Published: MEA
MENA: Argosy will now represent specialist broadcast camera crane manufacturer Polecam Ltdin the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Initially Argosy will stock Polecam’s successful Starter Pack (PSP), a camera crane specifically designed for use with latest-generation compact camcorders and D-SLR heads. This pack will be on display for the first time on the Argosy stand at Cabsat 2012 alongside a collection of Argosy’s existing infrastructure products.
‘Teaming up with Argosy represents a great opportunity for us to move into a growing market in the Middle East,’ said Polecam’s managing director Steffan Hewitt. ‘We’ve had a steady stream of enquiries from the region and our brand is growing consistently in the Middle East. We’re delighted to team up with Argosy as they have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the broadcast community in this region.’
‘Polecam is one of the global leaders in truly portable crane systems for digital film and television content creation and we are very excited to be taking its Starter Pack into the Middle East,’ said Mike Purnell, director at Argosy. ‘This simple to use crane system is a natural extension to our infrastructure product range. The system’s heritage is clearly drawn from the original, hugely successful Polecam full rig camera crane — and has seen significant interest from broadcasters and film makers globally who are looking for new, versatile ways to capture content from live sports events and film production using compact cameras.’
Visitors to Cabsat 2012 will also see a range of fibre management tools from Argosy as well as HD infrastructure products including a collection of video, audio and power cables, connectors, test and measurement devices, rack systems as well as an array of video accessories.
