NiceDice stands out in the camera industry as the first multifunctional adapter of its kind. The system allows for easy attachment of various equipment with different mounting standards such as lights, monitors, microphones, and transmitters to a camera. The adapters are easy to change, making the NiceDice system adaptable to most pieces of equipment. Fischer's design is a testament to his understanding of the industry's needs and his ability to create a solution that caters to them.
The NiceDice system is made from the finest Alloy available, CNC milled, and treated with the best anodic treatment. All components are made in Germany, ensuring high-quality and durability. The system includes three NiceDice, three screws, and seven different adapters, all packaged in a heavy-duty plastic box. The entire package weighs only 220 grams, making it portable and convenient for on-the-go filming.
The NiceDice system is not just an adapter; it's an individual construction system. It's designed to be modular and easily expandable, solving incompatibility issues among different brands. With a couple of NiceDice and conventional film rods, one can build, adapt, and expand nearly every construction from tripods to shoulder rigs. This gives users a great deal of freedom to arrange the construction in the way their creative mind tells them to.
The design of the NiceDice system was not without its challenges. Meeting technical specifications such as lightweight, durability, and distinctive design while developing something completely new and innovative was a significant hurdle. However, the result is a patented product that has been recognized for its creativity and technical prowess. In 2017, the NiceDice system was awarded Silver in the A' Product Engineering and Technical Design Award.
In conclusion, the NiceDice system is a game-changer in the professional filming industry. It simplifies the process of connecting various pieces of equipment, making it easier for filmmakers to focus on what they do best - creating stunning visuals. With its innovative design and practical functionality, NiceDice is set to revolutionize the way we connect our filming equipment.
