Motion Impossible, the company behind the world’s first modular, remote-controlled robotic camera dolly system, has secured exclusive rights to sell Antares, a new and compact yet powerful stabilised remote head from FoMaSystems.
Available for purchase direct from Motion Impossible, Antares can be bought either as a standalone unit for UK customers, or bundled with Agito as part of a complete, integrated cinematic broadcast solution, available globally.
About Antares
Antares is built for productions where space is at a premium, but speed, precision and flexibility are everything––think news studios, concert venues, houses of worship, sports stadiums, etc.
At 25% smaller than the industry-standard 360 Evo, it’s a marvel of engineering, slipping into cramped environments without compromising on power. Available in two sizes (11-inch and 12-inch), it weighs just 13kg (28.66lbs) and 13.8kg (30.4lbs) respectively, supporting payloads of 22.5kg (49.6lbs) and 23.5kg (51.8lbs).
This makes it versatile enough for everything from broadcast and cinematic cameras to mirror rigs and immersive setups. With an adjustable height range of 492mm (19.37in) to 621mm (24.45in) for the 11-inch and 529mm (20.82in) to 638mm (25.12in) for the 12-inch, Antares offers flexibility for different shots, while its 435mm (17.13in) width ensures it won’t crowd your space.
But what truly sets Antares apart is its exceptional creative control. Featuring three stabilised axes across both models, it offers unlimited pan via slip ring, a tilt range of +60° / -220° and 360° roll for continuous rotation.
With a 180° per second movement speed across all axes, Antares keeps pace with even the most rapid, high-pressure broadcast setups, allowing for instant, on-the-fly adjustments to changing live action. Plus, built-in lens control for Fujinon and Canon lenses lets you easily tweak zoom, focus and iris, while real-time AR data (pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus) ensures you’re always fully informed and in command of the system’s performance.
True to FoMaSystems’ reputation, Antares is designed for ease of use. Controlled via LAN, it supports both local and cloud-based operation––essential for today’s expanding shift toward remote production workflows.
And, whether you’re operating from the studio or from a distance, you can rely on its SDI and fibre passthrough for reliable, high-quality video transmission.
Together, Agito and Antares form a complete, highly flexible camera movement solution designed to elevate broadcast production with cinematic quality. Putting creative control firmly back in the hands of operators, Agito’s precision in commanding speed, direction, framing and height (via the Agito Tower/Column) is complimented by Antares’s exceptional camera and lens control. Both systems are compact, intuitive to use and quick to set up, meaning just two operators can run the entire solution without the usual technical complexities or crew overhead typical of traditional rigs––allowing you to focus on capturing the story, not the tech behind it.
Looking ahead, upcoming integrations from Motion Impossible will introduce repeatable moves and automation, simplifying workflows even further. This means more time for creativity, fewer technical hiccups and greater control in high-pressure environments.
Whether you’re an existing Agito user looking to enhance your setup with the precision of Antares, or a broadcast professional seeking the ultimate cinematic solution for dynamic, high-pressure productions, get in touch with Motion Impossible at info@motion-impossible.com to discover how this exclusive offering can elevate your next project.
