 All you high speed camera enthusiasts, pay attention - you won't want to miss this.

At IBC 2008 Mark Roberts Motion Control unveiled some of their latest technology including a new toy for high speed cameras, the fully motion controlled linear motor. The linear motor combines high speed camera shooting with motion control to pull off some very spectacular and unique footage.

We can custom the linear motor to fit your shooting requirements. Contact us on info@mrmoco.com for more information.

 

A 3rd Axis for the Ulti-Head 

Mark Roberts Motion Control are proud to announce their latest new option for the high precision pan-tilt Ulti-Head, the MRMC manufactured full roll or 3rd axis. This option was also released at this year's IBC and was shown on the Talos rig. The 3rd axis can take a wide range of cameras, having an extra large roll opening to give easy access to the camera and lens.

Cambotics Broadcast Robotics Reseller

While Mark Roberts Motion Control equipment is most known in the realms of film, commercials and music videos, we have also supplied the TV industry on countless occasions. In order to offer an even greater range of broadcast equipment for the TV industry, MRMC are working in collaboration with Cine-TV Broadcast Systems and Cambotics USA and MRMC are now an official reseller for Cambotics broadcast systems. Cambotics manufacture state of the art robotic pedestals, lift columns and pan tilt heads for live broadcast applications. Cambotics systems are much more reliable, stable under heavy load and simple to operate than other remote studio equipment, and have already been installed in many well known US and European studios and governmental organizations. They require very little maintenance and are very simple to install.

MRMC plan on offering the equipment to companies and organizations in the United Kingdom, South Africa, China, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Israel, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few. 

Contact us info@mrmoco.com for more information on the range of TV broadcast equipment that we now offer.

MRMC Motion Control and Flair Training

This past month we completed another successful training programme. Five people attended the three day course gaining basic and advanced skills in using Flair and operating the Milo. The course was run by Assaff Rawner and attendees came from the North of England and as far away as Italy, Lithuania and Dubai. All the attendees got a lot from the course. Below is what a few of them had to say:

"I thought the course was enjoyable and informative, with the number of people attending pitched just right. It certainly helped to clarify the more advanced and powerful features of Flair, and I thought the presentation and analysis of more complicated motion control issues was well delivered by Assaff; it also represented good value for money with access to a Milo for 3 days." - N.W.

 

"A very invaluable course, fully immersive and in-depth covering very practical and suitable information for me as a cameraman, motion control operator, rigger/machinist as well as a vfx guy. The course focused on the rig and on the amazing Flair software. You learn motion control topics and tricks to accomplish your crazy camera moves. It covers also many production scenarios and how to solve any shot and get your Milo screaming around like a T-rex :-). Thanks Assaff and all the fantastic guys at Mark Roberts Motion Control." G.D.
