Introducing the Game-Changer in Motion Control Technology

Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), a subsidiary of Nikon, has just unveiled the Cinebot Nano, their smallest and most budget-friendly motion control system ever! This revolutionary device brings professional-grade robotic camera movements right into your hands, starting at an accessible price of £20,000 (approximately $27,000).

Compact Design Meets Professional Power

The Cinebot Nano boasts a sophisticated nine-axis robotic arm with a reach of one meter and can support cameras weighing up to 7kg (15.4lbs). It's designed to seamlessly integrate with top-notch Tilta zoom and focus controls, making it ideal for a wide range of productions.

Traveling with Ease: The Ultimate Portable Solution

One of the most exciting features of the Nano is its unbeatable portability. Compactly fitting into three travel cases—each weighing under 32kg (70lbs)—the entire system totals just 49kg! This lightweight design means it can easily clear airline check-in limits, allowing crews to whisk it from location to location and set it up in mere minutes on different setups, be it a pedestal, tripod, or even a car rig.

Blazing Speeds for Dynamic Productions

For those seeking cinematic dynamism, the Cinebot Nano can be equipped with an optional precision 1.45m (5ft) track that allows it to zip along at speeds of up to 1m/s (3.2ft/s). When combined with its agile robotic arm, the camera can accelerate to over 4m/s, achieving arm speeds of 3.2m/s along with rotation speeds that reach an impressive 225°/s!

Powerful Performance Anywhere

The Cinebot Nano's versatility extends to its power options as well. It can operate continuously on standard AC mains or remain mobile for up to 10 hours using battery power—perfect for field scenarios where larger systems are simply impractical.

User-Friendly Software for All Levels

Each Cinebot Nano comes with Flair Lite, a streamlined version of MRMC's well-known motion control software. This intuitive software strips away the complexity while preserving precision, with no subscription fees—your license is included with the purchase! Plus, with the Push Moco feature, users can manually position the arm and instantly record motions as keyframes, allowing for swift, professional camera movements without the hassle of complicated programming.

Who can Benefit from the Cinebot Nano?

Given that traditional motion control systems often carry price tags exceeding $100,000, the Cinebot Nano positions itself as a game-changer for smaller productions. It's the ideal entry point into advanced robotic systems without compromising the features typically found in high-end models.

The Future Awaits at IBC 2025

For those eager to see this innovation firsthand, the Cinebot Nano will be showcased at IBC 2025, located in Hall 11, Booth C20. It will be featured alongside MRMC’s larger models, the Cinebot Mini and Cinebot Max—showcasing the exciting possibilities that this portable motion control system brings to the industry!
