Stephen Campanelli and His Nexus and AR System on ‘Changeling’
The heart of the MK-V AR system is the Deluxe Nexus.
The MK-V Revolution System has 3 main versions:
The Revolution System is MK-V’s flagship innovation. We are taking body mounted camera stabilization to the next level by providing operators with a way of producing shots never seen before.
The Revolution was conceived as the Manual Revolution (M-R), and provided for super quick changes between high and low mode by using the camera’s weight to re-balance the sled.
The 2nd variation of the Revolution System is the Powered Revolution (P-R), which can be used as a 3rd axis or rollover on any head, or as a part of an existing motion control system, (like the Mark Roberts Ulti-Head) enabling exact control over the angle of the camera and allowing the same movement to be repeated time after time.
The top of the range system is the Auto-leveling Revolution System (A-R). This gives Operators the ability to shoot from ground level to 8 feet, and Automatically change modes in less than a second. The camera and monitor are stabilized, no matter the angle of the sled. The A-R and Nexus Systems are leading the way in which body mounted camera stabilization is defined – Operators are finding new and unique ways of creating shots that were once impossible, and allowing a whole new way of moving the camera and telling the story.

As you no longer have to keep the sled vertical by your side.
You can now operate the sled at any angle across your body, making low mode noticeably more comfortable while maintaining the monitor in front of you for easy viewing, thus minimising fatigue.
