Berlin, Germany—September 2024

RP1 Premiere

On display at KST Moschkau and Zero Density’s booth is the new RP1 Free Roaming Robotic Pedestal, built to meet the needs of fast-paced settings such as news studios.

RP1 Technical Features

With its robust payload capacity of 60kg and multi-directional wheels, RP1 can glide through studios at up to 250mm/s while carrying a diverse range of equipment.

RP1 Technical Features

Its features include a 7” touchscreen display, digital lens control for both Fujinon and Canon systems, and an integrated 48V power supply for cameras, prompters, and converters. A modular and innovative design allows for smooth operation with tool-free wheel cleaning and efficient cable management.

Mantis – a combination of the RP1 pedestal and robotic arm

Also on display is Mantis, a combination of the Pedestal RP1 and a robotic arm. Developed by KST Moschkau, Mantis showcases RP1’s ease of use and compatibility.

ARRO2 Robotic Arm

Additionally, Blackcam is introducing the latest version of its robotic arm, ARRO2: a lightweight, modular, and whisper-quiet solution designed to deliver versatility in broadcast environments. Weighing only 80kg, ARRO2 is capable of maneuvering through a 3.6-meter diameter 3D space and can rotate 360° with near-silent precision, allowing mounted cameras to capture dynamic shots during sports, newscasts, and more.

ARRO2’s modular design facilitates easy set-up in under 30 minutes and compatibility with many broadcast cameras and lens systems. It has a payload capacity of 17kg at 1.8 m length and scales accordingly with adjustments, capable of reaching up to 2.2 m in length. Featuring dual operation in manual and automatic modes, it offers the ability to pre-program movements or control them in real-time. ARRO2 can be seen in action at the German Pavilion booth.
