The modular nature of these systems makes them infinitely expandable. Because the zoom axis
is driven by a precision rack and pinion system, it is possible to have multiple carriages on the same
track. These might include an entire separate boom arm system so you could shoot two different shots
from each ends of a long track at the same time. It could be a Zoom, North/South - East/West compound
with a rotation axis to hold a model.
We also offer a pneumatic counterweight for the main column to provide the ability to add additional load
without the need for additional counterweight. You could, for instance, want to mount a model and the
lights required to expose it properly that traveled with the camera off of one of the other faces of the
cube.
Our Academy Award® winning motorized Linear Slides and Rotators are often used in conjunction with
these systems.

Standard boom arm system with optional
pan/tilt head for customer supplied camera
System shown Includes twenty six foot
zoom axis track, heavy duty transmission
(servo), six foot east/west track, seven foot
north/south column, rotating cube and
standard boom extension. All four faces of
the cube are intended as mounting
surfaces for other accessories. Travels:
Zoom axis = 23 feet, east/west axis = 4 feet,
north/south axis = 5 feet and rotation of the
boom axis is infinite. Center of column to
center of nodal point pan/tilt/roll head with
standard boom extension = 7 feet.

Similar to system shown above
but with our standard four motorized peg
bar, neon backlight animation table (see
animation stand page) mounted to our
standard rotator. The shortened boom
arm with vertical offset brings the center
of the lens (while in the center of the
vertical travel) on center with the rotating
table putting everything at a comfortable
working hight for the operator. Standard
model and table top work is set up at the
opposite end of the track and the boom
axis is rotated.

In this view you can see two screws in the gusset at the front, right hand side of
the cradle holding the follow focus base. If you remove those two screws and one more
on the other side, the entire follow focus base and camera can be removed from the
pan tilt head and used on any standard tripod or head using any one of the multiple
industry standard 3/8-16 threaded holes visible in the bottom of the follow focus base.

The other screw that needs to be
removed to take the camera/follow focus
base out of the cradle is visible at the lower
front end of the follow focus base. Also
note the keyway on the side of the follow
focus base. The keyway provides precise
positioning for the camera/follow focus
assembly as well as a means to slide the
camera/follow focus in and out of the
cradle.
