Introducing the Game-Changer in Motion Control

Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), now under the Nikon umbrella, has just unveiled the MRMC Cinebot Nano, heralded as the company’s most compact and budget-friendly motion control system ever! Priced starting at just £20,000 (approximately $27,000), this innovative robot condenses high-end cinematic camera movements into a highly portable package.

Compact Yet Powerful: The Features You Need to Know!

At the heart of the Cinebot Nano is a cutting-edge nine-axis robotic arm boasting an impressive one-meter reach and a hefty 7kg (15.4lb) camera payload capability. What’s more, it seamlessly integrates with Tilta’s zoom and focus controls, making it a versatile tool for any production.

Travel-Friendly Design: Motion Control on the Go!

One of the standout features of the Nano is its incredible portability. The entire system disassembles into three manageable travel cases – for the arm, track, and control – each weighing under 32kg (70lbs). This enables filmmakers to easily transport it via airline check-ins. In total, the system weighs in at just 49kg, allowing for quick location changes and rapid set-up, whether on a pedestal, tripod, or even rigged to a vehicle!

Speed Meets Precision: Movie-Making at its Best!

For productions that crave dynamic movement, an optional precision 1.45m (5ft) track allows the Nano to glide at speeds of up to 1m/s (3.2ft/s). When combined with the robotic arm, camera velocity skyrockets to over 4m/s! With the arm’s own speed hitting a stunning 3.2m/s and rotation capabilities of up to 225°/s, filmmakers have the tools at their fingertips to create breathtaking shots.

User-Friendly Software: Get Started Instantly!

The Cinebot Nano comes equipped with Flair Lite, a streamlined version of MRMC’s acclaimed software. This easy-to-navigate platform focuses on essential features without overwhelming users, and best of all, it doesn’t require a subscription; ownership is bundled with your purchase. Additionally, the innovative Push Moco feature allows users to swiftly position the arm and record movements as keyframes, enabling instant camera motion creation!

Who Should Invest in the MRMC Cinebot Nano?

Traditionally, motion control systems have been the stuff of dreams for smaller studios, with price tags upwards of $100,000. However, MRMC’s strategic pricing at £20,000 makes the Cinebot Nano an accessible entry point for smaller productions, delivering professional-grade features at a fraction of the cost. While competitors like Motorized Precision’s EVO exist, MRMC is confident that the Nano’s portability and lifetime software license make it the superior choice.

Catch the Cinebot Nano in Action!

Mark your calendars! The Cinebot Nano will be showcased at IBC 2025 in Hall 11, Booth C20, alongside its larger siblings, the Cinebot Mini and Cinebot Max. Don’t miss your chance to witness the future of motion control technology!
