Juno (Technical Information)

The Juno is a medium sized motion control rig that is perfect for pack-shots and limited range shooting. It is fast, accurate and reliable enough to be used for "live action" filming, yet small enough to fit through most standard size door openings.
As the only one of its kind, it is very portable due to its unique size
The Juno incorporates 10 fully computer controlled axes with extra channels available for additional Model Movers, it is quick and easy to set up either on location or in the studio and can be packed into custom flight cases for shipment to any destination.
Currently, the head axis can be manually set in any of 5 preset angles; (0, 45, 90, 135, 180 degrees from vertical). This gives the Juno an operating range of 5' 4"(1.62m) maximum lens height (head under-slung), (or 10'2" (3.09m) with the head over-slung) and 8'8"(2.64m) maximum reach all along precision track. The overall range in any configuration is 6'1" but the Juno can be positioned onto decking to give a greater vertical lens height if required.

As part of the standard rig package, the "Guinness" 3 axis head offers Pan and Roll and Tilt. The standard head configuration is set to run a Mitchell S35 film camera with a custom motor module. The lens mount can be specified as Panavision (PV academy or full gate centre) or BNCR (academy centre only) and a range of Ground Glasses and BNCR lenses are available. Alternatively a range of standard cameras can be fitted including an ARRI 435 Advanced, without loss of range of movement.
A special unit can also be fitted to the camera platform allowing the use of "Preston" or "Arri" lens control systems. The software will accurately record and save the wireless lens movements and then repeat that motion for selected takes.
With the Mark Robert's custom FLAIR software all camera speeds from 0.01 to 120 Fps are achievable.
