Padcaster Starter Kit for 10.9" iPad Air and 1st & 2nd Gen 11" iPad Pro

Description

The Padcaster Starter Kit for 11" iPad Pro is designed for users that need a portable and rugged kit for broadcasting tasks. With a plethora of included accessories, the Padcaster Starter Kit allows you to turn your iPad into a professional all-in-one production module. This kit comes with a protective Padcaster Case, a unidirectional microphone kit, and audio splitter. Inside you'll also find a .45x wide angle lens and a fluid head tripod/monopod duo for an immersive and balanced video. Additionally, you'll find a padded backpack to keep your iPad and accessories safe.

The Padcaster Case is designed to allow you to improve the quality of video shot using an iPad Pro 11". The lightweight, brushed aluminium frame has 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes around the edges for attaching external microphones, lights, and other accessories. This allows for greater creative control over filming.

The Padcaster Case can also be attached to a tripod, monopod, or shoulder mount using the tripod thread and locking-pin hole. By removing the insert, you can use the frame as a DSLR cage for added versatility.

The lens bracket has a built-in 72mm thread and a 72-58mm step-down ring that allows you to attach lenses with rear threads of 72mm or 58mm. A cold shoe adapter for accessories like LED lights and microphones is also included, as well as a special camera mount screw that allows you to use the frame as a DSLR cage.

Listen and record with the Dual Mic/Headphone Jack from the Padcaster . This Y-splitter has a 3.5mm TRRS male connector on one end and female 3.5mm microphone and headphone connectors on the other, enabling you to record and monitor simultaneously.

Expand your field of view with a Wide-Angle Lens from the Padcaster . This 0.45x lens attaches to your Padcaster's lens bracket with its 58mm thread. It accepts 62mm filters and the front of the lens unscrews, leaving a macro lens for close-up photography.

Rugged and portable, the Fluid Head Tripod/Monopod from Padcaster is designed for use with their iPad line, Smartphone Verse products, and most anything else with a camera. Built using aluminium, it can endure a wide range of shooting situations and its back-folding legs make it compact enough to clip onto your backpack.

Featuring a fluid pan and tilt head that can support up to 6kg, your devices will be secure and balanced. There are also two ball-level adjustments to help ensure your shots are horizontally and vertically level, even if the ground beneath you isn't. With three leg sections and a telescoping centre column, the Padcaster Fluid Head Tripod/Monopod can extend to 180cm and folds down to 55.9cm for compact travel and storage. If you're looking for even more of an on-the-go solution, unscrew one of the tripod legs and attach it to the removable centre column to create a monopod.

Additional features include a 3/8"-16 accessory interface to mount other equipment, removable spike feet for improved stability and grip while shooting outdoors, a spring-loaded hook to add extra weight for greater stability, a spare 3/8"-16 screw pre-mounted in the tripod head, and a weatherproof zipper carry bag for added protection against the elements.

Carry your mobile media gear on the go with the Padcaster Backpack . This bag is made from rugged, water-resistant nylon and is fully padded to keep your gear safe. Inside, five hook-and-loop dividers let you configure the interior as you like it, and the removable zipper pouch gives you another option for internal storage. An exterior pocket can be found on one side and a mesh water bottle holder on the other, and the back sports a clip for attaching your tripod. An elastic rain cover is included for further protection.
