The MotoCrane TITAN LT has all of the power of TITAN in a more compact, lightweight form factor.
Since the Ronin 2 in 2017, there have been no real innovations made to help camera movement specialists push stabilized cinema into more demanding and aggressive applications. TITAN LT is aimed at addressing the critical weaknesses and missing aspects of the Ronin 2, and creating a simple migration path for current Ronin 2 users regularly using it as a stabilized remote head.
Around half the size of its big brother TITAN, the LT only weighs 18lbs but retains a 40lbs payload capacity. The LT also features a 20% larger build volume than the Ronin 2 for easier and safer mounting of larger payloads.
It is machined from 6061 Aluminum, and it uses massive bearings, axles, and hardware.
“When we launched TITAN in 2024, we had hundreds of requests from Ronin 2 users demanding a smaller version that would better fit their workflow and typical camera packages. We’re proud to offer a system that boasts all of the same exciting power, strength and features of big TITAN in a compact form factor. We’ve partnered with many Ronin 2 users to ensure we’ve designed it right, and it’s been amazing to see them light up when experiencing it for the first time.”
MotoCrane CEO Zachary Nelson
At just 18lbs, the LT is perfect for all remote head supports like MotoCrane arms, Black arms, Cable cams, Technocranes, Dollies/jibs, RC cars, and even Handheld. The LT features a brand new motor design that produces massive torque (3.5x peak torque) for great responsiveness, whip pan performance, and an unheard of 130mph rated speed. For noise-sensitive environments, operators can put LT in STUDIO mode for optimized acoustic,s ensuring smooth and quiet operation during sync recording. And for especially difficult terrain, DYNAMIC mode offers increased stabilization gains for the highest stabilization accuracy possible.
The LT is also IP65 rated with sealed internals and connectors, so the entire system can be operated in continuous rainfall, mud, dirt, snow, etc.
The TITAN Controller is the crown jewel of the LT experience. Machined from durable 6061 aluminum, it is built for battle. The intuitive touchscreen user interface is packed with features for operating exactly how you want. Operators can position the joystick(s) and/or focus wheel on the right or left-hand side of the TITAN Controller as they see fit, and even install two single-axis joysticks for discrete control of Pan, Tilt, etc. Choose between the freedom of wireless operating or the reliability of hardwired control in busy RF environments. LT also offers the same complete integration of power, video and lens control as TITAN.
SDI video, Focus, Iris, Zoom, 12V power, and finally, 24V power natively available for your payloads and accessories. MotoCrane Lens Control motors can be added, or users can choose from the growing list of compatible 3rd party motors like Heden, Preston, Arri, and more. Wheels operators can choose from their preferred configuration of the TITAN Wheels or bring their own NODO Inertia Wheels.
Instead of introducing a whole new ecosystem of proprietary mounting parts, LT accommodates the exact same camera mounting baseplate as the Ronin 2- so there’s no learning curve. Workflow niceties like payload mounting & balancing procedures, axis locks and balance adjustment knobs are also shared between the platforms. And with the modular power expansions, you can even power LT with the TB50 batteries from DJI when the offboard TITAN Battery presents limitations.
