Talos (motion control rig)
Talos is a medium-sized portable motion-control rig from Mark Roberts Motion Control. It is designed to combine a wide operating envelope with true location portability — a fully assembled Talos can lift a camera up to 3.4 m while still fitting through a standard doorway — which has made it a favourite on location shoots inside houses, apartments, and heritage buildings.
