Upcoming SmartCAM SM7-3K-Z monitor for steadicam operations
What the thread found
- The new SmartCAM monitor is manufactured entirely in-house, allowing the developer to control both hardware and software without licensing constraints from external suppliers.
- The monitor weighs approximately 1.4 kilograms and delivers brightness above 3000 nits with a viewing angle close to 180 degrees.
- The monitor will feature both touchscreen and button controls for user interaction.
- The ZEN system will be integrated as an optional software tool mounted on the sled rather than on the monitor itself, potentially improving measurement accuracy.
- The planned retail price is expected to fall between the costs of two existing monitor models at approximately 2500 currency units.
Depends on
- Information comes from prototype stage development with details subject to change before final release.
- Specifications and final feature set were not confirmed as official at time of discussion.
- The ZEN integration approach and final pricing were not definitively announced.
- Account based on informal conversation at a trade show rather than official product documentation.
