From concept to detailed design and analysis, 20/20 Engineering was responsible for:

  • Offset Isolation System that includes a Hybrid Isolator in combination with a 3-axis Constraining Mechanism which increases payload flexibility allowing for larger lenses and cameras, including 3D filming payloads
  • Weight Compensator that enables superior stability during aggressive flights
  • New, ergonomic Payload Sleds that allows faster Camera and Lens changes and balancing using fewer operators, resulting in significant reduction in downtime during production
  • Lens and Camera Interchangeability, studies and design for both film and digital
  • Weight reduction and optimization though CAE
  • Structural analysis including report for DER approval
  • DFMA
  • Prototyping and testing
