KEY FEATURES
CGI INTERFACE
Producing complex camera movements for the Milo rig to perform and ensuring full integration with industry standard 3D and CGI packages such as Unreal Engine is made simple with our Flair Motion Control software. Flair allows you to pre-visualise your camera movements and transfer them to the Milo to execute on set or export the exact motion made by the rig for use in post-production.

OPTIMISED SYSTEM GEOMETRY
Capture perfectly smooth footage from ground level (or below) up to a maximum lens height of 4.1 metres with the Milo. The extending arm is adjustable in length, and if additional height is required, the Milo Long Arm option can extend the maximum lens height to over 6 metres. The ‘Target Tracking’ feature built into Flair make straight line moves and perfect arcs in any direction achievable. For an even larger reach see the Titan.

PRECISION BEARING RAIL
Designed to not bend or twist during any motion or acceleration / deceleration, the Precision Bearing Rail is the best track to use with the Milo. It’s inherent rigidity and straightness provides the ultimate stable platform for the Milo, allowing for high-accuracy at speed, even over uneven ground.
Available in 1.2, 1.8 & 3 metre sections.
LIGHTWEIGHT BEARING RAIL
Delivering higher levels of performance than industry standard dolly rails, the Lightweight Bearing Rail is lighter and more portable than the Precision Bearing rail and can be taken apart if necessary for easy transportation.
Available in 1.6, 1.8 and 3 metre sections.
