Zacuto Unveils New Products for HD Video Cameras at NAB 2007 Convention

Zacuto, a leading provider of high definition cameras and accessories is unveiled its new Z-Release System™ for HD Video Camera accessories at the National Association of Broadcasters NAB 2007 Convention. The Zacuto Z-Release System™ is the new standard for mounting accessories and equipment on HD video cameras that offers the following advantages:

* Quick Release!
* Rock solid stability
* Nothing can loosen or unwind
* Mount or un-mount with the flip of one lever and in seconds
* No more winding expensive monitors onto a screw
* Shorten setup/pack up time
* Save wear and tear on your equipment

“What a great Show!” stated Steve Weiss, head of marketing at Zacuto. “Zacuto USA’s booth was mobbed the entire show and Zacuto accomplished everything it set out to do. We introduced 18 new products in our 54 piece product line. We picked up Zacuto international dealers in the following countries. Finland, Greece, England, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Hungry, Lebanon, India, Australia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Africa, Venezuela, Germany, South Korea, Egypt, France, Spain, Philippines, Italy & Switzerland. We are in discussion with several equipment manufactures to bi-pack Zacuto products with their own products. And our phones are ringing off the hook since we’ve been back.”

“The Zamerican small and large arms were the hottest. Zacuto completely sold out of the Large arms with many rental houses buying large quantities of them. People are hot for Z-Release” (Zacuto quick-release), says Jens Bogehegn, Zacuto product designer.

“The value is clear,” says Joe DeJulius, rental manager Zacuto, “When people can just flip a lever to remove the monitor from the camera, they’ll do it, as opposed to unscrewing it, it protects the gear when they move it and makes the crew faster.” It’s a win-win for both the rental customer and the rental house.”

“It’s the first time we’ve ever seen all of our products in one place and we were creating custom camera packages right on the spot for HVX200’s, Silicon Imaging SI2 cameras and many others. It was really cool to be able to create these setups on the spot,” stated Patrick Fee, Zacuto assembly.
