KEY FEATURES

HIGH SPEED CAPTURE

From a standstill to full high-speed motion and back to a complete stop in fractions of a second, the Bolt Cinebot captures the fastest action with absolute precision. Capable of horizontal and vertical movement speeds of up to 2 metres per second, and a 180-degrees of rotation in a 1 second, the Bolt can keep up with almost anything.

BOLT HIGHLIGHTS

  • High-speed robotic arm
  • Camera payload up to 20kg
  • Track speed in excess of 3.5m/sec
  • Arm reach 2m
  • Max Height 3.5m
  • Can be used as both camera rig or model mover

WHY MOTION CONTROL

USES OF MOTION CONTROL

  • Controlled Moves – For controlled filming and lighting on products.
  • Repeat Moves – Making elements appear and disappear, crowd replication, changing backgrounds and foregrounds, filming action at different speeds, putting elements together.
  • Scaled Moves – Shooting miniatures, rotating camera moves, matching scales.
  • CGI Export – Combining live-action to CGI.
  • CGI Import – Complex moves, unusual shapes, impossible moves, Pre-visualisation.
  • High Speed controlled motion
  • Stop-frame Animation of complex moves

TRACK OPTIONS

BOLT ON TRACK

To add another dimension of movement for the Bolt, you can run the high speed camera robot on a track. Follow any object, person, or landscape to give much more flexibility in terms of visual creativity. Capable of speeds of up to 4.5 metres per second, execute any number of complex camera movements with pinpoint accuracy for new levels of dynamic high-speed tracking shots.
