The Versa-Table is a proprietary motion platform designed and fabricated by Scott Buckler and Riggin Design Inc. At its core is a heavy-duty pivot assembly that can be configured in either horizontal or vertical orientation, allowing the system to be adapted to a wide range of creative and technical requirements.

​

Motion is driven by a high-torque, low-noise servo motor controlled via software, enabling precise adjustment of speed, acceleration, and repeatable movement profiles. This allows the Versa-Table to execute controlled, synchronized motion while remaining suitable for sound-sensitive production environments.

Because each application presents different creative and mechanical considerations, systems are typically configured and tested at the Riggin Design studio prior to production. Setups are assembled based on creative discussions with the client, and test footage can be generated and shared to help visualize the expected results before committing to a final configuration.

​

The Versa-Table can be synchronized with additional motion control systems to create coordinated, multi-axis movement. A motion-control slider may be programmed for corresponding in-and-out movement relative to the rotation of a product or subject. Overhead lighting can also be independently rotated through a full 360-degree arc, allowing key and backlighting to remain consistent as the subject rotates, without the physical constraints that would result from mounting lighting directly to the platform.

​

The system is intended as a flexible, modular tool rather than a fixed configuration. A consultation with Scott Buckler allows creative and technical requirements to be evaluated and translated into a motion solution appropriate to the specific project.
