Cinema Robots
COLOSSUS is MP largest camera robot, stands tall at 14 feet. Its sleek design and efficient size are the reasons behind its ability to move with steady and swift motion.
Founded in Portland, Oregon, by professional filmmakers, Motorized Precision knows the value of intuitive and accessible technology. They designed their products to be just that, making cinema robotics easier to use for cinematographers and directors, helping them plan, capture and achieve incredible results.
KIRA With six axis control KIRA can make camera moves you can't achieve any other way. KIRA's unlimited axis 4 and 6 allows you to create moves none of the competition can come close to!
MIA With 6-axis control MIA can create intricate camera moves, ideal for product photography and working in tighter studio spaces.
KINO KINO is MP light-weight, portable, high-speed camera robot KINO extends to a height of 9’6”. With an impressive payload capacity of 44 LBS, KINO effortlessly handles the demands of various camera setups, making this motion control robot the most versatile, reliable and affordable filming companion.
VIGO The model mover
Vigo is the model moves solution, the MP's dancer and bartender. Coordinating in perfect sync with all MP camera robots throughout MP link VIGO opens the doot to exponentially complex precision moves.
“Such an impressive cinema robot with its 22.30 f/s shooting speed and camera payload of 50 lbs, and the ability to get to 4'7" lower position. This is a perfect shooting solution for choreographed movement created by MP STUDIO, the MP proprietary software for programming and play complex camera moves” - Showmug

MP Studio is designed with real world workflows in mind to be the world's most simple and intuitive motion control software.
"What you can achieve with this fantastic tool is simply mind-blowing!! First, the replication which is key for every motion control solution. MP Studio allows the user to save presets and create alternate version of the camera moves. The Fiz module - shortname for Focus, Iris, Zoom - gives the user a complete control on all these crucial camera features. The Advanced target feature allows for an impressive object target tracking and it is very crucial when it comes to design a move, setting multiple targets and move between then with perfect simplicity”.
Another great feature is the smart focus, so the user can map a specific lens, set a target and let the robot do the rest. It focuses at any stop and any speed. Worried about rig collisions? There is a warning system in place so to avoid moves hitting into the robot arm before they happen, with built in collision detection offline. The time-lapse feature is another MP Studio amazing highlight, in fact you can control the camera and the robot frame by frame and set the lengh of the time lapse.
MP studio offers live monitoring so the user can check live footage preview and playback. MP Studio allows the user to import or create 3D models and then export camera, targets & animations to major VFX tools like MAYA, Blender etc. Thanks to its complex I/O features, network and hardware triggers it is possible to control external devices like turntables and operate them alongside camera moves.

Within MP Studio it is also possible to recreate your studio or entire environment with incredible accuracy. You can even import a LiDAR scan or build with the 3D tools of MP Studio.
Finally MP studio can link multiple robots and drive them simultaneasly to create complex moves along with other rigs or model movers.
Use a gamepad to move the rig !
MP - AR
Visualize, design, playback, and export.
MP AR is a go-anywhere, do-everything motion control robotics app . With a focus on simplicity, MP AR not only simplifies but also enhances creative freedom, revolutionizing the motion control workflow from its very foundation.
KEY features: PRE-VIZ Visualize the robots on location with built-in IK. The 1:1 robot model will move to the position in the set space so the user can check it fits and how the move plays out. DESIGN MOVES The user can record or keyfram move types to design out and test any idea inside a real-world environment. Include importing of USDZ AR objects.
SEE YOUR PATH Playback moves in-app to see what the moving path looks like and how the robot would move inside a real location. EXPORT Export the move to MP Studio to run directly on the robot after it is exported. It is also possible to export a clip to share via Imessage or email to clients or as a reference of the shot. QR CODES Use custom QR codes to store robot position and quickly make ​targets.
