Since the Dude has learned to stay away from the more popular (and extremely crowded) booths on opening day, here is some off-the-beaten track pictures.
There were many remote control helicopters this year at NAB, but this one was the most spectacular. Over 6 feet long, and looking military-grade, this is the remote helicopter to end all remote helicopters.
Zeiss unveiled their new CP.2 zoom lens - a telephoto 70-200mm. Available in November 2012 for only $19,999. At this price, you can afford two!
I only did some of the lighting booths Monday, but this was the most interesting light I saw - the Zylight F8 LED fresnel. Combing a powerful LED engine with a fresnel face, this light is weather proof and is focusable. Has rubber bellows! Shipping in July for $2000.
Now this is a mixing board! Mmm... faders. Lots of faders.
For tomorrow's post, off to the South Hall, which is post-production centric.
