HIGH-SPEED CINEMA ROBOT FEATURES
PRECISION CINEMA ROBOT
The Bolt can move from standstill to full high-speed motion and back to a complete stop in fractions of a second – perfect for capturing fast-paced action and slow motion footage with pinpoint accuracy. The precision robotic arm is capable of moving at up to 12 metres per second when combined with track, and at 180-degrees of rotation in 1 second. In summary, the Bolt cinema robot can keep up with just about anything!

Bolt PTR Robotic Head
Upgrade Your Setup
Take your motion control to the next level with the Bolt PTR (Pan-Tilt-Roll) Robotic Head — a high-precision, compact camera head designed for the Bolt and Bolt X Cinebots.
The Bolt PTR allows your camera to pan, tilt, and roll independently of the Bolt arm, giving you total control over your shots and greater freedom of movement. It’s perfect for confined spaces like car interiors or miniature sets.
Featuring a precision-engineered servo motor and gearbox, the Bolt PTR brings smoother, more stable, and highly responsive performance to your Bolt system, no matter the shot.
Track Options
BOLT CINEMA ROBOT ON TRACK
To add a 7th axis of movement, you can run the Bolt on track. This setup allows it to seamlessly follow any object, person, or landscape, ensuring your subject stays in frame no matter how far they move. With an unlimited track length and speeds of up to 12 meters per second with combined arm movement, the Bolt delivers unparalleled flexibility for all your shooting needs, setting a new standard for dynamic high-speed camera tracking shots.
