Akira Rig

Akira Rig is a very compact rig for your stop motion armature, easy to use in small sets. By being small it can be well hidden behind your character making it easy to eliminate in post-production. The design reduces the torque that the rig will need to support positions so more poses can be achieved and joints will suffer less. Although it’s compact, the joints are strong and able to cope with the weight of the character attached to.

Akira Rig’s connections have been soldered in so no need for glue. It can be used straight out of the box!

Akira Rig has been designed to be fully compatible with our stop motion armatures, however they are compatible with many other armatures as it comes with 2 different connection arms. You can choose from 2 different sizes:

• Akira Rig S1 (40mm x 40mm x 40mm x 75mm)
• Akira Rig S2 (40mm x 75mm x 75mm x 75mm)

Please note that this is not a toy and adult supervision is required.
