Super Milo | Where Macro Precision Meets High-Speed
MRMC (Mark Roberts Motion Control) Super Milo is a ground-up redesign and significant upgrade to the award-winning Milo. It delivers major improvements in speed, acceleration, reach, stability, and overall performance, offering the most precise and stable motion control solution on the market while meeting the demanding high-speed requirements of modern film and virtual productions.
Product Overview
Building upon the Milo’s legendary smooth movement and pinpoint accuracy, the Super Milo pushes robotic camera motion control to new levels. It excels at executing complex, high-precision camera moves and integrates seamlessly with virtual production systems. It is ideal for macro, tabletop, CGI, virtual production, and live-action shoots.
Key Performance Specifications:
- Maximum Speed: 5 m/s on track with combined camera movement
- Reach: Extends up to 6.1 m with long arm attachments
- Payload: Supports cine cameras up to 35 kg
- Precision: Best-in-class with 0.1 mm movement accuracy
- Acceleration: Up to 400% faster than the original Milo
Key Highlights
1. Exceptional Speed & Acceleration
Powered by high-performance brushless motors, the Super Milo offers double the overall speed and 400% faster acceleration on track compared to its predecessor, making it perfect for dynamic, high-speed shots.
2. Extended Reach & Optimized Geometry
With modular arm extensions, the reach increases from 3.1 m to 6.1 m. The optimized design allows smooth, stable movements from below ground level (-0.75 m) up to a maximum height of 6.1 m, greatly expanding creative shooting possibilities.
3. Superior Portability & Fast Setup
- Integrated wheel units enable one person to deploy the system in under one hour in studio or on location.
- 24VDC electronic lifting actuators independently raise each wheel unit for quick track mounting.
- The rig can be transported intact, supporting rapid on-set relocation.
4. Virtual Production Integration
Fully compatible with leading VFX and virtual production software such as Unreal Engine. It streams real-time positional data and synchronizes seamlessly with LED walls for immersive virtual production workflows.
5. Modular Precision Engineering
- Easily expandable with 1.5 m arm extension pieces.
- Maintains exceptional stability and smoothness across all shooting angles, from low to high positions.
