My good friends at SteadyVision (Shane and Justin) have just launched brand new website (www.steadyvision.info) with the flagship product – SteadyVision,- a new exciting way to Control and Support any Video or Digital SLR camera for all your filming on the go.
Needless to say, whenever you end up doing any professional filming for any kind of event, you aim to keep your shots to be, well…. steady. Regardless of your experience and your ninja abilities to keep your shots perfect, its not an easy task, – ask any professional camera person.

This is where SteadyVision comes to play. The concept has been developed to make up for the need of such tool among professional videographers  to keep the video or camera shots steady and versatile at the same time and with the use of holding  SteadyVision frame, your results will speak for themselves.

I have had the pleasure of using SteadyVision and have been very impressed with its ability to allow video capture to flow smoothly due to the balanced design and easy grip. Scope of interesting angles that can add extra fun to your video filming is one of the main reasons to get your hands on this product along with sets and sets of possible configurations. Brilliant to say the least!

Using STEADY VISION will maximise freedom of movement and versatility of angles.

So what is STEADY VISION? (from SteadyVision.info website)

Designed to suit most digital video cameras and also the new range of Digital SLR’s, STEADY VISION is perfect for most filming situations. STEADY VISION will add professional flexibility to any camera.

STEADY VISION is lightweight, durable and versatile. Based around a high quality Monopod, STEADY VISION provides both enthusiasts and professional videographers with a whole new creative filming platform.

Some of the best video footage has been obtained using a tripod. However, there are some circumstances where using a tripod can be difficult, if not impossible. This is where STEADY VISION gives you the freedom to move around while maintaining control of your camera.

STEADY VISION is perfect for most filming situations and has been used extensively at concerts, festivals, sporting events, documentaries, special occasions and much more.

STEADY VISION’S design will assist you to expand your creative horizons by increasing your ability to use different camera techniques. The design will allow you to use accessories such as lights and microphones mounted at the top of the STEADY VISION on the Accessory Bar. Your camera remains uncluttered providing ease of operation.

Designed to suit most digital video cameras and also the new range of Digital SLR’s, STEADY VISION will add professional flexibility to any camera.

In addition to all these virtues, STEADY VISION is a very stable filming platform.

This got to be one of the most exciting events that has hit Cairns in a while yet. With upcoming release of – “Expansion Pack” compiled by Ian Woodsman which is all set to be launched this Saturday (31st of July 2010) at the Heritage in Cairns.

After numerous months of research & development, Open Records are finally ready to present Expansion Pack, a 2-disc collection of deep, intelligent, genre-mashing dance music, all held together with a distinctly staunch, epic sound similar to that of which I pride myself on delivering in my DJ sets.

From international heavyweights like Matador, Erphun, Boris Brejcha, Pow-Low, Fiord, SQL, NDSA, Weekend Heroes, Perfect Stranger, Astronivo, Sheff, MUTe, Grouch and A. Balter, through to home grown Aussie favourites like SunControlSpecies, Sensient, One Tasty Morsel, Waltone, Blinky, Def Digital and Algenon, the music of Expansion Pack sits at the point where techno, progressive and minimal meet and is proof that quantity and quality can co-exist without compromise.

Through the night you can experience seeing some of the finest Open Records artists featuring: Funkform, Drewan, Adam Giardina, Suspect, Woodsman and of course A. Balter(Israel) who will play 3 hour live set (his first on the Australian Tour). With two additional rooms from Freakquency Records “Subconsious Saturdayze”, you sure up for a treat of sounds and visuals with some of the finest local and international talents to make your night really special.
