Talos

Slim, rugged design makes the Talos the ideal choice for location work

The Talos is a medium sized rig designed to be portable and adaptable, making it the first-choice system for shots where space is limited but a large range is required. Though smaller than its bigger brother the Milo, the Talos still offers a wide operating envelope and being around half the weight of the Milo, the Talos is a more affordable option if freighting is necessary.
