At the 2015 PhotoPlus Expo in Manhattan, New York, HDProGuide.com and HD Pro Guide Magazine visit Levi Wallace at the Syrp exhibit (booth #663). Levi demonstrates two different Syrp setups, with and without using a tripod, and combining the Syrp Magic Carpet and Genie. He also shows us the Genie Mini (motion control in your pocket) and Syrp Variable ND Filter kit for DSLR filmmaking and photography.
The Magic Carpet is designed and engineered with the filmmaker in mind and is a lightweight solution for manual tracking shots which comes motion control ready. With quick release adjustable legs, a counter weight roller for vertical shots, and high precision ball bearing rollers, the Magic Carpet is ready for quick setup and precision filmmaking.
The Genie is a simple, portable solution for motion control time-lapse and real-time video. Designed to be part of your regular camera kit, with no external wires, batteries or controllers there’s no need to go without the option of motion control again. The key to the Genie lies in its compact size, easy-to-use menu and extreme versatility. Rather than limiting yourself to a fixed length rail system or slider, simply attach the Genie to your existing professional gear or DIY equipment for smooth motion control time-lapse and real-time video control.
