I'm just one guy, no studio, and a pretty cramped guy, no studio, and a pretty cramped guy, no studio, and a pretty cramped office space. What am I going to do with office space. What am I going to do with office space. What am I going to do with a full-size robot? Take over the world? a full-size robot? Take over the world? a full-size robot? Take over the world? Well, that's the video, guys. Catch you Well, that's the video, guys. Catch you Well, that's the video, guys. Catch you in the next one. Peace. in the next one. Peace. in the next one. Peace. Psych! Think I'd leave you hanging like Psych! Think I'd leave you hanging like Psych! Think I'd leave you hanging like that? We got a lot more to talk about. that? We got a lot more to talk about. that? We got a lot more to talk about. Let's dive in. Today, we're going to be learning all Today, we're going to be learning all about the Cinebot Mini and why I thought about the Cinebot Mini and why I thought about the Cinebot Mini and why I thought it was a good idea to spend my life it was a good idea to spend my life it was a good idea to spend my life savings on it. We've already done an savings on it. We've already done an savings on it. We've already done an overview of each of the rigs, so I'd overview of each of the rigs, so I'd overview of each of the rigs, so I'd like to focus a little bit more heavily like to focus a little bit more heavily like to focus a little bit more heavily on some of the key features and selling on some of the key features and selling on some of the key features and selling points for me personally. The first and points for me personally. The first and points for me personally. The first and probably the most obvious reason is its probably the most obvious reason is its probably the most obvious reason is its size and weight. This thing comes in at size and weight. This thing comes in at size and weight. This thing comes in at right around 200 lb all put together on right around 200 lb all put together on right around 200 lb all put together on track. For those of you in metric, track. For those of you in metric, track. For those of you in metric, that's around 90 kilos. A that's around 90 kilos. A that's around 90 kilos. A one-to-two-person crew could easily one-to-two-person crew could easily one-to-two-person crew could easily transport everything in a small, transport everything in a small, transport everything in a small, lightweight truck, trailer, or van and lightweight truck, trailer, or van and lightweight truck, trailer, or van and get set up and ready to shoot in under get set up and ready to shoot in under get set up and ready to shoot in under an hour, depending on some of the an hour, depending on some of the an hour, depending on some of the location considerations. And don't get location considerations. And don't get location considerations. And don't get me wrong, reduced setup times are all me wrong, reduced setup times are all me wrong, reduced setup times are all well and good, but that's not even the well and good, but that's not even the well and good, but that's not even the best part. The Mini is so light, I can best part. The Mini is so light, I can best part. The Mini is so light, I can literally just slide it across the floor literally just slide it across the floor literally just slide it across the floor with one hand. Or I can have someone with one hand. Or I can have someone with one hand. Or I can have someone help me carry it to the next shot. This help me carry it to the next shot. This help me carry it to the next shot. This means that I can film more shots in a means that I can film more shots in a means that I can film more shots in a day, which is a huge win for production. day, which is a huge win for production. day, which is a huge win for production. I also opted for the custom foam Pelican I also opted for the custom foam Pelican I also opted for the custom foam Pelican case for the arm so that I can easily case for the arm so that I can easily case for the arm so that I can easily pack it up and transport it without any pack it up and transport it without any pack it up and transport it without any worry. worry. worry. Now, I live in Florida and I have to Now, I live in Florida and I have to Now, I live in Florida and I have to deal with things such as rainy seasons, deal with things such as rainy seasons, deal with things such as rainy seasons, so it might not be a necessity for you, so it might not be a necessity for you, so it might not be a necessity for you, but it's definitely still nice to have. but it's definitely still nice to have. but it's definitely still nice to have. Let's talk about push moco because this Let's talk about push moco because this Let's talk about push moco because this feature really opens the doors to tons feature really opens the doors to tons feature really opens the doors to tons of new possibilities. And it can not of new possibilities. And it can not of new possibilities. And it can not only speed up programming for you as the only speed up programming for you as the only speed up programming for you as the operator, but it also gives other operator, but it