Martin Macula - a brand agnostic remote follow spot system with premium ergonomics

Martin Macula

As a lead up to ISE 2026 in Barcelona, Martin Professional has introduced Martin Macula, a remote follow spot system designed to transform standard moving lights into precision-controlled tracking fixtures for performers and/or objects on stage. The system addresses long-standing operational, safety and ergonomic challenges associated with conventional follow spot workflows, particularly in live performance, touring and sporting environments. Martin Macula replaces height-based follow spot operation with a ground-based control solution. From a single base station, operators can control one or multiple fixtures simultaneously with smooth, responsive movement, while maintaining a real-time visual reference that simulates being positioned directly at the fixture. This approach reduces operator fatigue, improves consistency and eliminates the safety risks associated with elevated platforms. Martin Macula is intended for use across theaters, concerts/touring, broadcast, and sporting venues, where accurate tracking, reliability and operator safety are critical.
