 Thanks to Sennheiser for sponsoring our NAB 2017 coverage. Learn more about the MKE Elements GoPro microphone and their other audio for video products at the link in the video description. NAB 2017 is well underway, so let's check out our top 5 camera accessories from around the show floor. Starting us off is Sennheiser's MKE 2 Elements. This is a new microphone Sennheiser has made in partnership with GoPro. The microphone uses Sennheiser's MKE 2 capsule and uses a rubber base to prevent vibrations from affecting sound in all the various mounting situations you may face. The mic is omnidirectional and is designed to withstand extreme cold and the wettest environments you could throw at the Hero 4. The mic itself is an IPX7 rating and was recently taken for a spin in various wet environments by Linus in his full review here. Sennheiser is also working on a version of this mic for the Hero 5 that will be coming out soon. Our second accessory in this roundup is from Spyder Holster's newest addition in their lineup of products, the Spyder Lite. Now some of you may know that I've been using Spyder Holster's Black Widow to carry my X-T2 for a while now. The Spyder Lite attempts to improve on the Black Widow's design. It sports an all-metal body with a smaller footprint than its predecessor, as well as a new clip system that makes it easier to put on and remove from your belt, unlike the Black Widow where in order to take it off, you have to remove your belt entirely. Spyder also includes a new and improved plate for your camera that doubles as an Arca-Swiss plate for tripods that use that standard, with the added bonus that this plate can also have a different tripod plate added to the bottom thanks to its quarter 20 thread. Spyder has also added an optional accessory that allows use of the Spyder Lite on a backpack strap for those who travel with backpacks often, a nice addition since I constantly find myself carrying a backpack when traveling. Next up is Manfrotto's new NitroTech Fluid Head. Manfrotto has designed this head with a nitrogen piston in the middle, which may sound a little weird, but it allows for a continuous counterbalance without the need to reset the head to neutral tilt. Like on their previous video heads. The NitroTech has a payload of 17.6 pounds to accommodate mid-size production cameras, and both the pan and tilt friction adjustments have been improved to be more grippy than previous heads in their lineup. Moving on, we have the Freecast Universal, a wireless transmitter and receiver system. The Freecast Universal works with any camera that has an HDMI out, allowing you to stream from your camera to any iOS device or monitor that can take an HDMI in. When transmitting, the Freecast Universal has a range of 500 meters and can be powered via their rechargeable batteries or the USB input on each receiver and transmitter. Audio-wise, you can use audio going directly into your camera, or for those who want to use an external microphone, the Freecast Universal's transmitter sports a 3.5mm audio input, allowing a wide variety of mic solutions currently on the market. Along with monitoring your camera from multiple devices, the Freecast can stream live directly to different social media platforms. Currently, Freecast only offers support for YouTube or Facebook, but the company says that they'll be adding Twitch and Instagram live support, among others, when they do the full release of the Freecast Universal later this year. Lastly, we have Serp's new Genie 2. Building on their existing motion control systems for time-lapse and video production, the Genie 2 adds a new pan and tilt head that supports a heavier payload of 5 kilograms and is also much quieter than its predecessor. The Genie 2 is also available in a kit with their new linear drive module, which uses a rope system for controlled horizontal movement on nearly any slider on the market. Serp has also opted for Type-C charging on the Genie 2. These ports also double as a way to power cameras like Sony's A7S II that have less than optimal battery life for time-lapse. The Genie 2 can be controlled with Serp's existing app for the rest of their products, or with the hardware buttons on the device, for less complicated movement. With other motion control systems on the market getting more complicated, Serp is striving to keep usability as streamlined as possible, allowing creatives to focus on the other challenges of their work instead of worrying about gear, an approach that I can appreciate. So thank you guys for watching! Let me know what your favourite accessory in this roundup was in the comments down below, and thanks again to Sennheiser for sponsoring our coverage of NAB 2017.
