eMotimo has stopped the production of the TB3

eMotimo as accounced that they have stopped producing the very popular TB3. This is the original announcement:

We’ve stopped producing TB3s and the ones we have in stock are running out quickly. It has been an incredible product but it’s time for us to focus our energies on something new. Before we talk about what happens next, we’d like to talk about where the TB3 has been and what made it successful enough to disrupt an industry.

We are very happy to mention that the Rhino Slider Pro is now in stock in our online store. This slider can be combined with the TB3 black which gives you a perfect, affordable, 3-axis motion control system.

The Rhino 4ft slider Pro consists of solid stainless steel which rails are machined down to micron precision to provide the smoothest, most reliable motion of any camera slider. Riding on 6 wheels, packed with 12 high performance bearings, the carriage evenly distributes the weight of your camera setup.

Introducing the ElysiaVisuals timelapse device isolator

You can use a lot of equipment when you are making timelapse movies with motion control. We have a lot of this equipment available in our online store. But what to do when you want to connect your devices? For example how can you connect an MX2, MX3 to an eMotimo? We had the same questions when we implemented the integration between our (soon) upcoming exposure ramper with the MX3 and TB3.

Dragon Frame 3.5 now supports the eMotimo TB3 black out of the box

One big advantage of the eMotimo TB3 black pan and tilt head is its integration with Dragon Frame. Dragon Frame can be used to accomplish complex, but accurate moves by defining key frames on your axis. This was always easy to setup, but the latest 3.5 release really makes life easy. The eMotimo axis are now supported out of the box by Dragon Frame. No more guess work about the optimal settings when you define an axis in Dragon Frame.

How to use the TB3 and the Stage One with Dragon Frame

We have been experimenting with Dragon Frame for a while now. Dragon Frame is a great piece of software that you can use to control stepper motor based motion control hardware. We were particularly interested in using Dragon Frame for complex multi axis moves with the Dynamic Perception Stage One slider combined with the eMotimo TB3 black pan and tilt head.
