Evolution Upgrade and new camera plates for the Freestyle Rig
The latest development is an optional Evolution Upgrade for the Freestyle Rig, which consists of two stronger camera plates designed for heavy camera setups. This Evolution Upgrade modification includes the following features:

• Completely new designed camera adapters to ensure highest stability suitable for heavy camera setups (Alexa, RED, WEISSCAM HS-2 etc.). These adapters are currently used in combination with Arri Alexas e.g. on the current Constantin Production „Musketeers 3D“
• The roll-, tilt- and height-adjustment-mechanisms are much more stable to suit heavy setups.
• Due to the much higher stability the rig’s weight is raised by about 800 grams to 7,5 kg. Thanks to the carbon based design the Freestyle Rig is still more lightweight than the competition!
• The new camera adapters (as well as the older modified lightweight camera adapters) ensure a quick setup, a quick adjustment/calibration and constant stability of settings. This is especially important for broadcast applications.
The Evolution Upgrade ensures a quick setup and calibration process as well as stable alignments for broadcast and digital film applications. A range of ergonomic mounting accessories prepare this rig for steadycam, shoulder, crane and dolly use.

Enhancements and new accessories for 3D Standard Rig
Initially mainly small 2k and HD cameras have been used for 3D productions. That was why P+S TECHNIK designed a very light weight mirror rig with an outstanding cost performance ratio. Since then a professionalization of stereoscopic 3D filmmaking took place at the global level. This is leading to the widespread use of heavy professional cameras for 3D applications. For those who need maximum stability available we are offering a new Diagonal Support for the Standard Rig. This solution has been successfully used during the first German football 3D-HD-Live-Production.
