Background

Demand for repeatable camera moves is rising in film, advertising, livestreaming, and e-commerce. Sets also need people and robots to work nearby. Film-grade motion control remains costly, keeping professional moves out of reach for smaller teams.

Industry Pain Points

Cost, Shake, and Unrepeatable Shots

Film-grade motion systems are too expensive for small and midsize teams.
Handheld or dolly shots can shake and are hard to reproduce.
VFX and multi-take workflows need frame-by-frame consistent motion paths.

Why UFACTORY Cobots

Lower Cost 01

Lower Cost

As camera motion hardware, the cobot delivers automated moves at lower total cost than film-grade motion control systems, making professional shots more accessible.

Clean, Compact Design 02

Clean, Compact Design

The UFACTORY 850 carbon-fiber body is clean, recognizable, and compact, making it easy to move between sets, angles, and commercial shooting locations.

Collaborative Set Use 03

Collaborative Set Use

Collision detection supports close-range work with crew, actors, or hosts, reducing the need for large fencing or full set isolation during flexible shoots.

Plug-and-Play Setup 04

Plug-and-Play Setup

The tool flange mounts cameras, gimbals, and other shooting equipment directly, while the control box I/O connects to shutters, turntables, lights, and sliders, cutting setup time across multiple devices.

Open Development 05

Open Development

ROS/ROS2 packages and Python/C++ SDKs let developers connect shooting software, motion logic, and synchronization for custom imaging automation.

Path Repeatability 06

Path Repeatability

With ±0.02 mm repeatability, the UFACTORY 850 reproduces preset camera paths, reducing shake and keeping each move clean, controlled, and professional.
