BIRTV 2013: LPT Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera cage and brushless gimble for less than $2K from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
LPT (also known as LanParte) is a Chinese rig maker that has become known for making reasonably priced rigs and accessories. Originally their parts were to be found online on auction sites like Ebay but more recently they have been distributed more widely in the West. Like many other rig makers they were showing a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera cage at the BIRTV show in Beijing. This cage is still a prototype and the company say it will change significantly before release.
Also on show was a prototype of their low cost Brushless gimbal stabiliser system which they claim will sell at less than $2000 US. I have no idea how good this will be as they did not have a working system on show. It seems like there isn’t a day that goes by without another manufacturer launching a low cost brushless gimbal.
