Black Forest Motion
Black Forest Motion was founded in 2018 after a successful Kickstarter Crowdfunding Campaign for our PINE Motion Controller. We thank all our backers who made this possible for us.
We develop flexible and modular motion control products ranging from motorized sliders to pan and tilt heads to camera lens controls. We are located in the heart of the Black Forest in Southern Germany – hence the name “Black Forest Motion”.
Quality made in Germany
All our products are developed and manufactured right here at our headquarters in the Black Forest.
Our Team
Our founding members Patrick and Moritz have been working together on motion control systems since 2013. Their combined background in engineering and photography are the roots of our company.
