Poway, CA. April 17th, 2012 – Delkin Devices, Inc. introduces the CineZip™ as the first lightweight, portable alternative to track dolly systems for fluid video recording up to 50 feet in length. The slider suspends DSLRs and video cameras up to twelve pounds in weight from two seemingly endless cables, ideal for both short and long distance panning.

“Videographers will enjoy the ability to setup a professional, custom design in minutes, with no additional equipment or hardware needed,” explains CEO Martin Wood. “The practical design requires minimal assembly before use and fits into a lightweight carrying bag for easy travel.” Furthermore, users are given the option to carefully guide their camera down the zipline, or utilize a built-in pulley system to attain smooth, motion rich footage.

Already included in the kit, two Fat Gecko suction cup mounts (normally retailing for $89.99 individually) securely fasten the CineZip™ onto smooth solid surfaces such as windows, while a sturdy strap attachment can be used for rounded objects such as a tree. When filming on a motion picture set or other adaptable environment, cinematographers can also opt to screw an adapter plate directly into a wall.

Another added feature allows operators to maintain full control of their device while possessing the ability to rotate 360 degrees in order to obtain a wide panoramic image. Built-in joints and levels measure precise angles prior to shooting.

Boasting a phenomenal 1000X rating, the new card transfer rates equate to 150MB/s read and 80MB/s write, assuring superior quality 1080p HD video capture at high frame rates - without dropped frames.

Poway, CA. August 24, 2011 – Today Delkin Devices, Inc. announced their much anticipated ruggedized waterproof CF memory cards boasting the fastest read and write speeds in the world.  The new cards are available in capacities ranging from 8GB up to 64GB and are capable of transferring pictures, video, music and more at speeds up to 685X, or 103MB/s.  In addition to impressive speed performance, the cards are fully compatible with advanced HD and 3D video recording modes including slow motion recording.

“Since we launched our initial CombatFlash lineup of CF cards in 2010 we’ve had fantastic success among professional photographers and videographers,” explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez. “Unlike a traditional CF memory card, the CombatFlash PCB is protected with a Tekta infusion process that enables the card to achieve phenomenal reliability and performance in environments where a normal CF card would typically fail.  The card is protected from underwater submersion, solid impact, corrosion, rust & more. That reliability equals a day of production that doesn’t need to be reshot, or a climb up Mount Everest that is captured reliably.  It equals invaluable peace of mind.”

The new CombatFlash685 card includes the same ruggedized qualities as it’s 625X predecessor, but adds more than 10MB/s in speed performance and the ability to shoot in over cranking mode (or slow motion recording) with Canon’s XF series HD camcorders, including the trending XF305, XF300, XF105 and XF100 models.       

Lopez states, “Sophisticated cinema recording applications like Slow & Fast Motion and HD infrared capabilities are increasingly being utilized on a regular basis. Delkin’s US engineering staff is consistently heightening their standards to not only keep up with the evolving equipment, but to also anticipate future breakthroughs that will require exceedingly fast and high quality memory.”

Delkin’s CombatFlash memory remains the only consumer flash storage brand built to comply with MIL-STD-810 specification. Extreme environmental testing has rated the CombatFlash CF line to remain fully operable anywhere between 0°C to 70°C, while soldered and sealed internal components and advanced wear leveling & error correction features manage data continuously to ensure data integrity and card longevity.

CombatFlash685 CF memory is supported by Delkin’s trusted lifetime warranty and U.S. based support center, available by phone on working days between 8am-5pm PST.  This innovative product, along with Delkin’s complete lineup of imaging accessories, can be found at digital camera retailers worldwide, as well as direct from www.delkin.com for retail prices ranging from $149.99 for an 8GB card to $899.99 for a 64GB card.

Poway, CA. August 24th, 2011– Today Delkin expands their award winning line of Fat Gecko Mounts with two new brackets for Apple’s iPad1 and iPad2 tablet, allowing users to mount an iPad to almost any surface for hands free use and viewing.  Robust custom molded plastic provides easy access to all essential tablet buttons and functions, while a ¼-20” connector enables universal attachment to any Delkin Fat Gecko mount or standard photography tripod.

“The iPad has become a truly revolutionary tool across countless industries including photography, aviation, automotive, gaming, medical, and even food service, but users are limited in the available ways to mount the device or prop it up for ease of use” explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez. “Creating an adapter that will reliably connect an iPad to one of our existing mounts opens up usage options for iPad users across hundreds of professions and lifestyles.”

The new brackets are designed to allow the iPad to slip seamlessly into protective molded holds on one side and then clip into the opposing side for an impressively secure fit.  Once the bracket is attached to the Fat Gecko Mount of choice, the user can adjust angles and the mounting position to obtain their ideal angle.

