manual control (roll) over your horizon whilst stablising.

The A-R and Nexus Systems are leading the way in which body mounted camera stabilization is defined ? Operators are finding new and unique ways of creating shots that were once impossible, and allowing a whole new way of moving the camera and telling the story.

The combination of the MK-V A-R System and the Hands-free Transporter (shown above) takes camera stabilization to the next level.

 
 

MK-V Nexus System

Imagine a base system that was totally configurable to the changing needs of any professional operator or situation. Imagine a system that allowed total adaptability and modular connectivity for even the most arduous professional shoot. We did. Then we tested it professionally in the field, and now we're offering it to you...

This is the MK-V flagship system and was specifically designed for working with the AR system.

The Nexus base system (patent pending) is more Film orientated with numerous battery combinations and set ups. Combined with the V2 D-Box system you have 2 monitor outputs, AR control and recorder in/out.

Used with the V2¡± Advanced Gimbal and MK-V 2¡± 4 stage post. this system combines total flexibility with tremendous stability.

 

MK-V Lite System

The MK-V Lite sled system is the entry-level MK-V system - this sled is fully upgradeable to a Nexus or MK-V AR System.

The Lite uses the same electronics as the Evolution and Nexus systems (12v and 24v) using all the standard cables and features inc. SDI.

Dynamic balancing the Lite is easily achieved, no matter which monitor and battery combination you choose.

The Lite was designed for DVC/Digibeta/HD type cameras and the new ARRI 235. The lite is an ideal professional running rig you can use with 16mm, 35mm and HD.

The Lite is available with either a single 1.5" or a 2 stage 1.5" post and with the new Genesis Gimbal (1.5").

You can also use the Lite Base System with the MK-V V2" gimbal (patent pending) and the 2" 4 stage and 2 stage systems.

Now you can have a start out basic system that will grow with you and your jobs.
 
 

MK-V Evolution Base

The MK-V D-Box's and Battery modules mount directly to the MK-V Evolution base Frame system. This modular frame is the heart of the MK-V Evolution system and allows for mounting of various optional accessories including Gyros.

MK-V also have a very simple and slim base for working in small spaces (cars etc.), this is a very simple dual bar system with mounts for all the MK-V accessories.

The Evolution Base frames unique design (patent pending/design registered), has mounts for the user change able battery modules and D-Boxes. It's lightweight and rugged aerodynamic design almost totally eliminates any wind problems, especially when used with the MK-V LCD Monitor . This is particular noticeable in low mode, and the open construction is also very helpful to see through.

The simple (ultra-lite) base is a dual bar system that mounts to the D-Box, and has mounts for the MK-V battery and Gyro modules, and makes an even easier running rig.

 

MK-V V2 D-Box System



 


The V2 D-Box is the Base mounted distribution box for power and video. The MK-V D-Boxes are state of the art electronics designed to distribute clean power and video through out the sled, and have maximum protection for Camera, batteries and accessories. The V2 D-Box mounts to the Evo Base frame/Nexus and post, and enables up the post cabling to the V2 J-Box. The Post mounting holes and cable connections are PRO compatible and new 2" mounting holes

It has an 2x 8-pin PRO compatible monitor outputs for using 2 monitors, 12v/24v power output (Gyro's), a 12v & Video output for video link, recorder out/in with auto video switching (5v, 7.2v, 9v and 12v available) and BNC in/out. And AR power and Data to the V2 J-Box.

It has 4x battery inputs all with individual battery monitoring LED's, there is also a 12v /24v switch for use with 24v cameras, and when the MK-V base system is attached to a PRO Post and top stage.



MK-V Wireless Focus System

The new MK-V Wireless focus system is designed to be a cost effective but professional focus system. The WFS has auto cal and auto anti backlash, programmable end points (within the standard range) and a speed control for super smooth iris and zooms.

The WFS has digital control of Heden, FMG motors.
This system has the speed and performance of the larger digital systems at a fraction of the cost and size.

The standard model is a 2 channel bi-directional system with 2 handsets - there is also a 1 channel system available as well.
