The original Milo has been a mainstay of many productions over the years and is one of the most popular option control rigs in the business. The Super Milo is a significant upgrade.
Nikon-owned and now RED stablemate MRMC has taken the wraps off the
Super Milo. The new rig builds on the Academy award-winning Milo legacy, significantly enhancing speed, acceleration, reach, and providing quick assembly. Speeds of up to 3 m/s on track and 5 m/s with combined camera movement can be achieved for high-speed filming. MRMC says it is equipped with state-of-the-art brushless motors and achieves speeds up to 100% faster (and accelerations up to 400% quicker) than the original Milo.
The rig can take a camera payload of 35kg, ie most things, and has a maximum height of 6.1 meters.
Electronic lifting actuators expedite track setup. The company says that setup times have been throttled back to under an hour, and the new rig is fitted with an electric jacking system that makes rail assembly faster than ever.
