If this video doesn’t make you cringe, nothing will. In the middle of what looks to be a presentation at Cine Gear Expo, user error occurred and disaster struck. Instead of showing off the amazing capabilities of a powerful stabilizing rig, a $70K camera smashed to the ground instead.
It’s not entirely clear from the video, but it looks to be a presentation (although it could have been someone “trying the gear out”) and the camera attached to the stabilizer looks to us like an ARRI Alexa XT. This camera starts in the $70K range but can easily run up to $100K depending on how you decide to customize it.
Well, hopefully these guys didn’t customize theirs too much because we’re not entirely sure the camera survived this fall:
Here’s another look at the moment of truth, when the operator made the mistake of letting the arm go out too far from his body, while leaning back at the same time.
And now, a moment of silence for the murdered gear.
