External monitor to work with comfort
When filming with DSLR and CSC cameras, external monitors and crucial. It is especially difficult to judge the sharpness on small camera monitors. A large display and a focus assistant (peaking) zebra marking for over-exposed areas are important aids and are often essential for obtaining quality, professional films.
IPS LCD display with full HD resolution
IPS LCD displays are suitable for recording films thanks to their high level of colour precision and strong colour representation. IPS technology (In-Plane Switching) reduces the image angle dependency of the contrast. This means that colours and contrast change less, even if the image angle changes.
Software assistants for technical support
The walimex pro Director III has all current assistants to help you when filming. A focus assistant reproduces contrast edges in colour. This feature helps to produce tracking shots faster and more accurately. The zebra setting marks overexposed areas. The sensitivity of the brightness display can be set at 5 % steps. A histogram can also be used to check the distribution of areas of brightness. To monitor the sound signal, a volume display can be attached. The incoming sound signal can be monitored via a 3.5 mm jack socket.
Acoustic feedback of the sound signal
Feedback can occur if a loudspeaker echoes the signal of a microphone and at the same time the microphone records this signal again. The signal is increased, reproduced via the loudspeaker and there is an electro-acoustic loop. The walimex pro Director III has a loudspeaker box to reproduce filmed recordings acoustically at the same time. During the filming process, the Director III offers the following features to prevent feedback: 1. Turn to the volume of the monitor to "zero". 2. In the menu, turn the "mute" switch to "on". 3. Use a headset. 4. Make sure there is enough space between the monitor and the microphone (external).
Swivel arm and anti-twist lock
The set comprises a Magic 18 swivel arm and a walimex pro anti-twist lock. The walimex pro swivel arm anti-twist lock prevents the swivel arms becoming loose because of the lever action on the joint between a ¼ screw and the hole.
Simple and safe assembly
The lower part of the anti-twist safeguard can be attached simply with two 1/4 inch screws (provided) to a rig or cage. The adapter is made so that the swivel arm can be attached to other surfaces, if desired, such as to wood or concrete. Two elongated holes ensure that the holes can be spread at varying distances from each other. The swivel arm is screwed into the 1/4 inch inner thread of the anti-twist safeguard using its 1/4 inch threaded bolts and can also be fixed with the wing bolt provided.
The upper part of the anti-twist safeguard is fixed in place once the swivel arm has been screwed in using an Allen key, too. An Allen key has been provided. Accessories that have to be assembled on the swivel arm are placed on the accessory slot, and simply attached using a 1/4 inch screw. It is no longer necessary to laboriously screw the accessories on to the swivel arm. The screw has recesses so that it can be tightened with the Allen key. Additionally, a rubber plate on the accessory slot prevents slipping.
Made in Germany
The walimex pro swivel arm anti-twist safeguard was designed and made in Germany with the utmost level of precision. Continuous quality inspections ensure the very best quality and durability, even when used continuously in tough conditions.
