Top 5 NEW Camera Accessories

Thanks to Sennheiser for sponsoring our NAB 2017 coverage, learn more about the MKE 2 elements GoPro microphone and their other audio for video products at the link in the video description. NAB 2017 is well underway so let’s check out our top five camera accessories from around the show floor. Starting us off at Sennheiser MKE 2 Elements, this is a new microphone Sennheiser has made in partnership with GoPro. The microphone uses Sennheiser MKE 2 capsule and uses a rubber base to prevent vibrations from affecting sound in all the various mounting situations you may face. The mic is omnidirectional and is designed to withstand extreme cold and the wettest environments you could throw at the hero4.

The mic itself is an ipx7 rating and was recently taken first bin in various wet environments by Linus in his full review here. Sennheiser is also working on a version of this mic for the Hero 5 that will be coming out soon.

Our second accessory in this roundup is from Spider Holsters newest addition in their lineup of products the Spider Light. Now some of you may know that I’ve been using Spider Holsters Black Widow to carry my Tx 2 for a while now. The Spider Light attempts to improve on the Black Widow’s design; it sports an all-metal body with a smaller footprint than its predecessor as well as a new clip system that makes it easier to put on and remove from your belt.

Unlike the Black Widow where in order to take it off you have to remove your belt entirely.

Spider also includes a new and improved plate for your camera that doubles as an ARCA Swiss plate for tripods that use that standard with the added bonus that this plate can also have a different tripod plate added to the bottom thanks to its quarter-twenty thread. Spider has also added an optional accessory that allows use of the Spider light on a backpack strap for those who travel with backpacks often. A nice addition since I constantly find myself carrying a backpack when traveling. Next up is Maroto’s new nitro tech fluid head.

Manirroto has designed this head with a nitrogen piston in the middle which may sound a little weird, but it allows for a continuous counterbalance without the need to reset the head to neutral tilt. Unlike on their previous video heads the nitro tech has a payload of 17.6 pounds to accommodate mid-sized production cameras, and both the pan and tilt friction adjustments have been improved to be more grippy than previous heads in their lineup. Moving on we have the Free cast Universal, a wireless transmitter and receiver system. the Free cast Universal works with any camera that has an HDMI out allowing you to stream from your camera to any iOS device or monitor that can take an HDMI in.

When transmitting the Free cast Universal has a range of 500 meters and can be powered via their rechargeable batteries or the USB input on each receiver and transmitter. Audios wise you can use audio going directly into your camera or for those who want to use an external microphone the free catch Universal Translator sports a 3.5 millimeter audio input allowing a wide variety of mic solutions currently on the market. Along with monitoring your camera from multiple devices the Free cast can stream live directly to different social media platforms; currently free cast only offers support for YouTube or Facebook, but the company says that they’ll be adding twitch and Instagram Live support among others when they do the full release of the Free cast Universal later this year.

Lastly, we have Syrps new genie 2.

Building on their existing motion control systems for time-lapse and video production, the Genie 2 adds a new pen and tilt head that supports a heavier payload of 5 kilograms and is also much quieter than its predecessor. The Genie 2 is also available in a kit with their new linear drive module which uses a rope system for controlled horizontal movement on nearly any slider on the market. Syrup has also opted for type C charging on the Genie 2, these ports also double as a way to power cameras like Sony’s a7s2 that have less than optimal battery life for time-lapse.

The Genie 2 can be controlled with Syrup’s existing app for the rest of their products or with the hardware buttons on the device for less complicated movement. With other motion control systems on the market getting more complicated, Syrup is striving to keep usability as streamlined as possible allowing creatives to focus on the other challenges of their work instead of worrying about gear and approach that I can appreciate.

So, thank you guys for watching, let me know what your favorite accessory in this roundup was in the comments down below and thanks again to Sennheiser for sponsoring our coverage of NAB 2017.
