Description

Freefly Systems KipperTie Revolva FE/PL

The Freefly Systems KipperTie Revolva FE/PL is a highly advanced and versatile lens mount adapter system specifically designed for Freefly Ember S5K and Ember S25K high-speed cinema cameras. It integrates a robust PL mount (the industry-standard for professional cinema lenses) with KipperTie’s innovative Revolva quick-change filter system, providing seamless lens compatibility and rapid, built-in ND filtration.

The Revolva FE/PL addresses a critical need for high-speed camera operators: the ability to quickly swap between cinema-quality PL lenses and instantly adjust neutral density (ND) filtration without interrupting the flow of a demanding shoot. This system combines precision engineering with practical functionality, making it an indispensable tool for achieving cinematic results with the Ember camera.

Key features and benefits of the Freefly Systems KipperTie Revolva FE/PL include:

• Integrated PL Mount: Provides a secure and optically precise PL (Positive Lock) mount for the Freefly Ember cameras, allowing access to the vast array of professional cinema PL lenses available on the market.
• Revolva Filter System Integration: Features a dedicated slot for KipperTie Revolva Cartridges (sold separately). These cartridges contain sets of four cinema-quality ND filters (or clear) that can be instantly rotated or swapped out, eliminating the need for bulky matte boxes for ND filtration.
• Rapid Filter Changes: The Revolva system enables lightning-fast, tool-less filter changes by simply spinning the integrated filter wheel or quickly swapping out an entire cartridge. This is crucial for dynamic shooting environments and high-speed cinematography where light control is paramount.
• Precision Optics and Back Focus: Designed with meticulously placed optical baffles and internal flare traps to ensure pristine image quality and minimize unwanted reflections or flare. The PL mount is individually shimmed and calibrated at the factory for accurate back focus, ensuring sharp focus across various lenses. User shimming is also supported.
• Robust and Durable Construction: Crafted from high-grade, precision-machined aerospace-grade aluminum and hardened stainless steel. This robust build ensures durability, longevity, and stability for heavy professional use.
• Secure Camera Attachment: Mounts directly to the Freefly Ember’s proprietary 4-bolt lens mount, providing a rock-solid and reliable connection that maintains the camera’s precise flange focal distance.
• Streamlined Rigging: By integrating ND filters directly into the lens mount, the Revolva FE/PL significantly reduces the camera’s overall footprint, simplifying rigging, especially when operating on gimbals, drones, or in confined spaces.

The Freefly Systems KipperTie Revolva FE/PL is a transformative Ember camera accessory that combines a high-quality PL lens mount adapter with an incredibly efficient integrated ND filtration system. It is an essential tool for professional cinematographers seeking to maximize the versatility, speed, and image quality of their Freefly Ember high-speed camera in demanding production environments.
