Overview
Thank you for using the Milo motion control rig from Mark Roberts
Motion Control (MRMC). Milo is designed for reliable day-in, day-out
use in professional studio and Outside Broadcast environments.
Milo is typically part of a complete motion control system that includes:

The Milo turret on which the arm is mounted.

The arm itself.

A head such as an Ulti-Head, Guinness head or Slimline head,
on which you mount your video camera.

A Windows PC running Flair Motion Control Software.

An RT-14 interface box, which handles the connections
between the PC and the Milo rig.

Additional controllers such as a Hand-Held Box (HHB),
MSA-20 Handwheels or Pan Bars.
The Milo rig is designed to work with heavy weight precision track and
when using it with Long Arm or Titan Arm, it
must always be used with
outriggers preventing the rig from toppling over on fast moves.
If a Guinness or Slimline head are to be used with the rig, then the
normal Milo arm cables are provided. The head with its own pan slip
rings will fit in place of the Ulti-head bucket. The Milo arm driver box
sits inside the arm for Standard Milo and Long Arm can be fitted under
the rear section of the arm along with the junction box.
