Blue Handle Kit

The Blue Handle is a great addition to Blue Planet's Camera Department. Created to enable extra stability

for hand held work, the Blue Handle Kit is made from light weight aliminuim. The handles,

fit, via a cross bar, onto 12mm light weight bars. Once fitted, the unit gives options to the operator and can greatly

reduce strain on long hand held stints.

The Easy Rig

The Easy Rig Portable Camera Support is the ultimate piece of kit for reducing strain on an operatoes neck and shoulder

muscles.Designed to help in hand held work,the Easy Rig fits over the operators head, via a back brace. A retractible

wire attaches to the camera, completely taking the strain off the operators shoulder.

The powerful suspention wire will easily accept the new lightweight digital cameras and the heavier professional Betacams.

The Easy Rig lets the cameraman move from "shoulder work" to "off the hip" in one

easy move.  Easy to assemble, the EasyRig is as simple to get on or off as a rucksack.

The Wally Dolly is the most versitile and affordable dolly available in the UK. It allows the camera operator to

have complete control of each dolly move as no assistant or grip is required.

The Wally Dolly comes complete with a 3 metre track system and is ideal for use on varnished or

delicate flooring . This unique track system is made of aluminium and each section screws

together, this then sits on a padded material underlay. Assembled it provides a ultra

smooth tracking motion. The Wally Dolly kit also includes a hi hat attachment for low tracking

shots, this fits directly onto the Wally Dolly and has a 100mm bowl.
