Summary
The Monorail is one of the most innovative new ways to move small to medium cameras. It supports ping-pong automation shots, cinematic and timed presets, and live control. It has a single rail for support that can extend indefinitely (with middle hanger supports every 10 feet) in positions where other linear solutions can't go. It supports cameras up to 10 lb mounted on DJI RS gimbals. The entire solution (Pan/Tilt/Roll/Slide/Focus/Zoom) is controlled and coordinated by eMotimo's Conductor SA2.6 motion controller. You can control it locally with a gaming controller, or from the control room when connected to a wired network.

A12.0: Control a Monorail, DJI RS Gimbal, and FIZ Motors with Maestro

Features:
- Motorized RigWheels Monorail with track sensors
- Coordinated pan, tilt, roll, slide, focus, and zoom motion
- Physical inputs for every eMotimo axis of control
- Tune live-control speed and feel for each axis, map axes to the preferred inputs, and reverse direction when needed
- Maestro automatically discovers eMotimo controllers on the same network
- Set and recall 30 timed, cinematic presets
- Set and run 8 timed, cinematic loops
- Power-on positioning gets the system ready within five minutes of startup. Saved presets and loops load automatically, so operators do not have to recreate their shots each time they power on.
- Switch between connected camera rigs from Maestro’s touchscreen or built-in Stream Deck keys
- Battery or AC operation for Conductor SA2.6
- DJI RS gimbal control with camera payloads up to 10 lb (gimbal limited)
- Power and control for Tilta Nucleus-M and Nucleus-M II FIZ motors
What do you need from eMotimo?
What else do you need from a third party?
- Compatible DJI RS gimbal and its power base
- Two Tilta Nucleus-M or Nucleus-M II motors and the required cables
- Battery with D-Tap output or a compatible DC supply for the gimbal/camera
- Ethernet cabling and a network connection for Maestro and Conductor SA2.6
Steps to program:
