New Advancements at Nettmann Systems

Nettmann System's engineers are working overtime these days on product enhancements, new stabilized heads and R&D that will revolutionize the camera support industry. We are currently retooling our manufacturing line to build lighter, stronger, more agile stabilized remote heads than anything else on the market, developing a secondary product line of our own, commercial off the shelf (COTS) Motor Amplifiers and Vertical Gyros, and continuing our passion of stabilizing the creativity of the Aerial DP, with our new helicopter mount, the Super-G. It is the film industry's only helicopter mount with steerable roll and the ability to accept any camera, from Eymo-to IMAX..

Cam-Remote - The Most Popular Head in the Industry

We are seeing a resurgence of the popularity of the Cam-Remote. These
units are for sale, and we have 11 left in inventory. Customers tell us
that the Cam-Remote is bullet proof in mechanical and electrical design.
Unlike the more modern remote control heads by our competitors, that
rely on digital computer circuitry, the Cam-Remote's analog design is
not subject to sudden shutdowns during important takes. It does not have
to be rebooted, and does not need diagnostic checks after restart. In
addition to the Cam-Remote’s reliability, the analog circuitry gives
much smoother moves at the end of a long lens and not steppy as
manifested by digital control circuitry of competitive heads. Please
call us for more information on these heads for sale.

Stab-C Saves Production

The unreliability of the software and digital control circuitry of the competition’s system have been brought to our attention. Just the other day the electronics of a new stabilized head were radiating into the circuitry of Panavision's Genesis Camera. This problem caused the complete shutdown of the production until our Stab-C was rushed to the location.

Our stabilization electronics are completely passive and non-invasive to the Genesis camera or any Hi-Def camera on the market. We have shot numerous times very successfully with this next generation Panavision camera, including the aerials for the upcoming movie "Flyboys." This long shoot in Europe using our new helicopter mount, the Super-G and the Panavision Genesis Camera, was a crowning achievement for our company.
