A mazingly, Definition hasn’t really looked at the subject of large-movement gear for a while. We decided to base our Gear Group on the subject but had to decide where we started and finished. If you talk to the large, non-telescopic arm guys they will say that their arms will imitate a drone, will act like a small, handheld gimbal, and with the right vehicle will give you breathtaking, stabilised footage at speed. As you can imagine, those claims are refuted by other engineering companies who evolve their machinery to achieve similar shooting situations. So what’s new? Well, you’re always going to have competition and back-chatting, but what is new is the level of engineering involved that can offer you whatever shot you can imagine and is often repeatable. There are now contactless braking systems from companies like Idea Vision, and Panther’s new S-Type dolly is a feat of supreme engineering, with its negative distance arm technology. The trackless and tracked robots are also on their way – and we even found a new one in Hungary. Perhaps, though, it’s only a matter of time before a company like DJI joins that market. WELCOME
