Step into the world of AGITO with a day of hands-on training designed to transform your skills and deepen your technical knowledge.
The AGITO Academy’s Standard Operator Mode training offers a deep dive into the world of advanced camera movement technology, presenting an invaluable opportunity for operators in the broadcast, film, and TV industries to master Motion Impossible’s AGITO Modular Dolly System. This hands-on training experience, scheduled for 22 January 2025, promises to enhance technical knowledge while refining operational skills, making it a must-attend event for professionals aiming to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving production landscape.
Participants can expect an intensive, full-day session dedicated to AGITO’s Standard Operator Mode, tailored for the demanding environments of live sports coverage, film shoots, and television production. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned professionals, this comprehensive course covers everything from system assembly to advanced operational techniques. It serves as an essential foundation for anyone keen to operate AGITO’s modular dolly system with confidence and precision.
The Standard Operator Mode represents AGITO’s core functionality, offering smooth, high-speed performance designed for sports broadcasts and complex cinematic tracking shots. In this mode, the system reaches speeds of up to 1400 rpm (14.7 mph / 23.6 km/h), with a reduced top speed of 800 rpm (8.4 mph / 13.5 km/h) when paired with the AGITO Tower. This dual-speed configuration ensures maximum versatility, enabling operators to tackle a wide range of filming scenarios with ease.
Attendees will gain hands-on experience with the latest AGITO Gen 2 system, featuring cutting-edge innovations such as silent steering, Ethernet connectivity, and advanced MagTrax junctions for precise path control. The session includes a detailed introduction to AGITO’s modular design, showcasing its adaptable components and seamless integration into various production environments.
The training begins with a foundational overview of AGITO’s concept and capabilities, offering a clear understanding of its role in modern filmmaking. This is followed by an in-depth guide to system assembly, including setting up RF controls, managing batteries, and calibrating the system for peak performance. Operators will also learn to navigate AGITO’s core functionalities, mastering driving, steering, and braking configurations to suit diverse production needs.
Exploring mounting options is another crucial aspect of the course. From the versatile V-Con Pro to the AGITO Tower and Column configurations, participants will discover how to customise camera setups for specific shot requirements. Real-world practice sessions allow operators to put theory into action, applying newly acquired skills under expert supervision in dynamic shooting environments.
The training delves deeper into advanced setups, covering complex configurations like Trax and MagTrax for projects requiring specialised tracking and movement precision. Operators will also be introduced to essential safety protocols, from equipment handling to situational awareness, ensuring safe and efficient operation on set.
Routine maintenance and firmware management are integral parts of the program, ensuring operators can maintain peak system performance. Understanding these technical aspects will empower participants to troubleshoot potential issues and extend the system’s operational lifespan.
An interactive Q&A session concludes the day, offering direct access to AGITO experts who can address individual queries and provide deeper insight into the system’s capabilities. This ensures a well-rounded learning experience that extends beyond the training session.
Class sizes are kept deliberately small to ensure personalised attention and one-on-one guidance. This format maximises learning opportunities, enabling each participant to gain significant hands-on experience while receiving tailored feedback from experienced trainers.
Attendees will be awarded a Certificate of Attendance, officially recognising them as AGITO Certified Pilots. This industry-recognised certification highlights foundational skills and demonstrates professional competency in operating the AGITO Modular Dolly System.
The training will take place in London, with the exact location to be confirmed. Participants will be well catered for, with food and drinks provided throughout the day, allowing for a comfortable and productive learning experience.
This one-day immersion into AGITO technology is a unique chance to master one of the industry’s most advanced camera movement systems. With an emphasis on practical application, cutting-edge technology, and expert instruction, this training promises to elevate operators’ technical capabilities, setting them apart in the competitive world of broadcast and cinematic production.
