TRACK WITH FREEDOM
AGITO MagTrax enables productions to follow a guaranteed path precisely every time using a magnetic strip that is discreetly laid or embedded and hidden in your set. The magnetic strip can be positioned and repositioned quickly and easily between takes.
AGITO MagTrax includes built-in front and rear safety bumpers for sensitive collision detection and automatic e-stop. All bumper edges are receptive to light touch, providing additional security when working in confined environments or remote operation.
Each bumper has an embedded status light bar programmed to display all or some LEDs in diverse colours according to the current situation and state. Setup mode with strength & marker detection, Studio operation mode with pulsing orange while moving and Driving mode with white & red.
A magnetic strip can be installed under a carpet or embedded within a set for concealed operation while not sacrificing the guaranteed trajectory of AGITO. The sensor bar detects the magnetic strip under most non-metallic surfaces keeping the track completely invisible.
Magnetic markers are used to define safety end-stops instructing the AGITO to stop at the end of the path automatically. The braking behaviour can be pre-determined ahead of time, removing the worry of braking near the end of the strip.
AGITO MagTrax can break away and re-join (BAR) current and other magnetic strips within the environment by switching between MagTrax and free-roaming mode. BAR allows multiple paths to be defined, providing maximum flexibility and creativity.
SMOOTH & PRECISE MOVEMENT
Enjoy fluid, accurate dolly shots thanks to industrial-grade motors and a high-quality driveline that delivers flawless starts and stops every time.
TRACK JUNCTIONS
Easily build a network of track layout and navigate it with ease, smoothly swiching between left, right and center track lanes.
EASY ASSEMBLY & TRANSPORT
AGITO’s lightweight, modular design makes assembly, disassembly, and transport hassle-free, packing neatly into 32kg cases for on-the-go productions.
MagTrax enhances the existing Sports drive-ends enabling customers to follow a magnetic strip laid on a surface, underneath a carpet or embedded within a set. The magnetic strip can be arranged in various creative ways beyond what you can do with a regular track.
AGITO MagTrax enables a combination of curves and can move seamlessly from one strip to another. The AGITO will autonomously follow each path while freeing up camera movement control for single operator capability.

Bend it like MagTrax
Arc shots are notoriously tricky – traditional circular tracks take time to set up, limit flexibility and can get in way of the scene. Here, AGITO MagTrax can be seen solving this problem, replacing bulky rigs with discreet magnetic tape that guides smooth, circular motion. Whether placed on the surface or hidden beneath, it delivers precise, effortless arcs to keep the focus on the action, not the setup.
Finding the Groove
On the set of Jools Holland, AGITO MagTrax moves quietly and effortlessly across the stage, guided by magnetic tape hidden beneath wooden floorboards. With the ability to detect tape through up to 12cm of material, MagTrax delivered smooth, precise tracking shots while keeping the stage free of visible tracks – perfect for the show’s iconic live performances.
Hidden Precision
At the 2024 BRIT Awards, AGITO MagTrax runs discreetly on top of the carpet, guided by magnetic tape hidden below. Filming the secondary stage with clear views of the main stage, it captured smooth tracking shots as celebrities walked between them. By ditching traditional tracks, MagTrax avoided any risk of tripping hazards, making it the safest and most creative choice for the star-studded event.
Speed of Sound
For Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres concert in Buenos Aires, three AGITO systems – Sports, Trax and MagTrax – captured the energy of the show. MagTrax took centre stage, tracking Chris Martin and the band’s movements. By following a magnetic path instead of traditional tracks, it gave the artists total freedom to perform without tripping risks – something conventional dollys wouldn’t be able to promise.
UK’s Next Top Model?
In a unique twist, AGITO doesn’t just stay behind the scenes for the H&M commercial – it features in the ad itself. Paired with a MöVi XL, it delivered precise, choreographed tracking shots on MagTrax and, with a press of a button, shifted into free-roaming mode to capture the more spontaneous, dynamic movements. This adaptability gave the crew the perfect mix of control and creative freedom.
Ruling the Stage
As Breda turns orange for Kings Day, a city-wide celebration to honour King Willem-Alexander’s birthday, AGITO keeps pace with the action, capturing every moment in perfect sync. Gliding along magnetic tape hidden beneath the stage floor, it delivers smooth, dynamic shots while keeping the space clear for performers – essential for the Netherland’s biggest party, where movement and music never stop.
Strutting the Runway
At Burberry’s 2022 London Fashion Week show, AGITO didn’t just look at home on the runway – it captured it with dynamic precision. Guided by magnetic tape, AGITO MagTrax moved in perfect sync with the flow of the performance, weaving between models as they walked in a circular motion around a giant lit ball. Elevating the show both on-screen and off, it was the perfect fusion of high-end tech and high-end fashion.
Quiz in Motion
On The Floor, knowledge is power – but so is movement. Blending the free-roaming flexibility of AGITO Sports with the precision of MagTrax, AGITO navigates across the LED stage, weaving between contestants before pulling back the big-picture action. This setup is so integral to the pace of the show that it’s become a hallmark for the production format as it rolls out in regions across the globe.
