UNIVERSAL TILT & SHIFT & SWING SYSTEM
Freelensing Cine® is a system that leaves the lens virtually suspended in front of the camera sensor allowing the operator a fast and intuitive movement.
It allows for shifts, parallel and perpendicular to the focal plane, rotation of the optical center, and a combination of both pan and tilt movements.
Freelensing Cine® is Art & Technique
It allows to control the focal planes and to choose where to have them in the frame, both to increase the depth of field or to minimize it.
Currently works with ARRI Alexa Mini, Mini LF, 35, Sony Venice 1 & 2, RED V-Raptor XL, V-Raptor and DSMC2, although each camera has its own characteristics.
