ABOUT MTS TELESCOPES
MTS studio telescopes enable individual control of each luminaire, offering exceptional flexibility for stage and studio lighting. In fully automated studios, they ensure rapid format changes with minimal downtime. Available in manual and motorized versions, they feature a self-locking gearbox for safe and smooth vertical adjustment.
Constructed from high-strength aluminum, our telescopes are designed for stability and precision. Advanced toothed tube guides ensure minimal radial play, enhancing stability.
For seamless operation, power and data supply is managed via custom-developed hybrid spiral cables, preventing wear and cable breakage. Safety is a priority—each unit includes:
- Rope break and overload detection
- Integrated operational and emergency limit switches
MTS telescopes are engineered for low-maintenance operation, with tool-free access to key components. Emergency operation is supported via hand crank or drill adapter, ensuring continued functionality even in case of drive failure.
With a modular design, our telescopes can be customized to meet specific customer needs. Power can be supplied via trailing cables or current- and data-carrying support rails.
At MTS, we prioritize quality and safety. Every product is built with premium components and complies with EN 17206 and DGUV V17 (BGV C1) standards.
