*** The
Modula' Rig - The transformer of motion control rigs ***

This month saw the debut of the latest addition to the
Modula' Rig, its new jib arm, at the British Society of
Cinematographers (BSC) Show in London.
The Modula Rig' is now on its way to Poland, where the
new owners, TPS, are eagerly awaiting its
arrival.
The Modula’ rig is a complete motion control concept
allowing the user to pick and choose the size of the rig
depending on the shoot requirements. The highly versatile
Ulti-Head (a full motion control pan and tilt head) which
together with the Modula’ base, makes up the simplest motion
control rig. If the user requires lift, the Modula rig’s
telescopic lift column is simply added.
If additional height or reach is required then the head
can be mounted on the rig’s jib arm, which adds extra height
and an additional rotate axis. The modular design of the
system is not only good for different shoot requirements but
also for budgetary requirements, as companies can start with
a simple head and track system and gradually expand the kit
as the budget and need arises.
This is exactly what TPS did, initially purchasing just
the head and the track, then over a period of a year
purchasing the lift column, then jib arm and additional
rails.
Due to its versatility the Modula' Rig has come to be
nicknamed "the transformer of motion control rigs".

The Wireless
MSA-20 and Ulti-Head ***

The MSA-20 Handwheels and the
Ulti-Head make a powerful pair, giving users a very
versatile, easy-to-use, fully repeatable and motion control
remote head.
Now the pair have been improved even
further by creating the world's first WIRELESS
remote and motion control head.
With an indoor range of up to 250 feet the
wireless option adds even more freedom for the Director or
DofP.
All the functions of running the Ulti-Head
from the MSA-20 remain the same whether one runs in wireless
or wired mode, making the system a perfect unit for remote
head or repeating moves, including full control of focus and
zoom functions.
