The Result
Weirdos
Refers to the unique, custom-built devices that bring creative precision and unpredictable flair to our high-speed productions. This includes smoke machines for atmospheric effects, trigger systems that sync camera and motion events with split-second accuracy, motorized turntables for seamless 360° object rotation, crashboxes for dramatic impact captures, and specialized grip equipment engineered to safely manipulate props and rigs. These tools, often custom-integrated with our robotic and camera systems, enable us to push the boundaries of cinematic motion control and craft mesmerizing slow-motion visuals with exact timing and dynamic artistry.

3/8″-16 tapped holes for easy mounting
combine w/fluid head to achieve straight down shot
Matthews CAM Tank is designed to accept all large format camera plates or direct mount to any large or medium format camera equipped with 3/8″-16 mounting holes. The CAM Tank was designed for extremely low shots, without taking away your ability to pan and tilt the camera. It is also used to achieve dutch angles when mounted to a fluid head, or shots designed to be pointed straight down off of a fluid head on a tripod or jib. The bottom of the plate has 17 strategically placed 3/8″-16 tapped holes spaced 1″ apart, complying with Motion Picture Industry Standards. The system is CNC machined out of 6061 T6 aluminum, stainless steel hardware. The pan bearing uses a machined polyoqymethyline, delrin disk, which self-lubricates and has an endurance rating 100x more than any plastic. The tilt system uses 4 premium NSK deep grooved ball bearings, made in Japan. Both pan and tilt functions come with brakes for lock off shots and camera safety.

Powered by the improved Zynq 7Z020 processor (instead of DE0-Nano).
LTC input for perfectly synchronized, repeatable live-action passes.
Integrated fan for temperature control.
Uses a 3.5mm TRS input (mini stereo headphone jack) for camera shutter/meter instead of XLR.
Roll Rig II is a device developed by Chinese company Movcam with an aim to keep the camera perfectly levelled in any shooting situation or to use it as a 4th axis for unlimited roll.
It can be used on top of the steadicam sled, and that way it provides you a perfect level no matter in what position is your sled.
It can be used on various stabilized heads to act as a 4th axis, that means you’ll get unlimited roll on a push of a button.
It can be used on a tripod or dolly to achieve perfectly centered unlimited roll.
It can be used in handheld mode, to keep the roll in level or to achieve unlimited roll.
