Smart and simple design gives SC3: TINY comfort, stability and smooth motion when filming
with your HDSLR solving combat problems such as rolling shutter and shaky clips. SC3: TINY has adjustable shoulder support that makes it possible to change the height of the camera from the chest to eye level. Weighing in at only 330g, you can easily take your SC3: TINY everywhere.

Do you want to take your shooting towards a more professional level? We have developed an expansion kit including Follow Focus (SC3: FFOCUS), one extra 15x200mm Rod, a handle for the left hand side and LCD Loupe from LCDVF.
With this package, your DSLR becomes a really sharp camcorder.

FBI curious about SC

guffe — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 10:04:05 +0000

We just got a funny e-mail from one of our users:

”Hey Guffe

Still incredible happy with the SC. I was arrested by the FBI in Dallas, I stood up through the sunroof of a black Infinity SUV on Illinois plates, and someone thought it was a gun! they were really nice and after a while, with explanations, we were free to go – a little shaky…”

Adidas @ Berlin Marathon

guffe — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 22:14:25 +0000

Swedish Chameleon got the assignment to develop custom GoPro and IPhone head-rigs for Adidas.
The rigs were to be used filming marathon runner’s faces during the Berlin Marathon in September 2011.

The challenge:

Mount 23 GoPros and 1 IPhone on the head of runners that will run more than 40 kilometers for up to 5 hours with the camera in front of their face. It had to be lightweight, comfortable, steady and adjustable.
We tried every solution you can imagine.

The Solution:

We based the final solution on a lamp-rig for orienteer’s on which we attached a lightweight aluminum bow, adjustable for head size and camera angle. To get center of weight on top of the head we put a 4500mah battery pack and some metal weights on the back, it served as a perfect counter weight, stabilizer and power pack. The rig was also equipped with rain protection for the lens and battery.

All runners finished the rigs where intact (but soaking wet) and the response was god, some runners actually beat their personal best.

The IPhone was live streaming during the whole marathon and the GoPros did a great job!

Watch the faces:
