  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Bot and Dolly + RED

It's the perfect fusion of a Red Camera and Wall.E !
Love it !
 
Wicked!
 
Bohhhhhhhrrrrinnnnng!

(This is so 1990s auto assembly line)
 
Fun to watch it in action, I might miss the Y and Z axis range of a Techno dolly or Milo. Probably good for intricate tabletop when you've got money to burn and clients to wow.

This is something I have wanted to do for a while, but I don't have a camera worth such a rig. The hardest part about something like that is the control interface. I just finished programming a Moto Man industrial robot to assemble flashlights for a class project this last quarter in an engineering class. They can work on any coordinate system you specify so it is possible to pan and roll and whatever else based on the specific camera and lens geometry. The robots we use go for about $40k each so no this doesn't have to be out of the question price wise if you can afford an Epic. What makes one robot different from another is the method of control. Putting something like this on a dolly is fairly simple. If any of you want to put a camera on one of our robots to play with let me know, we might be able to work something out.



Here is a video of the robot we used. They don't have this year's videos up yet, but here is a video of last year's team putting flashlights together. Please note I had nothing to do with making this video. We only reused a small part of the tooling and improved on most of it.

The Epic really is a great camera for moco use. When we got our Epic we rebuilt the head of our Milo, since the camera was so small and light-weight that we didn't need all the metal that was there for our old Mitchel S35. We now have a leaner and better head with easier access to the camera, and stable epic power right in the head. Will not put an arri camera on that machine ever again.

Now if only we could get that fabled wireless hd video as an epic module...

My Spanish is rusty and was never all that good to begin with but my understanding is "mucho" means "much". "Muchos" (plural) means "many".

I think you used it correctly, Phil.

Either way, the IRIS es muy bueno.
 
Looks amazing, and what better than to have our camera in the promo =]. A friend sent me this video, some amazing work and shots captured using the system (not sure if the exact one or similar).

 
It's nice to see that power and precision is given to cinematographers!
Our company has just finished a unique motion control system that is more on the affordable side:

- indoor and outdoor use
- Very easy to use, no learning curve, no computer needed.
- can cover volumes from just 100qm to 32 000qm
- 3 Axis of full motion not just 2.5 (milo/bot&dolly)
- Portable, can be transported to remote locations.
- Quick setup. 60min for a 15mx15mx5m volume
- Repeatable and ajustable in realtime
- Very precisely controllable (Austrian Industry Technology)
- 3m/s speeds and more
- Live-control and record motion.
- 10Kg Camera Payload
- Safety (brakes/emergency stop)