Poway, CA. June 27th, 2011- Today Delkin Devices began shipping the fastest SDXC UHS-I memory card in the world.  The new 64GB 633X rated card is designed for streaming HD and 3D video applications where speed and capacity are imperative and is the fourth capacity to be added to their recently introduced family of UHS-I memory cards.  

"As camcorders are moving towards flash memory storage and away from tape, we're simultaneously seeing a strong trend in videographers utilizing HD video capabilities in DSLRs," explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez. "Standard SD memory cards are more than fast enough for typical applications but not nearly fast enough to keep up with the large amount of data that HD video requires, particularly when shooting a feature film or longer movie clip. Our new 64GB Elite633 card is able to record at speeds up to 45 megabytes per second and read at speeds up to 95 megabytes per second which eliminates any pause to the recording process that users experience with slower cards."  

Elite633 SDHC and SDXC cards feature transfer speeds tripling previous Secure Digital Class 10 capabilities to accommodate the most sophisticated High Definition and 3D imaging enabled equipment on the market. Defined by the SD Association as enabling transfers up to 104 Megabytes per second, this Ultra High Speed Bus-Interface is quickly being integrated into applications like JPG & RAW burst-mode photography and real-time broadcast & streaming video.

Delkin's newest Elite633 card is capable of recording up to 8 hours of high definition video or capturing more than 17,000 photos in SDXC enabled cameras, camcorders and host devices. Because SDXC memory cards utilize an exFAT format they are not compatible with older non SDXC devices or operating systems. Advanced features like reliable Error Correction Code, Wear Leveling, and storage integrity in harsh conditions (like exposure to static, vibration, shock & UV light) remain. Like all Delkin memory cards, the company's US based technical support staff is available to offer free data recovery services and support for the lifetime of the product. Cards begin shipping direct from Delkin as of today to specialty photo and video retailers worldwide for a retail price of $539.99.

Poway, CA. June 24th, 2011- Today Delkin announced new upgrades as well as a cleared patent (#7,805,070 B2) on their award winning SensorScope® DSLR Sensor Inspection Device and Cleaning System. The inspection tool, which has sold over 50,000 units since September of 2006, utilizes enhanced magnification and LED illumination to present a quick and clear view of a DSLR image sensor before every shoot.  

"Particles of dust, lint and debris on a sensor show up as dark specs and lines in image and video capture," explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez. "These imperfections can be minor to extreme and can cost a photographer hours in post-production editing to remove.  In the past a photographer would shoot a blue sky or white wall at F22, transfer the image to a computer and magnify it to find the areas of the sensor that needed to be cleaned; this process would be completed several times until a clean sensor was produced. The SensorScope enables quick and easy inspection with universal compatibility across DSLR brands and models, giving the photographer the ability to inspect and clean quickly and away from the studio."    

Delkin's already comprehensive DSLR image cleaning system also received upgrades this month, with two new components added to the arsenal of cleaning tools that are designed to tackle various types of sensor debris.  A recent partnership with respected manufacturer LensPen® resulted in a custom designed polishing and edging tool inspired by DSLR camera technicians. The SensorPen™ by LensPen® features a non-carbon triangular tip for cleaning the edges of the sensor and polishing the sensor surface, as well as a slide out soft DSLR body brush that safely removes dust and debris from the camera body.

"Lens Pen has a great reputation among photographers, videographers and camera technicians, and this final polishing and edging step really completes the sensor cleaning process," explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez. "Not only does it effectively remove small debris that can become lodged in hard to reach areas, the proprietary material on the tip of the pen reduces overall static on the sensor surface which helps to keep the sensor clean in the future."

A dual sided lint free cleaning cloth has also been added to the system, with a white microfiber side designed for sensitive exterior optics and a grey terry side for the removal of fingerprints and oils from the SensorScope and camera body.

The award winning system ships with the newly patented SensorScope inspection device, a dual speed SensorVac that removes loose and potentially abrasive particles, 24 double-sided SensorSafe Wands and a bottle of alcohol free SensorSolution that removes chemically adhered contaminants such as pollen, condensation and lubricant, a SensorPen, a SensorCloth, a battery pack to power the SensorVac in the field, and a user guide with step by step instructions for safe inspection and cleaning.  Refill kits that include 15 SensorSafe Wands, a bottle of SensorSolution and a SensorPen can also be purchased, as well as the SensorScope Inspection Device a la carte.  The upgraded SensorScope product family is now shipping to specialty photo and video retailers worldwide and can be ordered directly at www.delkin.com.  SensorScope System is listed for USD$119.99, SensorScope Inspection Device for USD$79.99 and Refill Kits for USD$34.99.

