Operators Chris Toth and Jan Beran both seriously contemplating just how good the Ultihead is!

Manager, Jason Rau had this to say "After many years of lugging around a very clunky repeatable head system we were more then excited to hear that MRMC head developed a new portable moco head. With its lightweight design, ease of setup and low cost the decision to purchase an Ulti-head proved to be an easy one. We couldn't be happier with our two Ulti-heads and are gearing up to buy a couple more!!"

We are proud to announce the that the Ulti-head as well being offered as a full motion control head now has an option which allows it to be purchased as a stand alone remote repeat head, without the Flair software. Connecting the Ulti-head to the newly developed MSA-20 handwheels, allows the head to be operated completely independently of any PC or knowledge of software. Simply plug in the handwheels and the head is ready for use. This means that the Ulti-Head can be supplied and operated without the use of  Flair software and the associated electronics and laptop. It is a totally intuitive system that can be operated by anyone with no more than a few minutes of training. Ideal for dry-hiring to productions and cameramen with little or no technical knowledge.

As a remote head the MSA-20 handwheels (or optional pan-bars) provide smooth operation and allow the movement to be recorded for repeat operations. Handwheel scalings and directions can be changed for user preference using a simple LCD screen and stored in the on board memory. Recorded moves are also stored in the MSA-20's on-board memory and can be played back again and again. If additional move storage is required or data for post-production, then a simple serial port import and export facility will be provided.

The MSA-20 allows the versatile Ulti-Head to be used as a pure remote head system, where motion control is not a requirement. Because of its lightweight construction you can place loads & cameras of up to 35kg when mounted on a tripod or dolly and compared to similar products less counter balancing is required therefore allowing the operator a much faster response. The handwheels themselves can be converted to use with the full motion control package by a flick of a switch and connecting to Flair. The next facility will see the evolution of wireless controls.

Following several requests for various courses we would like to know what courses YOU would like to be offered and if there is enough demand to supply.

We have in the past run a series of training days for Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced operators. The full syllabuses are listed on our website www.mrmoco.com/other/maintraining.htm These courses were tutored using a Milo motion control rig and teach the setting up of a Milo, safety features within it, the basics of Flair motion control software, right the way through to advanced programming. We have also run courses instructing in the operation of Ulti-Head our new pan tilt head using Flair.
