I have been working on my edit from Key West shot with Kessler Crane products<\/a>, mostly notably the amazing Pocket Jib and a very special Pocket Dolly which I will talk about soon. It’s been taking forever to do as I have been so busy in the US doing shoots and workshops but it is almost finished.<\/p>\n

Whilst in Key West I had a good play around with Kessler Crane’s Revolution pan and tilt head.<\/a> It’s a robotic head that can be used at the end of jibs, for remote operation or for just getting perfectly accurate moves. It’s a joy to use and robust as hell. It survived the elements for many days in the Florida rain whilst doing timelapses but I also did some normal real time shots with it to test out just how smooth it is…and it is…as smooth as a baby’s bottom!! The movement I got from it with my 5DmkII was just perfect…it can take full size cameras as well as my baby! \u00a0Using the same Oracle controller that I use with my pocket dolly and cineslider it controls both the motor in real time and in timelapse mode. The head and oracle together cost $1795. For what they do this is bloody cheap. I work with Eric and he is a very close friend so I am biased but I wouldn’t rave about something if it sucked, it would just come back to bite me in the arse! The head on it’s own is $995. You can buy them from the Kessler Crane website by clicking any of the images or here…<\/a>I have the head on my Miller Solo sticks.<\/p>\n

Here are a few test shots I did with the Revolution head…<\/p>\n