Poway, CA. April 7th, 2011– Today Delkin announces the fastest SD memory card built to Secure Digital format specifications, with transfer speeds up to 95MB/s read, 80MB/s write and an impressive 633X speed rating that more than triples previous Class 10 capabilities.  The new card, dubbed Elite 633X for its superb performance, utilizes an Ultra High Speed Bus Interface to achieve unprecedented transfer speeds. 

“With DSLRs shooting RAW in continuous bursts that exceed 10 frames per second and pro video cameras regularly shooting streaming HD and 3D video, imaging professionals need a card that won’t slow them down,” explains CEO Martin Wood.  “The Elite 633 card is the first Secure Digital card that promises to keep up with the most advanced imaging equipment in the market.” 

The Elite 633 card utilizes the Secure Digital Association’s “Ultra High Speed” (UHS-I) specification, which enables bus-interface speeds up to 104 Megabytes per second and full backwards compatibility among SDHC and SDXC host devices for seamless integration in today’s devices .  When paired with UHS enabled equipment such as Nikon’s D7000 and Canon’s T3i, benefits such as real-time broadcasting and simultaneous recording become attainable for the first time.  Additional features like advanced Error Correction Code (ECC), reliable Wear Leveling, and storage integrity in harsh conditions (including static, vibration, shock & UV light exposure) make this a buzz worthy card among the professional imaging crowd.

“We expect the new speed capabilities to have a substantial impact on videography in particular,” explains Marketing Manager Anna Lopez. “Limitations that have existed in digital imaging for years are all of a sudden lifted, and we are anxious to see more industries moving over to digital capture because of it.”   

The Delkin Elite 633 card will be offered in 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities, with a 64GB SDXC version planned for the near future.  Delkin’s industry leading lifetime warranty & San Diego based technical support accompany the line-up, with image and data recovery offered free of charge.  Cards will begin shipping on April 13^th to specialty photography and videography retailers worldwide for a retail price of $139.99, $249.99 & $439.99 respectively.

April 7th, 2011 - Delkin Devices, a technology manufacturer with over 25 years of experience in innovative digital design, today announced their highly anticipated USB 3.0 Universal Memory Card Reader boasting transfer speeds over 12 times that of current USB 2.0 readers.  Since USB 3.0 technology was publicly announced in November of 2008, computer and accessory manufacturers have been slow to incorporate the new format despite its impressive 5Mbps data transfer speed capability.  The first USB 3.0 equipped devices began to appear in the market in January of 2010 with very little portable accessory availability even into the beginning of 2011.

"Our customers are primarily photographers, videographers and early adopters of technology," explains Marketing Manager, Anna Lopez.  "While we're not seeing USB 3.0 in every new computer sale just yet, our unique market is hungry for the increased speeds that will enable the transferring of large HD and 3D video files and RAW image files without the lag that they experience with USB 2.0 technology."

The new USB 3.0 Universal Memory Card Reader boasts transfer speeds up to 5Gb/s with actual speeds approximated around 3.2 Gb/s, or 400 MB/s; over twelve times faster than the 33MB/s actual transfer speeds obtained with USB 2.0 devices.  Five memory card slots enable universal compatibility across dozens of flash card formats including UDMA enabled CompactFlash cards, SDXC enabled Secure Digital cards and brand specific memory cards such as Memory Stick and xD.

CEO Martin wood explains, "The combination of a universal non-proprietary design and unprecedented speed make this an attractive accessory that significantly improves workflow for someone who regularly transfers data from memory card to computer.  With the resolution of a digital camera over 10 megapixels now and video cameras shooting high definition 1080p video, people are creating larger files and utilizing higher capacity memory cards.  When it comes time to move the data on those cards to a computer, our new USB 3.0 Reader can save hours of time that would normally be spent waiting for files to move from one device to another." 

Users who plan on upgrading a desktop, laptop, netbook or tablet PC in the future can utilize the new reader in current USB 2.0 and 1.1 device ports with seamless backward compatibility; however transfer speeds will be reduced to the highest rate capable of the device port.  Driver free design allows for simple plug and play operation in Windows 7, Vista, XP, ME and 2000 Operating Systems as well as Mac OS9.0 and later.  Like all Delkin products, the new USB 3.0 Universal Memory Card Reader is backed by Delkin's San Diego based Technical Support team as well as an industry leading five year manufacturer's warranty.  The first readers are due to ship direct from the San Diego manufacturing facility on Wednesday, April 6th, 2011 and will be available at photography and videography retailers worldwide for a retail price of $39.99.
