C'est Cannes! If you want to make a splash at Cannes, book a ballroom at the exclusive Majestic Hotel. Introduce the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4P.
Pourquoi Cannes? DJI says, "By unveiling the Osmo Pocket 4P at one of the most prestigious places in global filmmaking, DJI signals a bold evolution of the Pocket series from a creator tool into a cinematic imaging device capable of professional-grade storytelling."
The Osmo Pocket 4P is a small, dual lens, 3-axis gimbal stabilized camera system with 10-bit D-Log2 internal recording. More details to follow. @djiglobal@dji@dji_ronin
YOUNG SHERLOCK is the episodic origin story developed by Peter Harness and Guy Ritchie, who also directed two episodes. Earlier, Mr. Ritchie directed SHERLOCK HOLMES (2009) and SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS (2011), both starring Robert Downey, Jr. The game is afoot in this new series distributed by Amazon Prime Video. A larcenous 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes is whisked off to Oxford in an effort to keep him out of trouble. Trouble comes quickly when he befriends young James Moriarty. There’s enough action and intrigue to fill the entire season with chase scenes, a stolen Chinese scroll, fights, stunts, adventure, Paris, Istanbul...Mark Patten, BSC was the cinematographer on the entire YOUNG SHERLOCK series. @Skynamic https://fdtimes.us/holmes

This is the tiny, Inkie-like, battery-powered COB LED fixture first shown as a not-so-secret prototype at BSC Expo. It just launched and will be at NAB.
The new NANLUX Evoke 5C is their smallest professional spotlight.
It measures a mere 5.6×4.4×4.5 cm / 2.2×1.73×1.77" and weighs only 160 g/5.64 oz. You can use Evoke 5C handheld, mounted, rigged or discreetly hidden in plain sight.
It draws 5W and at 1m delivers 496 Lux (46 Footcandles) bare bulb or 2828 Lux with a Spot Beam Lens. Use the 5C hidden behind a candle for a low light restaurant scene, to highlight a product logo, add an accent light, project a gobo pattern or backlight someone in a car.
Visit NANLUX at NAB Booth C5925.
Canon CINE-SERVO 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8 Zoom
You climb a mountain because it’s there. Canon makes a new lens because they can. And probably when users ask. Clearly, cinematographers were calling to go wider and tighter. Canon introduces the new CINE-SERVO 40-1200mm T5.0-10.8 zoom lens in PL or RF Mount. That’s a zoom range of 30x. @canonusa@canoncinemaeos

ARRI has been acquired by Thomas Riedel, founder and owner of Riedel Communications and the Riedel Group. fdtimes.us/arri-riedel
As I sailor, I've admired the great video and audio coverage of SailGP high speed "F1 on the water" races. The reason has been the same Thomas Riedel, co-owner of the SailGP Germany Team with F1 champion Sebastian Vettel.
Both ARRI and the Reidel Group are family-owned. ARRI was founded in 1917 by classmates August Arnold and Robert Richter on Tuerkenstrasse in Munich .
Thomas Riedel founded Riedel Communications in 1987 in Wuppertal, Germany. The story goes that he started with five walkie-talkies. Today, with more than 1000 employees, Riedel operates from 30 locations worldwide. They are a major manufacturer, distributor and rental company of video, audio and data equipment for live entertainment, sports, broadcast, events, etc. In addition to SailGP, that includes the Olympics, Red Bull, Eurovision, etc. @arri
