DigitalFoto Titan Cart, Ironman Arms, Iceman Camera Coolers, GRIP-X and More (IBC 2024)
Titan Cart
Last year in IBC we saw the DigitalFoto Cinemech line of camera carts. Impressive as they are they are also fairly expensive. This year DigitalFoto was able to introduce a new camera cart that has many of the same features but for about half the price.
The cart is based around a set of 4 poles with adjustable height that allows you to change level of upper deck of in range of 30cm, with 10 cm in-between stages (between 92cm to 122cm).
The cart weighs in at 32kg and can carry up to 300kg, it is made from 2mm thick aluminium and has a working size of 96cm/60cm.
The new Titan cart is available for around $1100.

Ironman Arms
Digitalfoto recently released the Ironman series of monitor arms in 7″ and 11″ variants. The more basic version is the Iron 107 and 111 (7″ and 11″ respectively) with 6kg and 5kg of payload. These are fairly conventional magic arm-style units with a thumbscrew and cold shoe option.
The more interesting in our opinion are the 207Q and 211Q variants with quick release and anti-swivel mechanisms,s (very similar to the iFootage spider Crab arms but less expensive).
Pricing for the arms is from $38 to $99.

STM Swivel and tilt mounts
Another line of products is the STM which includes three different tilt/swivel monitor adaptors. Each one can mount in a different way – NATO clamp, cold show, or 3/8″ (or 1/4″ 20) screw with Arri pins.
All three models have a retractable arri pin on the top and a thumbscrew and are fairly rigid to prevent sagging even when unlocked.
Pricing is between $20 – $30

Iceman SE and Iceman Pro
Another line of products that was shown at IBC was the Iceman. These are small coolers from different brands for mirrorless cameras. Unlike other models from other brands, the Iceman units have a special thermoelectric system with a backplate that gets very cold and has an internal sensor that keeps the temperature at the correct level.
The SE version is powered by USB and the Pro version has an internal battery. Both are meant to be virtually silent one-speed fan devices.
The Iceman SE sells for $33 while the Iceman Pro sells for $55.

GRIP-X Multi-Tool Tripod Handle
Finally, we have the Grip-X. This small but useful handle has a cool secret. If you open the back you can find 10 different bits including flat head, philiphs, and different types of hex bits which you can use with the grip as the handle for the tool.
The grip itself can of course be used as a grip for a cage or as a way to extend the position of the camera for example (when using a mini tripod).
The Grip X sells for around $30.
