Comments:

      “The rig has all of the features producers, directors and cinematographers demand when they make large format films.  The Iwerks rig has all of the typical HinesLab finishing touches like a rigid and relatively light-weight structure that provides for fast and easy removal of cameras.”  Don Marren in Stereo World magazine, January/February 1999.
