RigWheels and eMotimo combine for innovative Monorail + Conductor
2:03

Monorail + Conductor is a completely new type of camera motion control system designed to simplify complex camera movements for film & video and enable motion control to be implemented in new ways and in new places.

This is a good looking new system bought to you by the combined talents of RigWheels and eMotimo. 

The Monorail, powered by the Conductor SA2.6 from eMotimo, basically suspends a camera and gimbal beneath an infinitely extendable single rail. As a result productions can easily achieve overhead shots, long tracking sequences, and more complex cinematic movements without the need for complicated rigging.

The system has been engineered to work seamlessly with DJI Ronin RS2, RS3, and RS4 Pro gimbals, and supports a wide range of camera and lens setups. Paired with the Conductor SA2.6, productions can program up to eight axis for precise, repeatable shots. Whether using preset movements or customizing keyframes, ramping, and timing, the system has been designed to allow those with no prior motion control experience to start capturing high-quality shots quickly.

A single rail design with a beltless drive mechanism makes setup faster and simpler compared to traditional systems, while the modular rails can be added or removed as needed to suit different shot or installation requirements. Infinitely extendable is perhaps a bit of a stretch, but it will certainly expand to fulfil most needs.

Rigwheels says that a complete system including all of the third party components can be implemented for less than the cost of a single high-end PTZ camera. Currently that gets you a system for $3300 as the company has opened a pre-sale for a “very limited number” of first run units. 

Price includes:

  • Monorail carriage customized for Conductor integration.
  • 8 pieces of 19" PortaRail (12.6') with connectors and end-caps.
  • 2 pipe clamps with light stand adapters
  • eMotimo Monorail Conductor integration kit
