MACRO & MICRO FILMING

Dark field macro bench

Our macro/micro facility - designed to achieve higher, vibration free magnifications of up to x 50.  It's also designed to work either horizontally or vertically.

​

We can use micro Nikkor and Leitz Photar lenses with excellent results or for higher magnifications we use Nikon CF Plan objectives with longer working distances (160TL)

​

A special feature of the bench is the motorised control of all camera movements (X Y + Z axes, plus rotation). 

 

The profiles for these can be precisely adjusted for ramping, mid-shot variations etc. and can be reloaded for repeats as necessary.

​

MOTION TRACKING UNITS

​

lightweight aluminium alloy rail

1.5 to 6 metre lengths available

suitable for both DSLR and full weight cameras

​

2 types of drive motor available

​

 

TYPE 1  DIRECT DRIVE FOR FAST REAL TIME TRACKS

​

optional joystick for analog speed control

remote radio control of the unit

remote operation of the camera utility over a wireless link

Canon 5D on motion  track
Using RED camera on motion track
Canon 5D on rotary timelapse drive

TYPE 2  STEPPER MOTOR DRIVE FOR 

​

timelapse

controlled movement

jerk free start

accurate repeatable camera moves

​

laptop controllable via dedicated software  (through USB link)

​

profiles designed on the laptop can be stored in the motor controller (up to 8 or optionally 16 separate proflies can be stored

​

multiple stepper motors can be controlled simultaneously

(each needs its own controller)

​

PC control offers accurate adjustment of:

​

jerk free start characteristics

rate of acceleration

target speed

directional number of repeats

graphical representation of profile

selectable units - degrees, millimetres and steps

easy removal of the stepper motor drive from the track rail means it can also be used as a stand alone unit for rotary timelapse (pan or tilt)
