ProductionWorld.net has chosen to work with iOgrapher as the exclusive camera stability system for all upcoming original content series. The iOgrapher devices are designed to turn portable devices, such as iPhones, iPads, GoPro action cameras and Android devices, into full-fledged video production tools. Each device features multiple connection points for tripods, cold shoes for accessories such microphones and lights, options for mounting wide-angle and telephoto lenses, as well as a unique two-handle system for portable shooting.
This two handle system was borne from the need to help students create stable, handheld video without the high cost or complexity of a gimbal-based system. The result, is a light, easy to use, highly-stable system for creating smooth camera moves without a tripod, gimbal or other stabilizer.
“I’ve known Dave (Basulto, Founder and CEO of iOgrapher) for years, and I’ve used many generations of iOgrapher. When covering large events as press it’s been a dream to have a rig as light and stable as an iOgrapher, and the fact that I already had a handful of the devices that worked with the system made switching to iOgrapher simple”, says Russ Fairley, Founder of ProductionWorld.net, “When it came time to launch our new original content series’, there was really only one option I considered. I’ve experimented with using multiple camera formats, expensive lights and microphones, but I’ve always been better at editing and motion graphics than shooting, and the iOgrapher does the best job at making me look good behind the lens.”
Russ continues, “Paired up with portable accessories, I’m free to shoot on a moment’s notice without having to overthink how to produce my ideas. I think them up, and in two minutes the camera is rolling. The fact that an iOgrapher, a portable light and mic setup, as well as a bag to travel with my kit costs less than my last bi-color LED light did doesn’t hurt, either. I use the iOgrapher Backpack to store and travel with my setup, including lights, lenses, mics, a laptop, a tablet, my phone, and some extras, and it lets me just about forget that I’ve got it with me. The idea for a video strikes me, and I think ‘I wish I had a decent camera with me – oh, wait! I do!’. It’s really freed me up, creatively.”
According to iOgrapher Founder and CEO, Dave Basulto, ““we are thrilled to be working with Russ and his team! We can’t wait to see what they create!”
This announcement comes as ProductionWorld.net is preparing to roll out a handful of original video content on this website as well as on the ProductionWorld.net YouTube channel. The multiple series’ will focus on video production and post equipment, hardware and software, post production techniques, and with the exciting addition of products from the music industry there will be a series featuring hardware and software for making music. ProductionWorld.net has a close working relationship with Fender Musical Instruments, and will be featuring their guitars and other stringed instruments heavily.
