FrAering and the gyrostabilized Shotover K1 camera head
The Shotover K1 and the Arri Family Alexa 65 Reborn, Alexa SXT, and Alexa Mini.
The K1 is an extremely versatile piece of equipment. It can easily work with a large variety of cameras. We typically work with the Arri Alexa, RED or the Sony F55 in any format from 4K, 6K or 8K. The whole range of Arri Alexa cameras can be fitted easily - from the 65mm camera down to the Alexa Mini body.
Typically we use Angénieux or Fujinon lenses, either Spherical or Anamorpic, and most productions like us to film with the 28-340mm Angénieux Optimo zoom or similar. Recently we shot a major French film with the 40-440mm Anamorphic. Verdict of this lens to great success.
One of the great advantages of our Shotover K1 are the included extras that make filming much more simple: the system has a built-in remote controlled motorised pola filter and also a rain spinner for when the weather is not so good.
The setup that has become a basic on the Shotover F1: Arri Alexa Mini with the Angénieux 25-250mm Optimo Style. With its ability to change NDs filters during the flight, and with this versatile optics we offer customers a very practical and better solution.
