Home Built Motion Control Systems.

Hey Jim,
thanks. Will post the video link so people can see that beauty. As for FB, I also have issues but it was the easiest cheapest way for me to get all my photos and vids in one place. The page is public so maybe you can post without having to join FB? Give it a try and tell me what happens. Hope your upgrades are going well.
Cheers,
Doug.
 
Hey Jim,
thought I would post this for another moco friend of mine. Not sure if he is here on this board but this rig is so cool I wanted to let people have a look.

Gerald works in the industry so for him this is just another day at the office.
Cheers,
Doug.
 
Hi Doug, that's a real beauty of a rig... fast and powerful! I'm aware of Gerald through your posts, and my goal is to to be "Mantis Worthy" at some point soon!

For those new to things, Gerald is the creator of a software/hardware real-time motion control product called Mantis... it's an alternative to the more expensive Kuper and other systems allowing for 8 axis of motion and DMX control.

Here's a link to his site...

Doug has many examples of his use of Mantis on his excellent Facebook page he linked to a few posts above in the thread...

Doug, please keep up the good work, your page is evolving into an excellent resource of information, videos and pictures, Historical, Professional, and DIY rigs. While I can't post there unless I join up on Facebook, I do check it almost every day.

Regards.
