NEW – The Game Changer
FoMa Antares
Flex your creativity.
Introducing the FoMa Antares Stabilized Remote Head Series – engineered to meet the creative demands of today’s most ambitious filmmakers. Born from direct collaboration with our users, the FoMa Antares series delivers unmatched performance and advanced camera stabilization in a compact, reliable design.
FoMa Antares combines unmatched performance and exceptional value in a compact, rugged, and highly configurable design. 25% smaller than the ARRI 360 EVO, yet packing the same professional punch. With adjustable height and modular extensions, it adapts effortlessly to your setup, enabling the perfect configuration for both broadcast and cinema workflows.
Available in six distinct configurations, FoMa Antares is engineered to meet the full spectrum of professional production needs.
Hollow Axle Configuration
Performance with minimal weight, a compact footprint, and outstanding value. Featuring a generous usable inner diameter, it easily accommodates full-size broadcast and cinema camera setups.
The hollow pan axle enables optimal cable routing directly through the center of the pan axis — simplifying complex builds and avoiding external cable clutter. This design ensures uncompromised cable management for cameras and accessories, making it ideal for demanding live broadcast and cinema environments.
By maintaining a clean, unobstructed signal and power path, the system preserves full remote head functionality without limiting performance.
Slip-Ring Configuration
Designed to meet the demands of any production, this configuration offers minimal weight, a compact form factor, and exceptional value — all while ensuring smooth and stable camera stabilization. A fiber optic and SDI video slip-ring, developed especially for FoMaSystems enables the FoMa Antares to provide a stable and reliable data stream without limitation in the pan axis. With IP connectivity, distance is no longer a barrier — our systems can be controlled remotely with ease, whether over a local network or remotely. For immersive augmented reality (AR) applications, our software engine FoMa Evolve 1.0 delivers a stable, real-time metadata stream compatible with any AR platform.
Thanks to our IP Bridge, we support integration with any third-party protocol, ensuring seamless compatibility with existing workflows. A unified, intuitive graphical interface makes working between our systems fast and effortless.
