It's apparent that a lot of thought was put into designing a system that takes only minutes -and a single hex key- to assemble. The Lynx motion control system at its standard 24-in (61 cm) length. The total weight of the system is under 13 lb (5.9 kg). The standard length of the slider is 24 inches (61 cm), but an optional set of carbon fiber rails, stored in their own carrying case compartment, can be added to the kit for a total extended length of 48 inches (122 cm).
You can even carry the slider preassembled in its own case to save time when working in the field. Its main components (slider, motors and motion controller) have their own soft cases for easy portability. The Cinetics Lynx is a light, portable and compact (yet sturdy) system that lets you program precise three-axis moves for video, stop motion, and time-lapse sequences. I have used several of them since 2008, so I was quite happy to preview this brand new system introduced by Cinetics. These programmable systems move your camera with high precision as you shoot your scene. One way of giving time-lapse sequences a more cinematic look is by using a motion control system. My stills and sequences of observatories in Chile, the U.S., and the South Pole have also been featured in many science documentaries. Since 2008 I have been shooting time-lapse sequences of the night sky and incorporating them into many of these films. My main way of doing this is through a series of Science & Symphony films that get presented with orchestras in concerts around the world.
As an astronomer and visual artist, I use the arts to communicate science.
