Rod Winch / Combo Winch
The rod winch is a fundamentally different device. At its base is a carbon retractable multi-section rod of square cross-section with the actuator head which allows precise positioning of the microphone. The basic winch set-up allows user to bring the rod up to 15 meters.The kinematic system is based on the single-row multi-channel cable coil.

The rod head is attached to a special platform with a lock. This allows easy installation and removal of the rod heads using a special instrument.
Combo Winch contains two independent mechanisms at the same time: a rod with a robotized head and a cable release. Microphone outputs are independent. The winch can be made in a stereo version.
For precise microphone positioning control, the holder can be equipped with an integrated video camera, allowing remote monitoring of the microphone's direction on a display. The camera features a highly sensitive sensor, enabling operation in low-light stage conditions. The drive unit housing includes a BNC connector for composite video output. Upon request, an IP encoding block or a TV channel modulator can be supplied.
Applications: recording (film, TV programs), broadcasting, live streaming, sports coverage.
It can be used in conjunction with a winch, connecting to its processor.

The microphone is mounted on a standard holder, with the option to use a "spider" shock mount. The mount can rotate around the vertical axis and tilt the capsule axis within the lower hemisphere with high precision. The set position is secured by a brake.
The stereo mount allows for the use of two microphones and enables adjustment of their mutual angle.
The chassis of the servo drives is made of aluminum alloy, with all degrees of freedom achieved using quiet drives mounted on suspensions with industrial-grade bearings. The body is constructed from carbon fiber. Inside, a processor module controls the servo drives
Robotic Microphone Mount
Based on rod and combo winches, television winches have been developed specifically for use in TV studios. These winches are ideal for small spaces with low ceilings, where directional microphones are used to work with a large number of people.
These winches are equipped with a rod up to 2 meters in length and feature a rotating mechanism integrated into the winch, allowing the rod to pivot around its axis.
Television Winch
Conference Winch
The conference winch can be mounted to the suspended ceilings and has a release up to 4 meters, as well as simplified control with buttons. Manufactured with a preinstalled microphone of the requested model.
Specialised Winch
The photo shows a specialized cable winch designed for a digital video display.
It features two mechanically synchronized drums and a combined cable output consisting of: 3x UTP Cat 6, Power 3x4mm.
The double-coil technology can also be adapted for custom cable lift systems (typically not for microphone cables). It is capable of handling multiple types of cables simultaneously, such as digital cables (twisted pair/SDI) and power cables.
