Motorized Precision EVO Robot Arm
If we had to choose the most exciting accessory product of NAB 2025, it would be the EVO by Motorized Precision. The company is known for its high-end End advanced, large robotic camera systems like the Colossus and Kira, but those are extremely expensive systems that only very few studios can afford.
The EVO is Motorized Precision’s first attempt to enter the much more affordable part of the market, which started to develop in recent years. The EVO has a payload of 11 lbs (5 kg), is only 20 kg in weight, and is highly portable uses 110V/220V power and can be controlled via software, gamepad, or by physically moving the head with your hands (a very unique feature). The EVo can be mounted on a tripod or using a Mitchell mount on any relevant surface.
The price of the Motorized Precision EVO Robot Arm is just under $10K (however, there is a cost for the software, which is sold separately based on the user’s needs).
