After almost a decade working in the film and video industry, Hank Zoid fuses this experience with a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering to provide a unique photographic perspective. By using camera arrays and custom made software, Hank Zoid provides a unique, modular and portable solution to 3D photography and bullet-time technology.
Each rig features 8 cameras each shooting 6K (6000 x 4000 px) RAW images, an onboard computer to control camera settings and image processing, wireless triggering with up to 100 metres range, supports high-speed sync flash photography, powers from a single battery and sets up in less than 15 minutes - making it the only rig of its kind in the world.

ABOUT
Precise
The cameras are wired to trigger at the exact same time, to within one 10,000th of a second of eachother.
Utilising a wireless triggering system with up to 100 metres range, the cameras sync perfectly with other rigs and off-camera flashes. Supporting high-speed sync (HSS) and shutter speeds of up to 1/4000 to freeze even the most dynamic scenes.
Intelligent
Running bespoke software, an onboard computer controls everything from camera settings and file management to previewing and creating videos and sharing them.
Proficient in Python and JavaScript, customised code can be tailored to meet the needs of any project.
Modular
Each rig has 8 cameras and can extend up to 2 metres wide. The onboard controller allows multiple rigs to work together, communicating with each other over a local network to keep their camera settings synced.
Currently available in 8 or 16 camera configurations.
Portable
Traditional bullet-time rigs take hours and multiple people to set-up and cannot be moved. Each rig weighs 10.1 kg (22.3 lb) and splits into two parts to comfortably fit into a 1650* Peli case for easy transportation and can be set up in under 15 minutes.
*Exterior 31.59 x 20.47 x 12.45 in (80.2 x 52 x 31.6 cm)
Battery Powered
The controller and all cameras can be powered from a single V-mount battery for up to 6 hours, with additional 12V and 8V DC ports for accessories.
