Bolt Pedestal

The first choice for high-speed table top shots

The Bolt arm has super-fast acceleration, going from standstill to high-speed and back in fractions of seconds. This gives it the ability to follow falling objects whilst capturing images in crisp focus that would be impossible by any other method.

Rig Fixing

While the Bolt can be used with counter weights for some shots, if you are looking to achieve the highest speeds with the smoothest possible results the optimum mounting for the rig is to fix it to the floor. This is the suggested method of use. Mr Moco bring to set the equipment necessary to fix to sound concrete floors. It only requires x4 20mm holes drilled to a depth of 65mm, these are filled with M16 plugs that the rig can be screwed into.

Power Connection

Power requirements Requires 3 x 400-415V, 32 amps, and 32 m/a rcd. Draws approx 3kva. ( Ask about possibility of single phase 32amp)
