Tiffen Co. unveils new videocam products

The Tiffen Co., of Hauppauge, maker of Steadicam camera stabilizers, Domke camera bags, its own line of optical filters and other videography accessories, said Thursday it plans to introduce several new product lines at a national TV trade convention.

The accessories include four new Lowel light fixtures, new Tiffen filters for motion picture and broadcast professionals, the Tiffen Dfx 3.0 digital filter software suite, and a new line of Davis & Sanford tripods.

Tiffen will showcase the new items at the National Association of Broadcasters show, in Las Vegas, next month.
