Cinetics Expands on CineSkates Success With New CineSquid

Cinetics, expanding on their success with CineSkates, has announced the release of CineSquid, a super strong and versatile suction cup camera mount system.

CineSquid allows filmmakers to capture previously unthinkable shots by attaching their camera to smooth surfaces, from any angle.

"By growing our product line, Cinetics continues to work toward our goal of helping filmmakers create captivating video through controlled camera movement," explains Cinetics founder, Justin Jensen. "We're encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive support from our community of users to create a simple, interchangeable system that replaces their bulky gear."


Expanding on the unique Cinetics Connect platform, developed to make CineSkates possible, the new CineSquid system combines powerful suction cup technology with the flexible GorillaPod Focus Tripod and BallHead X to create a portable and modular system that filmmakers can take anywhere. Different from other suction cup mounts on the market, the flexible tripod attaches to contoured, multi-level surfaces, and users can even manipulate the camera frame once the suction cups are mounted. The triple suction cup design ensures CineSquid will not lose its grip.

The CineSquid System, which includes the tripod and ballhead, is available now at cinetics.com for $235. To get the full system, CineSkates owners only need the CineSquid suction cups sold separately for $120, an advantage of the modular Cinetics Connect platform. The first 100 CineSquid orders will receive early shipping in March. The next wave will begin shipping in April.
