John Harrington-WHAT WE USE - Kenyon Gyro

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Here's a video segment on the Kenyon Gyro that we use. a transcription of the video is available after the jump.

Hands on instructional video on photography from Assignment Construct.


Transcript:
Hi, I’m John Harrington and we’re going to break out and break down the wide variety of equipment we use to deliver images to our clients. Next we are going to show you one of the equipment kits we use when we are traveling on assignment. Each kit is different and has a very specific purpose. So lets take a look.

On shoots where we’re not steady, whether it’s an unstable platform or its long lenses and slow shutter speeds, we rely on our Kenyon Gyro to steady the shot.

We pack it in a Pelican 1450 Case and it either attaches to the bottom of the camera or the bottom of the lens depending on which system we’re using. The kit is relatively small. The Gyro itself also is relatively small. There are multiple sizes of gyros.

The key with the Gyro is to make sure when its powering up or powering down you don’t have it on a surface because it will chatter around as its trying to steady itself on a flat surface and it could cause damage to the gimble inside.

A well thought out helicopter will actually have a power connection for you to connect the Gyro directly into the helicopters power. If you don’t have that though what you can do is connect into a belt pack battery pack that you where on your belt or if you don’t have a helicopter to plug into out and about.

So this is our Kenyon Gyro.


Below the video is a link to each of the segments, Let me know what you think!

Photography is one of the most important tools in scientific and technical fields. It extends the range of vision, allowing records to be made of things or events which are difficult or impossible to see because they are too faint, too brief, too small.local seo

Kenyon Laboratories has been building the Kenyon Gyro Stabilizer for almost fifty years. Initially designed to keep binoculars steadily on target from a pitching ship, the units are also now used for medium format cameras, cinematographers and even NASA. Using the Gyro Stabilizer on a camera, one can obtain clear crisp shots from unusual situations, from a plane or helicopter our units will dampen out the motor and rotor vibration. When shooting at low light levels one can get large format pictures with slower shutter speeds or slower film , without the encumbrance of a tripod. There can be a lot of <a href="http://www.bookwormlab.com/critique-of-article">critique of article</a> but it's interesting anyway!

I saw the photo around the beginning of the war. This is how I remember it: The child is in the left of the frame, looking right and the the petrol pump is held from the right at the child's temple. The pump represents an executioners gun. It is a constructed photo meant to send the message that the war is for oil. I am doing a photography assignment and would really love to use this photo but I can't find it anywhere! I have tried a number of searches but I guess I'm not doing it right :-( Please help! many thanks Sparklz
