FASTER & MORE MANOEUVRABLE SET-UPS


Rapid Remote Camera Deployment and Tracking


Some of the more recent gimbals have been designed with multiple applications in mind. In some of the sequences within the film that accompanies this PDF, we simply moved the same Ronin 2 gimbal with full VENICE camera from being mounted on the back of a vehicle, hung on a wire and even mounted on a heavy- lifting drone. The Ronin 2 gimbal was also used for handheld work and all the changed applications were carried out by one operator. (With the VENICE Extension System and camera body in a backpack, single handed operation is easier again and on lighter gimbals and saddles.) Avoiding swapping out the gimbals for a camera between set-ups requires less crew involvement and proximity as well as speeding up the day’s shoot.


Filmmakers have been using tracks for


WITHIN ONE SINGLE SYSTEM, THE AGITO MODULAR DOLLY SYSTEM FROM MOTION IMPOSSIBLE ALLOWS THE OPERATOR TO REPLICATE MOVES, ALL DONE


AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE CAMERA AND THE TALENT.


physical dolly moves as well as sophisticated cranes and motion control arms with outstanding and beautiful results. However, most alternatives revolve around either bespoke set-ups and fixed locations or are labour.intensive and ideally require multiple operators working together and so require more time and planning.


Within one single


system, the AGITO Modular Dolly System from Motion Impossible allows the operator to replicate


moves encompassing jibs, dollies, Steadicam, sliders and tracking vehicles as well as simply changing the camera position (as you would a tripod), but crucially all done at a safe distance from the camera and the talent.


The remotely controlled dolly can run on


tracks or, perhaps more appropriately for the current times, is best used free-roaming on tyres. The Agito delivers smooth pan, tilt and roll stabilisation with multiple gimbals. From low to two metres the Agito can carry various flight heads (Shotover, Ronin, Arri…), or the camera can simply be mounted on a Mitchell Plate with a payload of 32kg and more.


The remote operator can remotely mimic


almost all ground-based camera moves as executed by a cameraperson or small crew and with a lot of additional tracking alternatives. The VENICE could be mounted on an Agito all day and only come into contact with the (single) operator to change height configuration, batteries, media or lens. For maximum flexibility and ease of set-up, the VENICE Extension System sensor block and lens can sit within a relatively light flight head while the camera body is tethered to the chassis of the Agito. The full VENICE camera can also be mounted within larger gimbals. Working with the VENICE and the Agito can efficiently speed up the day’s shoot and represents an affordable way to capture cinematic movement and for the operator to remain remote from the physical camera.
