Bolt PTR Robotic Head

Pan-Tilt-Roll For More Creative Control

The Bolt PTR (Pan-Tilt-Roll) is a compact, high-precision camera head engineered for the Bolt and Bolt X Cinebots. This allows the camera to independently pan, tilt, and roll, separate from the arm’s movement, giving you more flexibility and control over your shots, especially in tight spaces.

Bolt PTR Highlights

Precision Control

The Bolt PTR Robotic Head is designed to make filming with the Bolt and Bolt X systems more flexible and controlled. Lightweight and compact, it is fully compatible with modern, professional cameras, making it ideal for high-precision filming.

When filming in tight spaces, like car interiors, gimbal lock can limit rotation and certain manoeuvres. The Bolt PTR solves this by allowing the camera to pan, tilt, and roll independently of the arm, giving you complete control in any environment.

With its improved motor and gearbox, the Bolt PTR enhances the performance of the Bolt and Bolt X systems, offering smoother, more precise camera control that rivals the sturdiest camera rigs.
