TALOS
Last Updated March 2008
The Talos
released at the 2007 IBC exhibition, is
the latest compact, lightweight, portable live-action rig, designed for Motion
Control. This latest design by the Academy Award winning Milo design team
incorporates all the unique concepts, knowledge and skills giving you the best
performance possible in a compact motion control rig.
The Talos's ability to access a standard doorway (without the need for
dismantling) which other rigs might find an obstacle has been carefully
considered. Exceptionally fast to set up and a wide range of planned
characteristics, the Talos will have a spectacular and diverse range of
movements for its compact size.
Controlled by Flair motion control
software and with all the Award winning features that facilitate ease of use and
flexibility, Talos outsmarts all other moco rigs of it's size. Utilising the
popular Ulti-Head which
has the ability and additional benefit to be removed for use as a stand alone MOCO or Remote head.
The head is reversible in the vertical axis and can quickly be changed from
under-slung to over-slung allowing maximum flexibility in the minimum and
maximum achievable lens heights.
The Talos has been specifically designed for both studio or field work and if
shipped in its main component parts it can be set-up by two people and ready for
action within the hour. Operating on rigid Moy 620 track or even better the
Precision Dolly Rail, it is not only easy to
set up but its narrow width allows filming in restricted spaces.
Part of the operating system allows for connecting an Arri 435 advance or
extreme which will then provide for control of the camera as another axis of
motion controlling the camera speed from 0 to 150FPS as well as the shutter
angle from 11.2 to 180 degrees. The Talos will work with all the accessories
provided by Mark Roberts Motion Control and comes complete with a range of
interfaces and peripherals as standard making for simple upgrades and the
attachment of other equipment.
