eMotimo Monorail + Conductor - Single Rail Camera Motion Control

Emotimo and RigWheels teamed up. Combining the Monorail by RigWheels, and driven by the eMotimo Conductor SA2.6, the result is a revolutionary camera motion control system designed to simplify complex camera movements for large-scale shots. The unique design allows for smooth and precise camera operation in various environments, supporting a wide range of camera and lens setups. The system is engineered to work seamlessly with DJI Ronin gimbals, offering up to 8 axis of movement for precise and repeatable cinematic shots.

The Monorail is user-friendly, making it easy for both experienced operators and beginners to achieve professional-level results. Its lightweight and portable design, made with precision-machined aluminium components, allows for easy transportation and setup. With its versatility and robust construction, the Monorail system is ideal for a wide range of filming environments, empowering creators to capture complex shots with confidence and precision.

In The Box

1x Monorail carriage customized for Conductor integration.
8x pieces of 19" PortaRail (12.6') with connectors and end-caps.
2x pipe clamps with light stand adapters
1x eMotimo Monorail Conductor intrgration kit

Other items needed (not included)

• DJI RS2, RS3, RS4 gimbal
• Camera compatible with gimbal
• Power base for the gimbal
• Power source with dtap distribution
• Nucleus M or DJI focus/zoom motors as needed (only one DJI motor can be controlled through the Ronin. If both focus and zoom are needed Nucleus M motors would be required)
• Image transmission as needed
•  

Can I use _____ gimbal with this? Yes, with Ronin RS2, RS3, RS4 gimbals.

You can use the Monorail Conductor independently as a "smart" linear solution but you would need to control non-supported gimbals separately.

The eMotimo Conductor supports communication with Ronin RS2, RS3, RS4 gimbals.

If your RS2,3,4 Pro gimbal has the expansion port to take the DJI Focus Knob, you are set. If it can't, it doesn't have the correct connection to enable the Conductor to communicate with it.

Can I use _____ camera with this?

You can use any camera/lens combination that the above gimbals support.

Can I move _____ with this?

You can use this solution as a programmable linear system to move anything so long as the load is relatively centered underneath the carriage.

Can I connect this to a network?

The Conductor SA2.6 has a several ways you can communicate with it. One of the most powerful, extendable and reliable ways is through its wired network port.

The Conductor has a 10/100 Network Connection that can be configured in many ways. The most common is to plug it into a wired network to obtain an IP address from your router (Dynamic or Static) and serve as a TCP Server to reply to commands issues to it. Typically This enables communication from anything on the network that can see that IP address.

Once on the network, eMotimo can talk to Bitfocus Companion (prebuilt configurations) , Skaarhoj Controllers (prebuilt configurations), Dragonframe, and our open and published eMotimo API for those that want to incorporate control into other applications. Unlike inexpensive devices that rely solely on spotty and variable latency wireless communication, the Conductor's wired network port gives reliable, low latent performance over long distances for production environments for short and long terms installations.

Conductor also has an onboard Wifi receiver that may be turned on to enable faster run and gun setups, but at this time only the wired connection is fully supported.

What is the weight capacity?

Because "hangers" can be placed in-between sections of PortaRail, the Monorail system can be setup to support heavy loads. The limitation for weight comes from the compatible gimbals. The RS4 Pro supports a payload of 10 pounds.

How far can I extend the rails?

Using hangers from Rigwheels you can extend the PortaRail as long as needed. Without support you can expect a useable span of about 20' with an acceptable amount of flex in the rail.

Does this work with PTZ cameras?

You can use the Monorail Conductor as a "transport" for a PTZ system but you would not have the smart coordination of pan/tilt/zoom/focus/slide coming from one controller. The PTZ and slide would be controlled independently.

Can I integrate this with my PTZ system?

Yes! With the camera/lens options available from major manufacturers there is certainly a way to get a Monorail + Conductor system integrated into your current PTZ workflow.
