Snoppa Rover Electric Stabilization Cinema Dolly
Electric Stabilization | Preprogrammed Movement | Precise Speed Control | Smart Object Tracking | Camera Control
Snoppa Rover is a revolutionary cinema dolly that has an all-terrain advanced electronic stabilization system. It can drive and shoot stably and smoothly on various uneven roads. Rover can be driven manually or move automatically along a preset path. With a load capacity of up to 15 kg (33 lbs), a series of control interfaces, and an image transmission module, Snoppa Rover can load and control most of the popular cameras including mirrorless, DSLRs, cinema cameras, etc., allowing you to remotely control both the dolly’s movement and camera shooting, and live preview your shots through your phone or tablet.
Rover integrates three wheels each with independent power control and steering system via three electric stabilizer arms. This uniquely isolates the body from wheel vibration and enables flexible motion control Rover has built-in gyroscopes and acceleration sensors in each of its three stabilizer arms. These sensors detect the vibration of each wheel and the attitude of the whole vehicle at a frequency of 16Khz at all times. The detection frequency allows the high-torque motors to respond to disturbances within 0.06m/s. The motors output control feedback from a synchronous variable speed system, and with the added inherent elasticity of its springs Rover can maintain smoothness even when passing over uneven surfaces or obstacles.
Thanks to the angle sensor (Hall sensor) at the joint between the stabilizer arm and the wheels of the Rover, the electric steering mechanism can be rotated 360. This provides flexible turning performance and allows for unconventional maneuvers such as zero-radius turns in place and hill-climbing with ease.All three wheels of Rover are equipped with individual power drives. The built-in gyroscope detects wheel speed in real-time, and the intelligent algorithm can distribute the power of each wheel individually. This results in smoother motion and more precise control of the Rover. Constant speed ramping greatly reduces wheel slippage or track deviation due to inconsistent wheel speed.
Unlike vehicles with front-wheel steering - Rover's flexible turning performance makes it capable of keeping Rover’s front end's direction unchanged under any path of movement. The direction of the cart is independent of the trajectory of movement. Shooting direction is not bound by the direction of movement. If the camera’s direction of movement needs to be altered in the process of shooting, you do not need to consider turning radius to do a U-turn as Rover can be panned.
When shooting in an indoor studio, perhaps you prefer to operate at close range - giving you more intuitive control over your shots. This is a Holder designed specifically for Rover that senses your hand's pressure output for real-time response, such as movement and rotation. This ensures that you enjoy stress-free and highly precise control even when operating manually.
Rover provides a stable shooting platform that allows us to better move the camera and design the path of the lens in the shot. So how do you adjust the direction of the camera such as tilt during the shooting process? One way is to install a video tripod head on the Rover, so you can adjust the camera angle in real time and move the Rover manually and precisely by the handle. Another way to achieve camera angle control is by installing a stabilizer. We will launch a gimbal that can be used with the Rover in August. This gimbal can be programmed and controlled in conjunction with the Rover. Or you can provide and use your own stabilizer.
Rover's software integrates Rover's controls, camera controls, and image previews into the same App, making it a fully functional wireless workbench. the Rover APP is available in both tablet and phone versions. The advantage of the tablet version is that it consolidates all the required actions on the same page, so you can perform your operations quickly without having to switch between different menus.
When the need to track a person or a moving object arises during a shoot - Snoppa Rover's " Smart Object Tracking " will become the best member of your crew. For example, if you want to do a self-tracking shot, you don't need another crew member present to operate. You can leave it to Rover to perform the tracking while saving manpower. Smart tracking is much more convenient and accurate while capturing footage as opposed to manual control tracking shooting.
Rover's unique electronic structure and design for each wheel give it adaptive steering control and dynamic power control. This provides the camera crew with maximum flexibility for camera movement.In Pre-programmed Mode, you can set up simple A to B point movement paths, as well as more complex movement paths, and save paths as templates. Suitable for applications that require repetitive shooting, etc.
