Exhibition of the new SLR video shooting support rig series "SYMPLA": ISO, iris and color temperature settings are also possible with the world's first electric follow focus

Manfrotto exhibited their new SYMPLA series. These are support rigs for shooting videos with a SLR camera. At the venue, there was a demonstration of their MAT BOX and telephoto lens support kit. In existing rigs, there are many cases in which complex equipment is required with a great number of parts, but in the SYMPLA series, the number of parts required is low and a simple product structure has been realized.

MAT BOX has easy operability by using rubber-made bellows. The major feature is that the world's first electric follow focus has been developed in contrast to other firms which use a geared follow focus. This series makes it possible to have electric focus, REC and autofocus, and in the deluxe version, users can also control the ISO, iris and color temperature of the camera.
