Pictorvision Eclipse flies with Fusion 3D

Santa Monica, California - Pictorvision announces that their state-of-the-art aerial system, Eclipse, will fly with the Cameron-Pace Group’s Fusion Aerial 3D system on an upcoming 3D production, carrying digital cinema cameras. The Eclipse first flew HD cameras on the recent 2011 CBS Sports’ Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia.

Pictorvision with Cameron-Pace Group offers the first aerial Fusion 3D system with fully functional, adjustable interocular and convergence capabilities. “We can now support 3D production with ARRI Alexa and RED Epic cameras,” said Tom Hallman, President of Pictorvision.

“The biggest challenge in taking 3D into the air is that the packages are relatively big, heavy, and there is limited space to move the cameras for perfect convergence,” he adds. “It was important to make this happen, so the CPG team stepped up and did the work on their end, customizing their system to fit with our aerial system. The result is a package small and lightweight enough to perform all the 3D functions you expect on the ground – in the air.”

The Pictorvision Eclipse is the most advanced gyro stabilized aerial camera platform available today. The system’s open architecture design and superior engineering allows it to fly with a wide range of film and digital cinema cameras, as well as the new Cameron-Pace Group Fusion Aerial 3D System. It’s the Eclipse’s ability to handle large payloads while maintaining an absolutely level horizon and perfect stabilization that makes it perfect to shoot 3D footage for the big screen.
