Swedish Chamelon DSLR Rig Looks Sexy As Hell

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 12:11 PM PDT


I’m a sucker for these setups. All the chrome, the bars, the rails, the pads, the cables — whenever I see my friend’s RED setup in full gear it always amazes me how he finds his way around the thing. The same applies to these gorgeous, but complicated-looking DSLR setups from Swedish Chameleon, made to minimize the size of the rig while maximizing functionality.

Our friend Willie pointed us in the direction of these guys, and he also notes that his site did an interview with the creator, which I’ve embedded below despite the fact that it’s in Swedish. You still get an idea of what’s going on, how it’s set up, and so on.

The fact is I’m pretty ignorant of the actual qualities these rigs need, but this looks like a hell of a nice one from what I’ve seen. Price is of course very high — the basic kit costs around $3500 (18995 Danish Krone is the quoted price at one e-tailer). I think once I bought it and set it up, I’d just take pictures of it all day instead of using it.

[thanks for the tip, Willie. See you in January.]

Contest: For You, My Friend, An Epson WorkForce 635

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 05:41 AM PDT

What could be better on a fine morning like this than an Epson WorkForce 635 all-in-one printer. This printer does it all, including scan, fax, print, and solve many of the world’s pressing problems including global warming, Mideast Peace, and how to get the fine hairs of a Jack Russell’s fur out of a wool coat.

Take your productivity to new heights with the WorkForce 635, the all-in-one that brings you the world’s fastest one- and two-sided print speeds in its class1, automatic, two-sided printing / copying, and a two-sided Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). Blazing through critical tasks at speeds of 15 ISO ppm (black) and 7.2 ISO ppm (color), the WorkForce 635 uses 127 Extra High-capacity Black ink, so you get 2x more prints per cartridge, which means less time spent replacing cartridges.

How do you win? Oh, I think you know.

Comment below describing the joy you will feel as you unbox this printer. Will you squeal? Will you dance? We want to know. We’ll close comments on Monday at Noon New York time and pick one winner. What a treat!

Thanks to Epson for hanging out with us at the Rec Center when all the other kids went to play kickball.

Hanging With Nexi, The Friendly Face-Loving Robot

Posted: 16 Oct 2010 05:27 AM PDT


Nexi is kind of old news but she’s getting some new friends in the form of a Mark III robot that is being built at MIT’s Media Lab. Nexi here follows your eyes and can sense who you are via RFID. She is very scary.
