MACRO & MICRO FILMING

Dark field macro bench

Our macro/micro facility - designed to achieve higher, vibration free magnifications of up to x 50.  It's also designed to work either horizontally or vertically.

We can use micro Nikkor and Leitz Photar lenses with excellent results or for higher magnifications we use Nikon CF Plan objectives with longer working distances (160TL)

A special feature of the bench is the motorised control of all camera movements (X Y + Z axes, plus rotation). 

 

The profiles for these can be precisely adjusted for ramping, mid-shot variations etc. and can be reloaded for repeats as necessary.

If you'd like more information, please contact Geoff on 07887 778922 or contact us at mail@ibexfilms.co.uk

MOTION TRACKING UNITS

lightweight aluminium alloy rail

1.5 to 6 metre lengths available

suitable for both DSLR and full weight cameras

2 types of drive motor available

 

TYPE 1  DIRECT DRIVE FOR FAST REAL TIME TRACKS

optional joystick for analog speed control

remote radio control of the unit

remote operation of the camera utility over a wireless link

Using RED camera on motion track
Canon 5D on rotary timelapse drive

TYPE 2  STEPPER MOTOR DRIVE FOR 

timelapse

controlled movement

jerk free start

accurate repeatable camera moves

laptop controllable via dedicated software  (through USB link)

profiles designed on the laptop can be stored in the motor controller (up to 8 or optionally 16 separate proflies can be stored

multiple stepper motors can be controlled simultaneously

(each needs its own controller)

PC control offers accurate adjustment of:

jerk free start characteristics

rate of acceleration

target speed

directional number of repeats

graphical representation of profile

selectable units - degrees, millimetres and steps

easy removal of the stepper motor drive from the track rail means it can also be used as a stand alone unit for rotary timelapse (pan or tilt)
