It's a great episode chock full of industry history and insight. Grab your headphones and join us! https://lnkd.in/e9AJXu7N

Here's a little sneak peek at our in-process design of the new Spikemark Console! What's better than 1 GO button? How about 4? We're adding multi-playback support to Spikemark, so we need updated hardware with multiple GO buttons. The orange knobs? Those are smart knobs with touch displays. The ring adjusts the playback speed (so you can adjust overall cue speed on the fly) and displays the current status. There's a pre-configured PC built-in so you don't have to mess around with a separate computer. Dual HDMI ports for multi-monitor rigs, and of course built-in jogging joystick and e-stop. Is this the final version? Heavens no, but it's getting close... It's going to be a fun summer!

Another small pack of Smart Chain Hoists are getting prepared for a life on tour this summer. We’ll see ‘em back here in the fall once they are done playing stadiums and arenas. When checking out some of the hottest concerts this summer, look up and say “hi!” 😂 #makeitmovecci #scenicautomation #madeinrhodeisland #californiabound

This weekend we helped set up the automation and train the students at St. Mary Academy - Bay View to run their show!! Multiple axes, dynamic spikes, cue links, multi-node showstopper... it's the real deal and the kids soaked it up. Bravo to the students and educators that bring these performances to life. Glad we could expose them to some new tech and play a small supporting role by donating some time and equipment. #makeitmovecci #scenicautomation #madeinrhodeisland #givingback

We wanted to help out a local school looking to punch up their production. So we made 6 machines and donated them for the run of their play. 2 turtles, a hoist, and a small rotator to spin a dimensional tree. Fun for us and thrilling for the students to get a chance to do some automation! #makeitmovecci #scenicautomation #givingback #madeinrhodeisland

Woohoo!! We are in Seattle for #usitt24 and can't wait to see ya! Come by booth 715, say 'hi', grab some swag, and check out all the new new. Spotline Mini v2 is here. All our permanent wiring devices are on display, poke a Gearmotor, and of course see all the hot new features of Spikemark 5. Wanna get some hands on time? We've got real machines running in the Automation Lab. Write some cues, spin a Rotator, run a deck track. Bask in the glory of elegantly simple scenic automation. #makeitmovecci #scenicautomation #usitt #seattlebound #somethingnew

Need a more gentle estop for your fast moves with heavy loads? Yeah, we think so too. We're working on cat-1 fault stops for Stagehand Pro to solve that problem. Coming soon... #somethingnew #scenicautomation #alwaysimproving #makeitmovecci

What's better than the new Spotline v2? Spotline v2 with a Zero Fleet Sled! This new accessory for Spotline converts your 750 lb capacity, 100' lift hoist into a zero-fleet beast. The Zero Fleet Sled uses a chain-driven leadscrew nut to shift the hoist back and forth as the hauling line travels up and down. The lateral motion of the hoist eliminates fleet angle to your first diverters and keeps the hauling line... uh... in line :) Since it's an add-on, you can grab one whenever you want and use it whenever it's needed. Installation is quick & simple to convert your Spotline from conventional, to zero-fleet, and back again!

It's like a Spotline, but smaller! With 250 lb capacity, 127' lift, a top speed of 36"/sec, and gobs of safety features, this fantastic hoist will raise the production value of your next show. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eCM-2Xq6
