We stopped by the Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC) booth at NAB to get a deep dive into the Cineabot lineup. Ben from MRMC Academy walks us through their precision robot arms—from the heavy-duty Cineabot Max to the ultra-portable Cineabot Nano.
Whether you're curious about how "Push Moco" works, the importance of shutter sync for repeat passes, or how to rig a robot arm to the roof of a car, this video covers the essentials of modern motion control.
In this video, you’ll learn:
The differences between the Cineabot Max, Mini, and Nano.
How Flare 7 software simplifies complex 3D camera paths.
The "Push Moco" feature for tactile keyframing.
Pro tips for shutter sync and avoiding "singularities" in post-production.
Real-world commercial applications for lightweight robot systems.
Featured Gear:
MRMC Cineabot Max / Mini / Nano
