I built this 12ft long slider to solve a problem. When using the various dollies that run on regular track it's always a compromise between speed and stability, with the slidey mcslideface it comes with it's own bearing track, but because the track will travel on the top of my car we do not need a lorry for european jobs. As for other rigs I have a fixed rate for European destinations. Slidey McSlideface is on a permanent Carnet.
Morag is a moco rig specifically built to be flown without air freight. The rig consists of a head and dolly (and Focus, Zoom and Iris) with a a maximum dolly speed of 1.5 m/s and head movement of 120 degrees/second. The dolly runs on regular track (Moy/Ronford) and regular tall and short legs (I have these but I assume it's easier to get them locally). It packs into 6 boxes > 32kg. Morag has permanent carnet and can be flown at a moments notice. I have a fixed rate for various locations in Europe (Prague, Lisbon, Warsaw, Kiev etc)

KT is a moco rig that runs on regular track, but the dolly base is much heavier duty so that much larger rigs can be built on it.
Kuper and Mantis.
"New Build" Kuper computers with new (legacy) motherboards and new 2001 cards. Tower rigs for Studio use and "Suitcase" rigs for location work.
Mantis controllers with Panasonic toughbooks built into flight cases Mains or Battery operated.
Heads
We have Sorensen, Vinten and Moy heads (Moy head will take an MSM Imax camera).
Sliders and Track
We have 2m and 4m servo driven sliders
We also have Doorway sized bearing track (Suitable for train carriages).
Gazelle
We have two 12 ft lengths of track (24ft in total 20ft of travel).
IMC RIG
We have an IMC moco rig which is a very heavy duty 20ft length of track and a Heavy duty lift section, The dolly can move a lightened (No engine) car easily. The lift section is usually used with animation but can be used with the track if required. This is particularly usefull for moving sets for both animation and realtime motion control. It can be used with other motioncontrol systems or with a pan/tilt/track rig.
Custom
All the equipment shown here is built by us and we can build custom rigs as required.
