Russian Arm VI
![](local/cache-vignettes/L600xH331/acs6-eeb9a-e91ef.png?1711376015)
The Russian Arm VI is the most efficient and functional robotic arm on the market. Gyrostabilized on two axis (pan and tilt) the arm works with the 3 axis gyrostabilized gimbal Flight head V. This combination eliminates shaking and vibrations and allows the film crew to capture very dynamic sequences. The camera can be close to the subject, or far away, and always results in very fluent shots with a perfect horizon. It has a capability of 360°panning in 4.5 seconds, the arm length can be 7.6m max. and can move from -4.10m to +6.60m on the vertical axis. We had the opportunity to use it at sea placed on a boat in Dunkirk and the results are stunning. The Russian Arm VI can adapt to any situation and environment.
Always closer to your filming location, we operate equipment in several facilities located in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Lisbon and Budapest.
Mantis
![](local/cache-vignettes/L600xH403/acs7-a5021-2d9d5.png?1711376015)
The Mantis is a remote dolly system. We placed our gyro-stabilized head Shotover G1 on the Mantis in order to exploit and operate all its possibilities. The Mantis can overcome the constraints of the traditional rail dolly track, it is all-terrain (3 types of wheels : all-terrain, studio and rail). Discreet and compact the Mantis and the Shotover G1 are controlled wirelessly, the absence of cables being a plus while filming. This really handy miniature tracking vehicle benefits from the high performance 3 axis gyro-stabilization of the G1 gimbal. This tool will quickly become a permanent fixture on all of your shoots.
Technical specifications :
- Battery life : 1h at max. speed, 4 to 5hs at low speed
- Max. speed : 32km/h
- 4wd all-terrain vehicle
- Interchangeable wheels
- Quiet electric motor system
- Optical lens axis height : 80cm
