Hey guys, Graham Ehlers Sheldon
here from cinema5d.com,
we’re at NAB 2019,
I'm at the Easyrig booth
with none other than Johan,
the creator of the Easyrig himself,
to talk about a couple new
products from Easyrig this year.
So, Johan take it away.
-Yeah, we have two big things now,
we help the Sony Venice camera
to mount it in the back
with our new cheese plate.
So, the cameraman will be able
to shoot very easily
because of the weight is in the back.
Run, Mario, go off!
Okay, second is the floating arm.
Rasmus is working with me
very hard in Sweden,
he is the son of a farmer,
so when he has been working with me,
then he goes there, to the tractor.
So, he built this, make it together,
it’s just floating!
Rasmus, show the American
cameraman how do you run
with the gimbal Ronin 2.
Always the picture is rocksteady,
it is always Rocksteady
when doing with the gimbals.
So you see, the floating arm
and it goes from 11 pounds
to 55 pounds.
So, by turning this,
more power or less power.
And this is something big
on the market now.
-It helps with that up
and down movement.
-Yes, it takes away the steps,
We have been working…
…my chief engineer!
Robert has been working
very hard this winter.
Robert, the American cameraman
wants to know about how
we succeed with the Flow.
What have you done?
I've done some testing videos,
different springs.
Tell them about the machine
where you are testing in the garage.
I have a machine…
…very strong power,
100 pounds down and up,
4000 times.
-I tell you, 4000 times.
-That’s gonna hold up under
constant stress then, yeah.
-No problemo.
This is working great.
-No problem, all right.
Tell me a little bit more
why the Venice?
Why that's specific rig,
it looks kind of cool,
you look a little like a Ghostbuster
when you're doing it.
But did Sony approached you
about building that?
or you guys just took it upon yourself?
No, in the summer during
IBC or somewhere like that,
they told us about this
Venice cameras coming out
the links could be in the front,
so then we started.
It’s easy, you can build
a cheese plate by yourself,
it has to go onto something, so
you need to have some special bracket.
So then we built it and then we
showed it off at Camera Image in Poland
and it was a big success.
So I thought ‘this could be big’
and now, you know,
now the global TV in South America
has really told me
that they will go for the
Sony Venice cameras,
so we have to increase our building,
to build the Sony cheese plate.
-Not only beyond, obviously,
South America,
but I think James Cameron is making
a couple little movies called Avatar
using the same exact setup.
-Oh, that's good, we are
in good company then.
-Yes, you are in good company.
One of the things I always liked
about you Johan
is I just get to hand you the mic
and you just take over,
that’s the best part,
you make it really easy.
Well, you know I've been working
for Swedish television 30 years,
so, I go out with the car and…
…last ten years, you have
to do the interview yourself,
record and then go over…
So, now we go over to see
my ambassador in U.S.,
my U.S. ambassador.
Brad, tell the story about the Easyrig,
is it good or bad?
-Oh, I think it's the best camera
invention ever made,
I’ve been using it for 18 years and
we’ve got to be friends years ago
and working with you ever since.
so, Johan and I work closely together,
we help work on development
of products together,
come to the show, work together.
And the best tool I've ever found…
-So, you see what I do,
I go out of my car and
then grab my camera
and I will be one-man band.
-Thank you so much, Johan,
Can you do me a favor?
Can you look into the lens and say:
‘thank you for watching, cinema5d.com,
stay tuned for more coverage from NAB’.
Can you do that, you want to do that?
-Yes, I’ll try.
-Okay, well, you took the mic,
this is what happens,
here you go, stay tuned to
cinema5d.com, thanks for watching,…
-Stay... no, I can’t!
