Manta Ray is a new JoyMechanix product that is one of the primary dignified rays. The genus Manta is famous for its smoothness and calmness, and also for the ability to relocate quickly and overcome long distances. The JoyMechanix crew has found the secret of success. Manta Rays actually enjoy the movement! Manta Ray combine the following features in order to make this invention № 1 on the market:

• Smoothness, calmness, quickness of movement
• Mobility — Manta Ray is easy to take and travel worldwide
• Enjoyment of movement

We designed a special torque circulation mechanism, which allows us to save these 80% of power, moving to 3D with power consumption of 1D systems. The energy is transferred from the unwinding winch to the winding winch. This allows us to reduce the amount of spent energy and meet a wide functional range in the ultra-light system.

JM 1.3 is the first product of JoyMechanix Company. JM1.3 is the 3D camera motion system on cords; here, winches can be fixed near the ceiling. This kind of arrangement saves space occupied by the system, leaving the winches almost invisible. This system is designed for studio TV production, medium-size sport arenas and event halls.

JM 1.3 is the best way to reopen all capabilities of your studio space. Its Flight Area is 72 m x 72 m, and it can reach the speed of 4 m/sec. This system offers high accuracy control, safety zones and programmable paths and extremely smooth movement.

Studio cord systems JM 1.3 are integrated
with several Embedded Reality systems.

For connection, the standard protocol is used,
which allows us to connect our equipment
to most of the systems of Embedded
Reality without additional modifications.

JM 2.3 is the best choice for large arenas, being able to handle the filming
of concerts and sport competitions. It can be operated both indoors and outdoors and produces great close-ups, capturing every detail, as well as a bird’s eye view of any action on the field.

JM 2.3 is the latest designed product of JoyMechanix 3D camera motion winch systems line. It has all the advantages of the first series of JM 1.3, such as: easy in operation and filming, smaller winches than are expected for this type of systems. 

Ideal for rental companies 

3D camera motion systems are specially designed for rental companies.

• excellent for any size area with «box–type» cameras (from concert hall to football stadium)
• easy in operation and filming
• user-friendly interface
• fast installation by 3 people
• extended temperature range (–20/+50 degree Celsius)
• the system is suitable for use in an open area.

It’s the largest JoyMechanix 3D camera motion system on cords. Maximum operating diagonal is 400 m, what makes JM 3.3 suitable for use within any stadiums and open spaces.

• fast and convenient mounting
• peak speed reaches 15 m/sec
• suitable even for cinema cameras
• complete weatherproof

JoyMechanix systems work with different heads. Customers can attach their own stabilized platform or use ours. H1.0 is gyro-stabilized head with the following functions: Zoom, Focus and Pan-Tilt-Roll control. It can be equipped with a microphone and moderate light (Tally). Power and full set of signals to and from the H1.0 are provided through the hybrid cable (actuated by the special winch). Also H1.0 is very compact in size: h x w x l: 55 сm x 52 cm x 36 cm and weight of just 12 kg (camera and lenses - up to 8 kilos).

To operate JoyMechanix systems we made special control stations, they
are included in composition of the system. Customer can choose how many cameramen (1-2) would operate the control station.

Systems that comply with Control Station:
• for 1 operator — JM 1.3, JM 2.3, JM 4.1, MR
• for 2 operators — JM 1.3, JM 2.3, JM 3.3, JM 4.1, MR
The choice depends on characteristics of the system and what type of control is more suitable to the customer.

It is controlled by just one cameraman. The station consists of 2 joysticks and 1 monitor, which is responsible for the view from the camera and characteristics of the system. There are three types of control of the JoyMechanix system by CS1:

• Coordinates (XY)Z — computer; pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus-operator
• Coordinates (XY)Z — operator; pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus-computer
• Pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus- computer; Paths-operator

It is controlled by two cameramen. The station consists of 4 joysticks and
2 monitors (the first one takes care of the camera view, the second one is
responsible for characteristics of the system). There are two types of control of the JoyMechanix system by CS2:

• Coordinates (XY)Z — pilot; pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus-operator
• If there is another head: pan, tilt, roll, zoom, focus native control station could be used
