What the thread found

• The Atlas arm is designed for camera packages under forty-five pounds and delivers smooth operation under load with excellent boom range
• The Atlas arm was chosen as a lighter alternative to supplement rather than replace an older Artemis arm that had proven reliable over eleven years of use
• When weight-sensitive applications grew to require more capacity, the Atlas was later traded in for a Titan arm that could handle heavier loads like Alexa cameras with Cooke lenses and additional support gear
• Sachtler Artemis springs should be changed every three to four years as preventive maintenance to maintain reliability

Depends on

• Discussion centered on one operator's specific workflow and payload choices
• Atlas weight compared to Titan was mentioned as unverified hearsay without published specifications
• The upgrade from Atlas to Titan was driven by changing project requirements, not arm performance issues
• Timeline spans approximately two years, so technology and product availability may have changed
