Our Benefits

Marsmoco is on a mission to provide auspicious rental services for robotic camera systems across Canada.

 

We understand that finding a trusted and affordable rental service for robotic cameras can be stressful, so we have dedicated ourselves to providing top-quality service in this field for all brands of all sizes.

 

We understand that not every brand or project is the same. That’s why our robotic camera system is highly customizable and can be tailored to fit your specific needs.

 

Furthermore, the robotic arm moves fast and is extremely precise (with repeatability of 0.04mm) in complete unison with the camera, ensuring the final product is flawless and stunning.

 

Marsmoco is available at Qube studios in Mississauga and can provide rental services across all Canadian provinces.

Portability
Our motion control cameras are compact and easily fit through doorways. It has a portable pedestal base that makes it easily moveable and suitable for various activities and functions. Not only that, but our systems are also affordable and a great option for every business. When you contact us for a rental service, we will immediately schedule to send out the robotic system with a team that will help program movements required for shooting. This advanced equipment with unbeatable flexibility was uniquely designed to capture beautiful shots of your brand for advertising purposes.
Highly Customizable System
At Marsmoco, we understand that not every brand or project is the same. That's why our robotic camera system is highly customizable and can be tailor-made to fit your specific needs. Furthermore, the robotic arm moves smoothly and in complete unison with the camera, ensuring the final product is flawless and stunning.
Pulse Synchronization
Our robotic system can be equipped with pulse synchronisation for select cameras to ensure the robotic arm and camera always maintain perfect sync for multipass shots.
Pouring and Dropping Objects
For example, by using a robotic arm, you can pour liquid from one container into another, using our external stepper or pneumatic systems. This is much faster and more accurate than other methods due to a perfect sync with the main motion control system. The devices can be actuated at any frame. Also, a robotic arm external systems can drop objects from different heights into a test container, yielding more variable results.
Catapulting Objects
Devices connected to the robot arm can throw objects across a kitchen set or a studio. This technology has various applications, such as making a burger commercial where ketchup and mayonnaise are shot across the screen at the right moment.
Customs Rigs
Another great use for a robotic arm is creating custom rigs for your production. A custom rig can be anything from an L bracket adapter to mount the camera vertically on the arm to an elaborate setup that allows you to control product movement in complex ways. With our team of experienced engineers, we can design and build any custom rig for your business advertisement.
Frame-accurate GPO Trigger Outputs
Marsmoco's robotic arm has 4 programmable GPO trigger outputs for synchronizing pneumatics, pourers, droppers, and other devices. When actuated on the robotic arms, these devices help manipulate products during a video shoot. For example, the pourers come in very handy during a video shoot for a wine brand as it helps with the pouring of the drink while the camera captures the moment at the desired fps.
Support for External Motors
Our robotic camera arms provide support of Focus, Iris, and Zoom motors and 2 external stepper motors (rotary table, pouring rig, etc.). Each motor can be programmed and remains in sync with the moco. On a request we can expand existing motion controllers to accommodate up to 8 external motors + FIZ.
Pulse Synchronization
Pulse synchronization allows to trigger camera’s shutter in exactly the same time to achieve perfect sync for multipass shoots. In postproduction multiple plates can be combined to create an illusion of multiple objects in one space or to change the object in the frame without affecting the other objects around it. This feature is perfect for capturing movements and changing objects in the frame with precision. For example, if you wanted to capture one person in three different places in a single take, the pulse synchronization would allow you to do so perfectly. It can also be used to capture clean plated to remove rigging elements in post.
Audio Playback Synchronization
Audio playback synchronization is a process that is used to synchronize the sound to the motion control system. Can be used for live performances or music videos.
VFX Pipeline to Blender, Nuke, Maya

Visual effects (VFX) is a term used to describe imagery created, manipulated, and enhanced for a film that doesn't take place during real live shooting. It involves the integration of the actual footage with manipulated imagery to produce a realistic-looking environment that may be dangerous to shoot or simply impossible.

  • Full motion control - run multiple passes
  • Plates - for compositing & motion tracking
  • Time Remapping - adjust the timing of moves

The VFX pipeline involves the people and the steps involved in bringing such captivating imagery to life for film and TV. It includes various processes, from preproduction to visualization, through animation, rigging, 3D modelling, and more.

Our robotic camera arm rental services offer a complete studio robotics offering. We can output an FBX file from each shot and make it ready for packages such as Blender, Nuke, 3D studio, or Maya so that VFX artists can use the camera tracking data in a 3D environment.

Bloop Laser Marks
The bloop laser for the robotic camera creates a flash of light on the first and last frames. This simple efficiency of the robot helps video editors immensely as they can compose multiple plates without having to manually align the shots.
Outdoor Use
Motion control system can be transported for on-location use. Operation temperature ranges from 5 °C to 45 °C.
In-person Demos Available
We're open at our location in Toronto, Canada and we’re always happy to provide in-person demo of how our high-speed precision camera robots can impact your work. We hope that by doing this, we will combat all possible concerns you may have and subsequently get ready to work with us. Give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
