Motion control means handing the camera to a programmed robotic arm: the move is set frame by frame, then repeated identically as many times as needed, to the millimetre and at up to 4.5 m/s. halphastudio rents two atrax® robots with their operators, in its Vaires-sur-Marne studio near Paris or anywhere in France.

The atrax® 3 robot (1.6 m reach, 17 kg, 4 m/s) is compact and sets up in under an hour: ideal for packshots and location shoots. The atrax® 6 robot (6.2 m span, 20 kg, 4.5 m/s) is built for big moves and heavy cameras. Both are rented with two operators included.
The Bolt is the historic motion control robot on film sets. Our Bolt vs atrax® comparison (in French) explains, point by point, what sets our atrax® robots apart: latest-generation mechanics, software that is faster to program, a robot already installed at the studio and an optimised day rate.
To program complex camera moves, repeat them identically and sync them with VFX, slow motion or stop motion.
Yes. Our robots are based next to the 200 m² stage: studio and robot are booked together, with no transport or set-up.
Yes. The robot repeats exactly the same camera move as often as needed: you can film several identical passes (product, talent, background) and combine them in post-production with retouched or AI-generated elements.
Yes, anywhere in France, provided there is a 400 V three-phase 32 A power supply, an unloading area and a safety zone around the arm.
