Looking forward to it. hopefully it wont be overprices and it will be affordable for us small production filmmakers. Even in Kesseler $ range. Cheers
Whaaaa!? Been waiting for a solution like this to come to the family of Cinevate sliders. Looking forward to adding a motion control kit to mine!
hello, the weight of my camera is 6 kilos, do you have a vertical slider for this ?
sorry my inglish,
Rafael.
Hey Rafael,
You bet. The Atlas 10 has a Vertical Kit and Counterbalance option, so you’d need to counterbalance the rig with the appropriate weight (our counterbalance is a hollowed pack so you can fill it accordingly).

I’ve been hoping to do better moving timelapses on my Atlas 10 so looking forward to some more info and demo videos on this powered solution. Moving the camera by hand 1/8th of an inch at a time is too tedious so this should be great.
I have an Atlas 10 35″slider and I’m interested in the DitoGear motion controller kit. What is the expected retail cost. Regards
Hey Martyn
Good question. We should have the final pricing and shipping dates very soon. Thanks for your patience.

I’m about to purchase the Pegasus slider but wanted to confirm that it can be motorized. I can see it is listed above but just wanted to confirm as otherwise I would be purchasing the Atlas 10 with vertical kit. Thanks!
Yes Steve, the motion control will work with the Pegasus slider.
Just got the Atlas 10 and loving it, but now I’m looking to motorize it. Any news on this kit’s release and price yet?
Hi Ian,
You can expect an announcement from us tomorrow which we believe will provide the information you’re looking for
any news ? thanks.
Any news on the DitoGear pricing yet? Cheers
On December 31, 2012 you stated “You can expect an announcement from us tomorrow…”. It’s now January 9. Come on guys you have buyers out there salivating at the opportunity to purchase! This waiting for pricing and availability has been going on since the announcement back in August. It would be interesting to know how many interested people out there have given up and bought into the competition. You produce great products, but this takes the shine off your customer relations.
Hey Martyn,
We do apologize for the delays. It was not our intention to mislead you or anyone with our previous announcements dates. Although we missed our January 1st announcement I can assure you that we are days away from this product launch. Thank you for your patience and your interest in this product.
Regards
Luke
Hi Martyn, you can now find the information you’re looking for at cinevate.com/moco.
