John Pry, Owner/President of JitaCam, recently deployed the system at the Oscars. "Using the AGITO MagTrax in combination with our Shotover G1 at the 94th Oscars allowed the JitaCam team to effortlessly transition along the stage for some amazing shots, while concealing the path under the carpet," he said. "All of the award recipients were able to cross our path without even knowing it. It was both production and set design friendly and never distracted the eye with unseemly track."
AGITO MagTrax allows the same maneuverability as free-roaming mode, easily navigates a combination of curves, and can transition seamlessly from one magnetic guidance strip to another with guaranteed, repeatable path following. The AGITO autonomously follows each mag strip, freeing up operator bandwidth for camera control.
Speed control for both straight or curved paths is automatically adjusted depending on the arc of the magnetic strip and magnetic markers, and manual speed and directional control can be resumed at any time by the AGITO operator. MagTrax also offers collision detection with automatic e-stop, and a configurable front and rear lighting system for pre-production and production state awareness.
Key Features:
- Magnetic strip guided system for discreet tracked applications using either laid or set-embedded tack
- The same maneuverability as free roaming with guaranteed repeatable movement
- Automatic speed control for straight or curved track
- Bumper, collision detection, and automatic e-stop
- Configurable front and rear lighting system for pre-production and production state awareness
Benefits:
- Optimizes single-person operation
