The Black Arm Tilta is a must-have when it comes to machinery equipping cars and it is available for hire at French production Service in Marseille, in partnership with Sunsetcam!
Indeed, belonging to the stabilizer family, the Tilta Shock Absorbing Arm is a suspension. Just like a car suspension, this device perfectly absorbs and cancels vibrations to ensure optimal fixity of the camera attached to it. This arm is a heavy machine that attaches to different types of rigs such as a car, a roller or even a motorcycle. However, it requires special tubes to be installed, strong and strong 40mm pipes.
Its efficiency is proportional to the speed of the vehicle on which it is attached. Thus, it is more optimized to be installed on a car for shots with tracking vehicles or directly on the play car if the appropriate machinery is installed on the latter. In addition, it does not work like a conventional stabilizer, it only cancels out vibrations, so you need another stabilizer at the end (like a RONIN for example) to guarantee perfect stability and continue to be able to pan and more. movements. It costs 350 € HT / day for rental.
At French Production Service, in partnership with Sunsetcam, we also have a RONIN 2 which can be perfectly suited to use with this Black Arm, as well as several cameras such as an ARRI ALEXA Mini LF for example which can be added to this configuration for perfect cinema quality.
