The place for the cool people to hang out at NAB this year was clearly the well-stocked bar between the Zacuto and Kessler booths.
The biggest crowds I saw at the show were at GoPro - the most ostentatious displays were at Sony, Canon, Blackmagic and RED - and the Vegas showgirls were at the booths of companies I'd never heard of (which is why the showgirls were there) - but if you wanted to see Philip Bloom holding forth or see Steve Weiss showing a shoulder rig to Vincent Lafloret or meet Eric Kessler, this was the place to be.
I didn't get a chance to meet Phil or Steve or Vincent, but Eric Kessler took a few minutes with HCR to describe some of their latest products and talk a little about Kessler's mission.
I was really impressed by what I saw at the Kessler booth. I've been saving up for a slider and thought about settling for one of the low-end models. But my conversation with Eric convinced me that it would be better to wait a little longer and buy something that will last a lifetime.
If you're in the market for a high quality slider, jib or camera support system - and anything here has helped you to make a decision to buy Kessler products, please visit the Kessler Crane Storefront on Amazon
or click on one of the display ads below. It won't cost you anything extra, and it will help keep posts like this coming. Thanks!
