Van Nuys, California, June 25, 2014—When Sebastian Lindstrom, co-founder of What Took You So Long, and his team journeyed to Liberia for their latest documentary, they employed an iPhone 5s equipped with the iPro Lens System® by Schneider Optics iPhone Lenses Used in Film Shoot Van Nuys, California, June 25, 2014—When Sebastian Lindstrom, co-founder of What Took You So Long, and his team journeyed to Liberia for their latest documentary, they employed an iPhone 5s equipped with the iPro Lens System® by Schneider Optics Terry Persun Film and TV Jun 3, 2025 “We are a small documentary production company that specializes in supporting non-profits and development entities around the world,” explains Lindstrom. “Our method of filmmaking depends on high-quality, lightweight equipment.” For the documentary about women with obstetric fistula, which was co-funded by the United Nations Populations Fund, the team took two Canon 5Ds to the West African country. And for the most audience-engaging results, they also took a 7D and an iPhone to capture slow motion and extreme close-up footage. “We shot with the iPhone 5s ─ mostly in 720p at 120-fps ─ and iPro Super Wide and Macro lenses,” he says. “The Macro captures the same details as a $1000 lens would. It’s amazing how close you can get with it ─ so close, we were able to position it just inches from a person’s iris,” which is shown in the opening sequence of the video. On the opposite end of the spectrum, “The iPro Super Wide frames a much bigger picture of the world than the native camera inside the iPhone,” Lindstrom adds. “While at a stadium in Monrovia for a big soccer game between Liberian and Ghanaian teams, the president of Liberia came out on the field to wish everybody ‘good luck.’ The iPro Super Wide lens enabled us to spontaneously capture innovative wide-angle shots for slow-motion content that will take audiences’ imaginations to the next level when watching our videos. In retrospect, we should have left the 7D at home, because the daylight footage we caught with the iPhone and iPro lenses was superior ─ and it was much easier to pack.” While the DSLR revolution gave the world access to smaller, less expensive cameras, Lindstrom notes that “Filming with a phone takes it to another level, as you can quickly position angles that your DSLR would require a jib for, and it’s something most people travel with anyway. And you could never get smooth traveling shots by holding your DSLR outside of a car window with your hand like we did with the iPhone. We believe that the iPro Lens System used in conjunction with the iPhone 5s for slow motion filming has the potential to become an important, value-added component for any type of documentary work. We plan to use them in all our upcoming shoots around the world as an integral part of our DSLR filming.” For the past five years, What Took You So Long has worked within more than 70 developing countries. “Some of the areas we travel to may not take kindly to visiting filmmakers,” he says. “So it’s very beneficial to be able to shoot with the iPhone ─ now with professional-grade lenses that are easy to conceal.” For more information: What Took You So Long Home Schneider Optics Lenses Previous Facebook LinkedIn Copy link Next

The increase in the number of EVs on the road has also increased the demand for more charging stations, which require high-end components to keep them running cool. Pump Technology Keeps EV Charging Stations Cool The increase in the number of EVs on the road has also increased the demand for more charging stations, which require high-end components to keep them running cool. KNF Cool Stuff Jul 9, 2025 Sports The world has become more environmentally conscious, and emissions regulations are becoming stricter, making electric vehicles (EVs) increasingly popular. As the demand for newer, better EVs increases, so too does the demand for the charging stations that are necessary for keeping EVs powered and operational. These stations will need to be installed both commercially and residentially as more drivers move to EVs. Also from EE: Hydraulic Gimbal Aids Iron Man’s Motion Control Because charging stations output so much electricity, they also generate substantial amounts of heat. There are three different levels of chargers, with levels one and two available for both public and private use and level three available for public use only. The level three DC Fast Chargers (DCFCs) can output up to 500 A and 350 kW. Even more powerful chargers are on the horizon, which could be capable of outputting more than 400 kW and charging a vehicle to 200-mile range in less than eight minutes. How Cooling Systems Work Liquid cooling works by pumping a fluid, called coolant, through pipes or tubes, absorbing heat and dissipating it away from critical components. This reduces the temperature of those critical components, including capacitors, inductors, and control circuits, leading to more efficient charging and longer product life. The coolant is typically water mixed with glycol to prevent freezing or boiling. High quality liquid pumps are essential for effective liquid cooling operations. Constant and consistent flow is required for these systems to function properly. This ensures heat is being adequately transferred away from the element while also keeping the coolant at an appropriate temperature. Reliability is also key, as leaked coolant could result in catastrophic equipment damage. Photo from Depositphotos.com Liquid Pump Experts KNF has extensive experience creating state-of-the-art diaphragm liquid pumps for a variety of OEM and process industry applications. These pumps are self-priming and dry run safe, with flow rates ranging from 0.018 to 12.4 l/min and pressures up to 16 bar (rel.). KNF pumps are suitable for use with a variety of liquids, including abrasive and corrosive media and offer clean and reliable operation. Because of this, KNF pumps are trusted in some of the most demanding applications. In addition to offering a wide range of liquid pump series, KNF also provides custom options for all liquid diaphragm pumps. Pump heads, valves, and diaphragms are all available in various materials, while hydraulic and electrical connections can also be customized. Several motor options are available. KNF’s modular design approach allows pumps to be tailored to specific applications and ensures customer needs will be met. Cooling is Critical More power is required for EV chargers to provide faster charging. However, more power also leads to more heat generated. This makes cooling, specifically liquid cooling, an essential part of their operations. This is especially true in the larger, publicly available fast chargers, which need to output huge amounts of power to charge vehicles quickly and effectively. Faster charging is important for increased adoption of EVs, but it is also directly correlated to excess heat generation. Many readily available cooling systems are unable to adequately cool EV chargers quickly or efficiently enough, leading to slower charging speeds, performance issues, and increased maintenance costs. Cooling is also important in EV charging station cables, which are required to transport large amounts of energy very quickly. Reaching adequate charging speeds requires cables that are capable of doing so, often resulting in large, bulky cables that can be difficult to maintain. Liquid cooled cables allow for faster charging and better performance while also being easier to handle. A New Era for EVs The latest data from the International Energy Agency estimates there are more than 40 million EVs on the road worldwide, an increase from about 26 million in 2022. Sales of electric vehicles are climbing worldwide, increasing substantially in North America, Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. Estimates vary, but predictions for percentage of global vehicle sales for EVs by 2030 are as high 86 percent. With this relatively new technology rapidly gaining in popularity, efficient and safe charging stations will be a necessity.
