Lensmaster 1.0 Review: What the New Update Means for Our Clients
If you’ve worked with us before, you know motion control is at the heart of what we do. It’s how we deliver precision, repeatability, and creative camera moves that elevate your product or brand story. The software that powers our cinema robot is called Lensmaster, developed by Camerabotics — and the brand-new Lensmaster 1.0 update has just been released.
We’ve been given early access to test it, and we’re excited about what it means for our clients.
A Smarter, Sleeker Workflow
The first thing you’ll notice is the refreshed dark-mode interface. It may sound cosmetic, but a cleaner, easier-to-navigate system means our team works faster and with fewer errors. Less time fiddling with settings = more time perfecting your shots.
Faster Programming, Greater Flexibility
Lensmaster 1.0 introduces smarter timeline tools — including the ability to build moves in reverse and quickly relink or unlink keyframes. In practice, that means we can experiment with creative options more quickly without starting from scratch. For you, that translates into faster turnaround times and more flexibility in capturing the perfect visual.
Precision You Can See
The upgraded scene editor now shows exact movement distances with built-in ruler grids. This gives us tighter control over camera movement, ensuring every frame is repeatable down to the millimeter. For product and commercial shoots, that’s critical: whether we’re filming a luxury beauty product or a high-end tech gadget, your visuals will always look consistent and polished.
Seamless Integration with Virtual Production
One of the biggest leaps forward is improved Unreal Engine integration. This means we can now synchronize real camera moves with digital environments more accurately than ever. For brands, that opens the door to cutting-edge virtual production — blending live action and CGI in ways that were previously complex or costly.
Perfectly Synced Shots
With support for genlock and timecode, Lensmaster 1.0 allows us to achieve frame-perfect synchronization between cameras, robots, and other devices. For multi-camera campaigns, high-speed shoots, or content requiring total precision, this ensures your final film looks seamless and professional.
Why This Matters for You
Every software update makes our work behind the camera more efficient — but Lensmaster 1.0 is different. It’s not just a new interface or minor tweaks; it’s a leap forward in how we design, program, and deliver motion control shots.
For our clients, that means:
Faster shoot days and quicker delivery times
Even more precise, repeatable results
Expanded creative possibilities, including virtual production
Confidence that your project is powered by the latest industry tech
Final Thoughts
We’re proud to stay ahead of the curve in visual engineering, and Lensmaster 1.0 gives us another tool to create stunning, innovative visuals for our clients. If you’d like to see how this technology can take your next campaign further, get in touch — we’d love to show you what’s possible.
