Cilin X– Compact Motion Control Robot

The Cilin X is a compact robotic arm that can be used for motion control. It is billed as having the precision of an industrial robotic arm, with the ease of a gimbal, and the creative freedom of handheld shooting, all in one compact system.

Cilin X is claimed to use AI-powered tracking and auto-framing to lock onto subjects, and it is said to accurately recognize gesture commands and intelligently adjust the frame composition.

According to the company, no software or coding is required. Users can hand-drag Cilin X to create an intuitive, precise way to shape shots, streamline workflows, and customize camera movements.

The Cilin X is claimed to have no learning curve, and you can use the Al-1 (All-In-One) Remote Controller to preview shots, create custom motion paths, and save them for quick reuse.

Cilin X utilizes a Zero-Gravity Direct-Drive System, which is claimed to achieve a 1:1weight-to-payload ratio. It weighs 11 lbs / 5kg, and it can carry payloads of up to 11 lbs / 5kg. The company states that it is lightweight and stable, and easy to transport. Its foldable design means it fits into a carry-on case.

Cilin X can handle anything from smartphones to mirrorless hybrids and small sized digital cinema cameras. It gives you the ability to switch between setups quickly to adapt to different shooting.
