1| Introduction

CineMoco is a lightweight motion controller designed to drive and power a single stepper motor and camera.
The controller provides a compact and powerful solution to programming precise and otherwise impossible
movements for time-lapse photography and video.

2| Hardware

The CineMoco controller includes a 128x64 graphic LCD screen and 12v rechargeable Lithium polymer battery
enclosed in a durable housing weighing a total of 0.84 lb (0.38 kg). The controller can last up to 5 hours with
heavy use, and beyond 36 hours with conservative use to support long time-lapses. It takes 3 hours to fully
charge the batteries.

The controller can automate the camera shutter with the included camera cables for most Canon and Nikon
cameras. However, it does not require a camera cable to function. Many cameras support time-lapse with a
built-in intervalometer. The included cables support the following cameras (cameras not listed require
optional cables not included with the controller, but are available for purchase from www.cinetics.com):

 N3 - Canon 1D Series, 5D Series, 6D Series, 7D, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D