also gives other operator, but it also gives other creative collaborators an opportunity to creative collaborators an opportunity to creative collaborators an opportunity to literally get their hands on the camera literally get their hands on the camera literally get their hands on the camera and position it however they want. If and position it however they want. If and position it however they want. If you're looking to get into motion you're looking to get into motion you're looking to get into motion control, push moco really breaks down control, push moco really breaks down control, push moco really breaks down some barriers so that you can start some barriers so that you can start some barriers so that you can start programming some basic moves in a much programming some basic moves in a much programming some basic moves in a much more intuitive way. With this handy more intuitive way. With this handy more intuitive way. With this handy little button here, you can quickly little button here, you can quickly little button here, you can quickly program moves without even needing to be program moves without even needing to be program moves without even needing to be at the computer. Uh it's helpful to have at the computer. Uh it's helpful to have at the computer. Uh it's helpful to have eyes on the screen so that you can eyes on the screen so that you can eyes on the screen so that you can ensure that key frames are being stored, ensure that key frames are being stored, ensure that key frames are being stored, or you can turn on the sound so that you or you can turn on the sound so that you or you can turn on the sound so that you have audio feedback for what you're have audio feedback for what you're have audio feedback for what you're actually doing. actually doing. actually doing.

Speed is definitely the name of the game Speed is definitely the name of the game with these new Cinebots. The whole with these new Cinebots. The whole with these new Cinebots. The whole process has become very simple, process has become very simple, process has become very simple, efficient, and honestly, just plain fun. efficient, and honestly, just plain fun. efficient, and honestly, just plain fun. For the price point, you are getting a For the price point, you are getting a For the price point, you are getting a workhorse of a robot that makes the workhorse of a robot that makes the workhorse of a robot that makes the whole experience much faster and more whole experience much faster and more whole experience much faster and more enjoyable for everyone involved. And enjoyable for everyone involved. And enjoyable for everyone involved. And while you may not have to eat some of while you may not have to eat some of while you may not have to eat some of these costs of logistics, your producer these costs of logistics, your producer these costs of logistics, your producer will be thanking you as the will be thanking you as the will be thanking you as the considerations are significantly reduced considerations are significantly reduced considerations are significantly reduced in terms of transportation, setup times, in terms of transportation, setup times, in terms of transportation, setup times, and power. Most moco shoots on one with and power. Most moco shoots on one with and power. Most moco shoots on one with any of the industrial robots will any of the industrial robots will any of the industrial robots will typically only call for a handful of typically only call for a handful of typically only call for a handful of shots. And when I say shots, I mean shots. And when I say shots, I mean shots. And when I say shots, I mean uniquely programmed moves. With the uniquely programmed moves. With the uniquely programmed moves. With the Cinebot Mini, I can quickly bounce Cinebot Mini, I can quickly bounce Cinebot Mini, I can quickly bounce around set and get all the shots the around set and get all the shots the around set and get all the shots the creative calls for. Being able to offer creative calls for. Being able to offer creative calls for. Being able to offer this level of efficiency for my clients this level of efficiency for my clients this level of efficiency for my clients has been worth every penny for me and has been worth every penny for me and has been worth every penny for me and has helped me land a lot more gigs. has helped me land a lot more gigs. has helped me land a lot more gigs. There will always be a need for There will always be a need for There will always be a need for industrial robots and the speed that industrial robots and the speed that industrial robots and the speed that they bring to the table, but for the they bring to the table, but for the they bring to the table, but for the majority of commercial work, I now have majority of commercial work, I now have majority of commercial work, I now have a tool in my back pocket that can keep a tool in my back pocket that can keep a tool in my back pocket that can keep up with production demands. Okay, let's up with production demands. Okay, let's up with production demands. Okay, let's dig into some specs, shall we? The dig into some specs, shall we? The dig