Driving the future of wheeled robotics A hit at this year’s IBC, Motion Impossible’s AGITO GEN 2 advances camera control with exceptional UI and modernised mechanics A nnounced at IBC 2023, the AGITO GEN 2 is the latest modular dolly system from
Motion Impossible. Building on the technology of the AGITO GEN 1, GEN 2 adds exciting new functionality, such as Silent Steering, Ethernet control, more IO/ power distribution and extra intelligence capabilities. The GEN 2 is still as portable as GEN 1, giving filmmakers, broadcasters and other video professionals greater flexibility for creative expression and cost-effective logistics. Tech specs The AGITO GEN 2 consists of a Core and Master Controller, each with its own set of unique, forward-thinking features. The AGITO Core – a must-have for dynamic camera movement – includes Silent Steering, so production crews can capture motion without being distracted by background noise. It also has a redesigned I/O system with more ports than the GEN 1, providing users with convenient, tailored power options. The GEN 2 Master Controller features improved ergonomics for a better user experience. Operators can enjoy smoother, more intuitive controls, performing tricky manoeuvres and complicated shots on even the most challenging tracks. Both the AGITO Core and Master Controller are IP54 rated, certifying its dust and water resistance.
NEXT-GENERATION Motion Impossible is taking its AGITO modular dolly system to new levels, with fresh features and some enhanced capabilities
Plus, the Master Controller’s screen itself is larger than that of the GEN 1, providing operators with a friendlier, more coherent and clearer interface. A built-in Tower/Column rocker is included for precise vertical movement while simultaneously controlling the AGITO trajectory and speed. Added Ethernet control and vibrational haptic feedback make for an upgraded connectivity and experience. The AGITO GEN 2 is a truly future- focused system, bridging the gap between Motion Impossible’s existing and prospective products. The Core is backwards-compatible with drive-ends, attachments and accessories, like the AGITO Tower, Column and Risers. It also supports AGITO Sports, a dolly system designed specifically for live sporting events, AGITO MagTrax, a model which follows a discrete magnetic strip, and AGITO Trax, a dolly system for track/rail. In conjunction with Motion Impossible’s product portfolio, the AGITO GEN 2 simplifies the set-up process – an otherwise tedious task – and enables various inventive movements across a range of filmmaking scenarios.
Get on the list for first dibs on the AGITO GEN 2. The new system is now available for pre-order, with its official release in early 2024. Visit motion-impossible.com , email info@ motion-impossible.com or call 01454 501010 for more control – as users’ needs gradually grow, the GEN 2 will grow with them. AGITO GEN 1 customers have two options: add the AGITO GEN 2 Core and Master Controller to their existing system, or go for the full upgrade, replacing GEN 1 entirely. Either way, there’s no wrong answer. Evolution of a proven system Unveiled at IBC, the AGITO GEN 2 is already a fan favourite, having made a positive impression on the production industry at large. Its modularity has proven especially appealing, with users able to assemble and disassemble the system and customise it according to their circumstances. Motion Impossible is moving towards a new age of camera tracking and
