with Track or other Axes

Ulti-Head shown with Dutch Roll Option

The Ulti-Head it is designed to be the ultimate in low-cost yet precise and portable motion control head. But now it is even more versatile as it is specifically designed to be a very modular motion control system with easy addition of extra axes of motion. In particular, the axis of Track adds a tremendous degree of freedom to the Ulti-head and any shoot.

By adding a high-speed track motor and dolly system, as well as some industry standard rails, a whole new range of shots can be accommodated for very little additional cost. As an added benefit the track axis is "back-driveable" meaning that it can be pushed manually to record the motion**, just like a normal dolly, and then the motion can be repeatedly played back as often as required, or even the data exported to CGI.

There are a number of options for the Track system including:

bullet

The choice of Rack & Pinion drive for optimum accuracy and rigidity, or Belt & Pulley for
optimum cost and track compatibility.

bullet

Uprated Track drive for speeds in excess of 3 metres/sec

bullet

Battery driven capability for the track system.

bullet

Choice of Straight or Curved racking for track rails.

bullet

Precision Bearing Rail instead of industry standard dolly rail for the Ultimate in performance.

The UltiHead and any additional axes, like the Track, can be controlled using remote hand-wheels, joysticks, or pan-bars. Alternatively it can be programmed from the keyboard and mouse, it incorporates the advanced Flair software system with a highly graphical and user friendly interface. Flair also gives the operator the ability to pre-visualise the move both numerically and graphically and make adjustments as necessary before committing to the action run, as well as importing and exporting moves to CGI, such as Softimage and Maya.

If the system is not required for motion control but simply as a remote system then it can easily be connected to the MSA-20 controller instead of Flair. This gives the ability to operate or dry-hire the system with little or no training as the operation is so simple and intuitive.

This awesome system boasts several key features to set it apart from anything else currently available on the market, including:

bullet

Extremely high accuracy and rigidity for use in motion control applications

bullet

Very high speed of movement

bullet

Space-saving compact design for high portability