into some specs, shall we? The Cinebot Mini has a reach of 1.3 m, which Cinebot Mini has a reach of 1.3 m, which Cinebot Mini has a reach of 1.3 m, which is roughly 4 ft, and it comes standard is roughly 4 ft, and it comes standard is roughly 4 ft, and it comes standard with a 500 mm riser plate, which is with a 500 mm riser plate, which is with a 500 mm riser plate, which is about a foot and a half. Uh this is about a foot and a half. Uh this is about a foot and a half. Uh this is perfect for most use cases. If you need perfect for most use cases. If you need perfect for most use cases. If you need more reach laterally, you could always more reach laterally, you could always more reach laterally, you could always opt for the track base, which extends opt for the track base, which extends opt for the track base, which extends your reach almost indefinitely on one your reach almost indefinitely on one your reach almost indefinitely on one axis, depending on how many pieces of axis, depending on how many pieces of axis, depending on how many pieces of track you decide to buy. And if you need track you decide to buy. And if you need track you decide to buy. And if you need some additional reach vertically, you some additional reach vertically, you some additional reach vertically, you can always just lift the rig onto some can always just lift the rig onto some can always just lift the rig onto some apple boxes or a platform by hand. If apple boxes or a platform by hand. If apple boxes or a platform by hand. If you do decide to lift it up onto a you do decide to lift it up onto a you do decide to lift it up onto a platform, I'd definitely recommend platform, I'd definitely recommend platform, I'd definitely recommend adding some sandbags or some weights for adding some sandbags or some weights for adding some sandbags or some weights for extra stability. The Cinebot Mini can extra stability. The Cinebot Mini can extra stability. The Cinebot Mini can also be mounted onto other pieces of also be mounted onto other pieces of also be mounted onto other pieces of camera equipment such as cranes and camera equipment such as cranes and camera equipment such as cranes and dollies, which opens up a whole world of dollies, which opens up a whole world of dollies, which opens up a whole world of possibilities. Given how lightweight the possibilities. Given how lightweight the possibilities. Given how lightweight the arm is, I was surprised to learn that arm is, I was surprised to learn that arm is, I was surprised to learn that the payload is actually the same as the the payload is actually the same as the the payload is actually the same as the Bolt Junior Plus at 10 kg, which is Bolt Junior Plus at 10 kg, which is Bolt Junior Plus at 10 kg, which is roughly 22 lb. And as with all rigs, I roughly 22 lb. And as with all rigs, I roughly 22 lb. And as with all rigs, I would recommend trying to reduce your would recommend trying to reduce your would recommend trying to reduce your camera weight and footprint so that you camera weight and footprint so that you camera weight and footprint so that you can operate well within the limits for can operate well within the limits for can operate well within the limits for better results. Uh you don't need to better results. Uh you don't need to better results. Uh you don't need to build out your camera with any wireless build out your camera with any wireless build out your camera with any wireless transmitters or batteries because uh we transmitters or batteries because uh we transmitters or batteries because uh we can actually send camera feed and power can actually send camera feed and power can actually send camera feed and power through the umbilical, which will help through the umbilical, which will help through the umbilical, which will help with weight and footprint. The Cinebot with weight and footprint. The Cinebot with weight and footprint. The Cinebot Mini package comes with almost Mini package comes with almost Mini package comes with almost everything that you need. It's always a everything that you need. It's always a everything that you need. It's always a good idea to add some spares in your good idea to add some spares in your good idea to add some spares in your kit, and I would recommend getting some kit, and I would recommend getting some kit, and I would recommend getting some WD-40 to keep rust off of your metallic WD-40 to keep rust off of your metallic WD-40 to keep rust off of your metallic pieces while they're in storage, uh some pieces while they're in storage, uh some pieces while they're in storage, uh some grease and a grease gun for the grease and a grease gun for the grease and a grease gun for the bearings, and possibly some other little bearings, and possibly some other little bearings, and possibly some other little things, but honestly, MRMC has done a things, but honestly, MRMC has done a things, but honestly, MRMC has done a fantastic job of putting together a fantastic job of putting together a fantastic job of putting together a package that just works right out of the package that just works right out of the package that just works right out of the box.
