Dropper Rig For Filming & Robotic Camera System

A dropper rig is perfect for slowly and steadily dropping objects, which gives the robotic camera time to snap a clear picture. 

The gate opens so fast that the product just drops perfectly well. 

The key to making great dropping shots is timing and coordination. Our robotic camera operator will ensure that the dropped objects are released at the precise moment and that the robotic camera system can capture the shot perfectly.

Possible Use

Dropper rigs can be used for a variety of professional shooting applications. For example, they can drop objects in a controlled manner for product photography, ensuring that the products are captured in their best light and that any possible damage is avoided.

Dropper rigs can also capture shots of objects falling from a great height, creating slow-motion footage of an object crashing to the ground or capturing a shot of something falling into the water.

Why Choose Us

The main differences between a professional dropper rig and a DIY one are speed and accuracy. With the professional rig, you can get twice the shots in the same amount of time. The robotic arm syncs with the dropper, ensuring that objects are dropped at the right time and place. 

Our dropper rig is made of metal, making it durable and long-lasting. It’s also designed to be quick and easy to set up, so you can get shooting immediately. Plus, our robotic arm syncs with the dropper, ensuring that your shots are always perfectly timed.

At Mars Moco, we are passionate about helping you get the needed shots. We understand that sometimes even the smallest objects can be difficult to capture on camera. Our dropper rig is the perfect solution if you’re looking for a way to capture those hard-to-get shots.
