A recent addition to my bag of tricks is a motorized turntable. This type of product is perfect for creating moving footage of products or detailed items. This works well for things like product demonstrations, award shows, and marketing videos.
In my case the Turntable is from eMotimo and it attaches to the TB3 robotic head.
- Size: 7? x 7? x 2.5?
- Weight: 2 lbs.
- Supports: 75 lbs.
- Precision: Repeatable to less than 100th of a degree.
- Product Includes: 27:1 geared stepper motor with revolve motor mounts, four bracket X pieces, and 6.5? motor cable.
Here’s a short walkthrough of the setup and operation. The unit is really easy to use and produces very cool motion shots.

Looks great guys! Thanks for sharing this setup and glad you are getting good use of out of it. Another reason why you might use timelapse mode is to capture ultra high definition footage from cameras that can’t shoot 4K video. Taking single shots and combining these in post give you a lot of latitude on what lighting you use and exposure settings. Also try out the 109 Beta firmware, we have improved the setup feel of all axis to enable some really fine adjustments for those close in macro shots.
Best regards,
