We are Motion Control.
Anywhere.
Motion Control certainly isn't new, but people tend to associate it with large unwieldy robots that break budgets and schedules. Anything but portable, most require multiple technicians, specialty trucking, and long program times that all means money. And, often times the robots are just too big to bring on location. Our robots SLIM and STRETCH, were designed by D2 Motion of Australia, to break that mold.
Our robots are highly portable, easy to travel and quick to build robotic arms that deliver high end cinematic motion control without the usual pain points. Operated by a single technician and proprietary software built for speed, they add precision and repeatability that actually speed up effeciency on set and and built to tackle every shot (moco or not) on location, in studio, and pretty much anywhere.​​​​​
​​
As the exclusive US partner of D2Motion, we have robots and experienced technicians based in Massachusetts and
Los Angeles.
SLIM + S T R E T C H
SLIM is powerful cinema robot packed into a lightweight form factor, allowing it to deliver in places that other robots can't.
Operated by a single technician, it can travel to set in the back of an SUV, and packs down into travel cases that fly commercially as check-in luggage. Mitchell mount based, it's highly versatile on set, and can also operate from dolly, crane, truss & more.
​
​
STRETCH is all about more. More speed. More reach. More payload.
While a bit larger than SLIM, it is just as nimble on set, and ith a 10+ft linear reach (12ft height) it makes the argument for ever needing a dolly, jib, or slider etc. Given it's size, Stretch ships via freight vs check-in, but can travel anywhere with ease.
