New Accessory Packs Simplify Broadcast Integration
- Audio accessory Pack
Makes it easier to use the DigiBoom live with field reporters using stick mics or lavs. The accessory pack includes lightweight audio cables and mounting points for wireless receivers and audio mixers.
Ambient and reporter audio sources are added and balanced and included into the video stream, eliminating sync issues.
- Live Broadcast Expansion Pack
This pack enables fast and easy integration into live broadcasts. Purpose-built SDI cabling offers standard connectivity while being lightweight and flexible enough not to interfere with DigiBoom’s gimbal stabilization.
“We’ve spent the last year working closely with live broadcasters and productions with national audiences,”said James Hurd, President of Redrock Microsystems. “DigiBoom has evolved into a fully developed camera movement platform that is fast becoming a staple of news, sports, and events for years to come. These new accessories and options really match what customers have told us they want to maximize the effectiveness of DigiBoom.”

DigiBoom adds cinematic shots to live and pre-recorded news, sports, and events. DigiBoom can place and move the camera from ground level to over 8’ (up to 12’ with the optional extension) and everywhere in between while the full-time powered gimbal keeps shots smooth and steady.
Operators can use the DigiBoom to create sweeping camera moves or place cameras into unusual point-of-views for maximum visual impact, including:
- Reaching any target, moving quickly, and getting angles that were previously unimaginable
- Getting above the scrum in a crowded field including places where tripods or handheld aren’t practical.
- Positioning in front of, above, below, or around any obstacles with total control of camera angle and movement.
