Get the shot with one system
Whatever the type of shot you want, the axiiio nano system has a solution. It’s flexible… no, we mean REALLY flexible... like, AMAZINGLY flexible. Add programmable motion control to any camera, any rig, any job, anywhere.
Product Shots
You can use the axiiio nano system to automate your product photography using the motion pancake and a turntable. Create multiple shots in one pass to get the perfect angle.
Linear motion
Create high-quality dolly shots by automating your slider with one of our motion pancakes. You can choose from a belt drive or capstan version which uses a simple rope line. The capstan version is very flexible allowing for many different types of rigs to be created.
Stop motion animation
You can use the axiiio nano system to create camera movement in your stop motion animation scenes. We're working on integrations with popular stop motion capture software which will become available in future firmware upgrades.
High speed filming
The axiiio nano motion system can move very fast, making high-speed moves for slow motion cinematography possible. Rotational axes are capable of up to 420° rotation per second.
Dolly zooms
Because you can control any combination of lens rings and motion axes, fully automated dolly zooms are simple to set up and do. You can also create the Hitchcock effect as a timelapse.
Focus stacking
The axiiio nano systems flexibility allows you to connect to a wide variety of third-party equipment. In this example we've used it on a focus stacking rig to create beautiful high-resolution close-ups.
Timelapse photography
Generate stunning time lapses with a flexible system that enables you to take only the axis that you need to a location. From a single pan axis to 4 axis control, axiiio nano components get the job done.
Composite shots
Predictable motion enables you to do multilayered composite shots with camera movement. Frame accurate digital compositing across different program types is a reality with the axiiio nano system. This is an area of special effects that was out of reach for most filmmakers only a few years ago.
nano receiver & motor
The nano motor and receiver are made of carbon fibre and aerospace aluminium, engineered to be the lightest and most powerful camera motion system on the planet. The receiver weighs a tiny 128 g (4.5 ounces) whilst maintaining the most functionality of any controller. The motor weighs just 180 g (6.4 ounces) but is capable of moving loads up to 10 kg (22 pounds) when mounted on the nano pancake.
One system – expandable
Add motors and pancakes to expand a single axis into 4.
Create your own rigs
If you want to create your own rigs, the axiiio nano system is flexible enough for you to build anything you can imagine. The axiiio nano motors can control rotational or linear motion, including lens control, so you can build any rig to suit your needs.
Flexibility is standard
Engineered for tool-less assembly and extremely simple and fast to set up, the heart of the axiiio nano system is the motor and pancake. Convert a lens ring motor to linear or rotational control in seconds. One motor—one system.
ProMoCo brings it together
The hardware is only as good as the software that controls it. That's why we've spent a lot of time and effort designing and testing ProMoCo. We can confidently say that ProMoCo is the most flexible motion control system for filmmakers and photographers period. What makes it more remarkable is that it's simple and intuitive to use, so creating new rigs sets and programming motion is a breeze.
