High speed, precision and full repeatability.

Cinema robots add an entirely new perspective to filming – whether shooting tabletop, live action commercials, film, glambot or television. Capture images that would be impossible to achieve by any other method.

Range of robots ready for various projects

  • with the longest arm reach and up to 18 meters of track! We have two of these, ready for your shoot.


    Putting several robots to work on the same set – as separate units or in a single shot (where one handles the camera and another an object) opens up new levels of efficiency and the ability to achieve even the most creative scenes. 

  • An essential tool for high-speed, SFX, and tabletop shots. It has also graced numerous events as a Glambot.

  • A compact arm with an 80cm wide base. perfect for special tasks. We've even used it in bus and tram! It can run on 230V battery power.

  • Designed for precise, repeatable object movement.

Our robots

They are the fastest cinema robots on the market.

Bolt on tracks (x2)

  • Follow any object, person, or landscape to give much more flexibility in terms of visual creativity. Capable of speeds of up to 5 metres per second, execute any number of complex camera movements with pinpoint accuracy for new levels of dynamic high-speed camera tracking shots.

    tech spec

Bolt Arm

  • Moves from standstill to full high-speed motion and back to a complete stop in fractions of a second – capturing the fastest action with pinpoint accuracy. The precision robotic arm is capable of horizontal and vertical movement speeds of up to 2 metres per second, and 180-degrees of rotation in 1 second.

Bolt JR pedestal

  • Compact, lighter weight high-speed camera robot with a longer reach. The agile, smaller rig also comes with an increased camera payload (10kg) and is an ideal solution for smaller spaces or location work.

    tech spec

Model mover

  • Extremely versatile lightweight 6-axis highspeed arm capable of full manipulation of products with repeat pass precision, timing and triggering capabilities.

    Mount utensils like forks, spoons or even sports accessories such as shoes or rackets to get the most dynamic high-end shots.

Practical information

Here are some technical information regarding working with Bolt on tracks.

  • Bolt weighs about 700 kg

    Bolt is not detachable into smaller parts and cannot be carried up the stairs

    It enters the position on the set on a small transport wheels

    The minimum required width of the location door is 148cm

    The Bolt Arm base or Bolt on tracks rail ends are loaded with 560kg weights for stability

    For full stability in a very fast movement for full stability, it is best to screw the base to the studio floor (drilling 4 holes in the concrete floor of the studio).

    The rails are straight sections 3m long each section + 50cm plates for the weights on the end of the track.

    The weight of 1 rail section is 80 kg

    There are 9 meters of rails in our basic set for Bolt on tracks. The rails set can be optionally extended up to 18m.

    More rails require more service technicians and more time to install.

    Rails require an even and stable surface.

    In difficult, uneven locations, it may be necessary to build a platform for the rails, by an external grip or rigging crew

    In Poland, we recommend the Grip7 team.

  • Setting up a Bolt arm pedestal or Bolt Junior+ takes approximately 45 minutes

    Setting up Bolt on tracks takes approximately 1.5 hours to set up (depending on the track length).

    The installation and calibration of the camera (takes 15 to 30 minutes. The assistance of a camera technician is necessary).

    Once the camera is ready, the Bolt operator can start programming the movements.

    Easy, simple movements are programmed in a few - several minutes. Complex, long movements with many curves take much longer to program.

    If multiple scenes are planned to be shot or moves are complex, we suggest a test day for programming, the day before the shoot, on the set, with the same camera and lenses as for the shoot.

    We can export motion data for post-production in the .fbx format.

  • Light weight cameras are recommended: Alexa Mini, RED, Phantom, Rialto extender for Sony Venice.

    For high-speed moves, lightweight lenses are recommended (safety in the emergency arm stop)

    For greater freedom of movement, it is best to use a power supply with a 4m cable instead of a battery for the camera

    Focus is usually programmed by the Bolt operator. But for scenes with unpredictable, improvised actors’ choreography, or the need for improvised focus, a manual focus and focus puller are necessary.

  • Powering from a generator is recommended. Back currents, even from a properly functioning robot, can trip the studio's fuses. A generator eliminates this risk.

    A separate power line 32 Amp

    Power consumption 3kW

  • Bolt is not sound-proof due to the motor noises.

    Bolt is not rain-proof since the electronics are built into the rig.

    Bolt should be covered on the spot until the rain has stopped.
