Screen Plane<br />

Sebastian Cramer, inventor of the Mini Skater Dolly and Screen Plane 3D Rigs, wanted to use zoom lenses on his Red cameras for 3D.<br />

And, he wanted to be able to zoom during the take. For this, proper alignment of lens and camera is crucial, but difficult to achieve. So<br />

he came up with the X-Y mount. Made of carbon and titanium (more resistant to temperature change than aluminum), lens centering<br />

can be adjusted 1mm in any direction, providing a perfect match of both lenses with the camera. (screenplane.com)<br />
