Arri unveils Artemis 2 Live camera stabiliser
Arri has introduced the Artemis 2 Live, a compact and lightweight camera stabiliser optimised for live productions such as sports and event broadcasts. Providing an accessible entry-point into Arri’s Camera Stabilizer Systems (CSS) range, Artemis 2 Live is modular and upgradeable, allowing users to adapt their rig to different production demands and career pathways.
Artemis 2 Live combines operational flexibility with ergonomic, minimalist design. A short post gives users more legroom and greater freedom to follow the fast, unpredictable action of live productions, even in tight spaces. New lightweight monitor brackets have been specially designed for live applications, with the base mount and monitor jockeys accommodating 7in monitors from brands including Transvideo, Smart Systems, and SmallHD. A second bracket supports the 5in ‘on air’ monitor often used on live production rigs.
Arri is offering the Artemis 2 Live in a number of ready to shoot sets, providing everything needed to integrate the stabiliser into live production environments. Among them is an option that allows Artemis 2 Live to be easily and effectively combined with a Tiffen Volt gimbal. With its modular system structure, the stabiliser adapts to different power sources, making it simple to match whatever batteries are available at the shooting location and whatever camera is being used on the rig.
Artemis 2 Live components are interchangeable with those of Arri’s cine-style stabilisers and embody the same quality standards. The needs of EFP workflows are met with features such as Tally and LBus, allowing hybrid lens control of both ENG and cine zoom lenses.
Users can upgrade their Artemis 2 Live to a fully featured Artemis 2 for film and drama productions, or even to a Trinity 2, incorporating electronic stabilisation for high-end applications involving more complex camera moves. And since brackets and accessories are compatible across the entire CSS product range, Artemis 2 and Trinity 2 owners can shrink-fit their rig to a live configuration with the help of an Artemis 2 Live Conversion Kit.
