The Tiffen Company, a renowned leader in the film and video industry, has been honored with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering, Science & Technology. The prestigious accolade recognizes the company's groundbreaking development of the Steadicam® Volt, a revolutionary electronic stabilization technology that is transforming the way camera operators capture smooth, consistent, and level shots.

Elevating the Art of Cinematic Storytelling

The Steadicam Volt is a game-changing innovation that empowers camera operators to achieve previously unattainable levels of stability and control. Mounted on a Steadicam or other camera stabilizer, the Volt utilizes advanced gyroscopic and accelerometer technology to counteract unwanted camera movements, ensuring a level horizon and eliminating the impact of external forces such as wind or high-acceleration camera movements.

Effortless Stabilization for Dynamic Shots

Capturing smooth, cinematic footage during high-intensity camera movements, such as running or fast lateral movements, has long been a challenge for even the most skilled operators. The Steadicam Volt revolutionizes this process, allowing camera operators to focus less on managing inertial influences and more on framing and interacting with the dynamic shooting environment. This enhanced control and stability enables them to produce better-framed shots, elevating the overall quality and artistry of their work.

Empowering Operators to Reach New Creative Heights

The Steadicam Volt's innovative technology frees camera operators from the constraints of traditional stabilization methods, allowing them to explore new creative possibilities. By reducing the need to constantly monitor and adjust the camera's position, operators can devote more attention to the storytelling, reacting to the changing environment, and capturing the perfect shot. This enhanced creative freedom unlocks a new realm of cinematic expression, enabling filmmakers to push the boundaries of what is possible.

A Collaborative Effort Recognized by the Industry

The Emmy Award for the Steadicam Volt is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Tiffen Company's product development team, which includes renowned industry pioneers such as Garrett Brown, the inventor of the Steadicam. The award was accepted by engineer Steve Wagner on behalf of the team, which also includes Jerry Holloway, Robert Orf, Ty Hargroder, Andrew Tiffen, and Steven Tiffen."We are thankful to the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for their recognition of Steadicam Volt's contribution to the industry," says Andrew Tiffen, President and COO of The Tiffen Company. "This award is made possible by our entire team here at Tiffen and the thousands of operators around the world who choose to help tell stories with Steadicam."The Steadicam Volt's recognition by the prestigious Emmy Awards underscores its transformative impact on the film and television industry. By empowering camera operators to capture smoother, more consistent footage, this innovative technology is redefining the art of cinematic storytelling and paving the way for a new era of visual excellence.
