For decades, motion control was trapped between two extremes. On one side, oversized broadcast rigs that demanded trucks, specialized crew, and budgets that ate half a shooting day before the first rehearsal. On the other hand, fragile consumer gear that could not survive a real cinema package or the pressure of repeating a move reliably [...]

It sounds almost too good to be true. A professional motorized slider with four motion axes, Dragonframe compatibility, PC optional control, 5kg payload capacity, V-Mount power, and a solid 80cm travel: all for 1,430€. No catch. No subscription. Just hardware designed for real production environments. You don't need the Dragonframe Control? Great. From 1,430€ you [...]

Drones have revolutionized the way we capture aerial footage. But not every shot belongs in the sky, or can legally be taken from there. If you're planning to film in a crowded stadium, city street, or any location where people are involved, the drone might not be your best tool. In fact, in many situations, [...]

One of the most useful and often overlooked add-ons for our cable cam systems is the Gimbal Control Connection Cable. In simple terms, this cable allows you to control DJI gimbals, including models like the RS2 Pro, RS3 Pro, and RS4 Pro, directly through Noxon’s Control System. That means: No need to worry about Bluetooth [...]

When working with aerial systems over people, safety is not optional: it’s fundamental. That’s why we’ve designed a secondary safety line system as a standard accessory for our cablecams. This isn’t because line failures are common -in fact, we’ve never had a single incident involving a dropped system- but because redundant safety measures are essential [...]

At Noxon, we understand that every installation is unique, so we want to ensure you have the essential information to carry out a safe and effective installation. The responsibility for rigging ultimately lies with each user, as conditions can vary significantly. However, we are committed to guiding you with key considerations to help you achieve [...]

The Noxon Transmission Kit is a really useful tool to extend the reach of your cinema gear. You can connect your gimbal or camera to use the native control apps from each brand. However, proper setup is required to make it work. Nothing complicated, especially with the right instructions. Please note that the following instructions [...]

At Noxon, we recognize that every filmmaker has a unique workflow. That’s why we continue to evolve, ensuring our tools seamlessly integrate into modern production environments. We talked about key points in our article with tips to choose a slider, but today we have more for you. The latest upgrade to our Mod Slider is [...]

At Noxon, we understand the importance of seamless integration between motion control systems and stop-motion software. That’s why we’ve made it possible to control our Mod Slider using the Arduino Giga R1 and Dragonframe’s DMC (Dragonframe Motion Control) connection. This guide will walk you through the setup process and provide troubleshooting tips to ensure a [...]

Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, offering a glimpse into a future where video creation could be more automated than ever before. AI is already being used in editing, camera movements, and even scene generation. In the coming years, it’s possible that a filmmaker could input incredibly detailed instructions—such as: “With an Alexa camera and a [...]

V-Lock batteries have become the go-to power solution for professionals in the audiovisual industry. Their distinctive locking mechanism allows them to securely mount to a variety of equipment, providing a stable power source for cameras, sliders, and other high-demand tools. This level of security, along with their versatility and reliable power, has made them a [...]

When considering power solutions for your Noxon High-Speed Cablecam, one of the key decisions is choosing between LiPo (Lithium Polymer) and VMount batteries. While both options allow the system to operate, they come with different performance characteristics that directly impact speed, acceleration, and overall capability. Understanding the Cablecam’s Power Requirements The High-Speed Cablecam is designed [...]

When it comes to controlling your camera during stop-motion animation, Dragonframe offers two great options: DMC-Lite and DFMoco. While both systems provide excellent control, they cater to different needs and offer distinct features. In this post, we’ll explore the key differences between the two systems, helping you understand what each offers and how they might [...]

At Noxon, we understand that using a motorized slider can present challenges, especially when you push your gear to its limits. Heavy setups or filming in demanding environments can sometimes lead to vibrations or jitters. Maybe a good way to avoid problems is to understand how to choose a slider. However, even with a cheaper [...]

Hello again! Months ago, after we include our VMount Compatibility for Motorized Slider, a girl sent us a message. She’s Ani. Ani asked about a lot of things, all of them related to using the Noxon Slider with Dragonframe for Stop-Motion. Ani sent us his YouTube Channel and we fell in love with her job. Short [...]

Are you thinking about using a Cablecam? Are you scared? Poor guy. Well, we are not just bullies and our intention here is helping you to start working with this nice equipment. Nice? Yes, especially if you are looking to create aerial shots in places with people where Drones are not allowed. So, the first [...]

Right now, in terms of safety, Cablecams have better reception than Drones when you have to fly over the crowd or use your nice setup in the middle of a complex forest. But the challenges are still there. I mean, you don't want to smash heads or destroy your equipment against a tree. It would be funny, [...]

We know that our product can improve. We would have to be blind or stupid to not notice it. That happens when you don't want to make the price ridiculously high. For example, we know that one of the complicated points is the Batteries. Many prefer V-Lock instead of Lipo, because they are used to [...]

As you're aware, we're a small but determined team. That's why we've been open to various development projects up to now, embracing the challenges they bring—both the enjoyable and, mostly, the painful ones. Above all, the pain. And the learning. But let's be honest, the pain ranks first. Then, one day, Thomson-Reuters reached out to [...]

A slider is a tool that every filmmaker should have in their studio to obtain quality shots. Since it allows us to create fluid camera movements and the possibility of creating videos using different techniques, such as Stop Motion and Timelapse. Now, when choosing a slider, there are several aspects to consider to make the [...]

With the arrival of drones, taking aerial shots has become increasingly easy and accessible. However, it is not always possible to legally use this tool in specific environments. A very interesting alternative is to mount a lightweight drone on a cablecam, therefore incorporating wireless emission + stabilization and control of camera movements in a very [...]
