VIDEO: Watch Guru 360 Rover in action!
Thank you to Kevin Kunze for creating this video showing off the recently announced Guru 360 Rover prototype! In the video, you can see Guru 360 Rover zooming around NAB Show 2018 with special detail to it's unique wheels that make for smooth sailing.
The Guru 360 Rover is developed for camera systems up to 20lbs/9kg. It's visible profile is unnoticeable to single lens camera and almost invisible to 360 cameras. The rover can push or pull regardless of wheel direction, move laterally left or right, rotate 360 degrees in place, and also turn in an arc. Think of the Guru 360 Rover as a robotic camera assistant that is always happy to hold the same position and ready at a moment's notice to move when commanded.

(Note: Guru 360 Rover was previously titled Guru 360 Cine but the name has been revised.)

The equipment stand of the rover is height adjustable. This allows the camera lens height to be adjusted for actor height or as the situation dictates. To help with ease of transporting the rover from location to location the equipment stand is detachable.
