Motion Control

Easy to use, remote camera motion system that synchronizes to most cameras for true, frame accurate motion control.

  • Very quick to set up – typically takes less than 1 Hour
  • Portable – perfect for field use, runs off 24V battery, complete system including dolly fits in a car.
  • Affordable – Not much more than a normal remote head
  • Direct digital control-  fast, accurate, zero-lag response

The MoSys Lambda Motion Control camera head shares all the advantages and versatility of the regular Cartoni Lambda head on which it is based – 360deg tilt, unrivaled ease of adjustment and rock solid engineering.  It features un-compromised, zero-backlash drive mechanics for precision, power, and low maintenance.

Used in conjunction with our lightweight motorised dolly the MoSys is one of the most versatile true motion control systems available.  To complete the system the 3-axis Lens Control Module gives you remote/motion control of Focus, Iris and Zoom, can be easily configured to control small model movers.

The system uses embedded processors and our proprietary menu driven software that is as easy to use as a cassette recorder.  “Programming” or teaching could not be simpler – moves can be recorded live, in real time by your crew, using tried and trusted means such as hand wheels or pan-bar. Key frame input is not required but can of course be used.  Exact positions set at key points in a move are automatically converted into a smooth curve motion by the systems embedded computers – the process couldn’t be simpler.

The exact motion is stored in internal, non-volatile memory. It can be replayed again and again, at any speed, re-recorded or modified, all in sync with the shutter of the camera. It takes only a few minutes to master the basics of the MoSys control system.

The MoSys head is also available as a two axis repeatable remote head that can be under slung and used on a crane.  The MoSys Intelligent Motion Control System can be used for many different operations and in many different configurations:

  • As Motion Control for perfect multi-pass techniques
  • As a Remote head operable up to 100m away, and easily underslung for use on cranes
  • As a studio Geared Head with hand wheels mounted directly on the head
