We mentioned the Iconix HD-RH1 some time ago, and I just read at Digital Content Producer that Iconix is now shipping the system.

“The Iconix HD-RH1 POV camera system, which includes a very robust separate camera head and processing controller unit, is the smallest high-performance HD camera in the industry.”

“The camera head assembly features a 1/3in. progressive 16:9 image sensor, backed by a 1/3in. three-CCD prism system for optics, using 14-bit quantization at the A/D conversion and processing steps. Standard C-mount lenses are used with the head, which can be tripod-mounted or used with mobile stabilization units previously reserved for still cameras.”

You can find out more about the RH1 at www.iconixvideo.com

UPDATE: Mike Curtis was kind enough to share a few still images he took of the Iconix remote head. The pictures really serve to illustrate just how insanely space-efficient the cameras are. Click thumbnails for much larger versions.
