Head and Controller - true motion control system for pan/tilt/zoom/focus control

The Cinema Pro-K2 includes broadcast-style pan bars for a very intuitive, but high-performance method of remotely operating a camera with minimal learning curve. This extremely stable and dynamic true motion control system gives complete pan/tilt/zoom/focus control from the handles of encoded pan bars that work just like a fluid head tripod. Utilizing powerful but quiet drivetrains and full slip rings, the Cinema Pro head is capable of tracking the most delicate to the most intense actions with equal grace. Built-in lens control, repeatable 5-axis capability, advanced intervalometer, and full motion control parameters are but a few of the highlights. Designed and manufactured in the USA, and backed by outstanding customer support, this system has made a name in the industry for a reason. Cinemapro-K2 Includes Control Console, Encoded Pan Bars, 50' Control Cable, 30' Pwr Cable, Pwr Supply & Rolling Hard Case.

This kit includes:

Designed and built by Academy Award winning motion picture engineers, the Cinema Pro has been chosen by DPs and producers around the world for its smoothness, stability, and versatile feature set. In production for many years now, the Cinema Pro is extremely reliable, easy to set up and operate, and capable of imperceptibly slow or lightning fast moves with no sacrifice in stability. With an impressive set of standard features and a proud pedigree, it outperforms the competition at a fraction of the price and works with a huge range of film and video cameras.

The Cinema Pro-K2 pan bars kit is popular with broadcast operators, sports cameramen, and videographers. The pan bars are great for tracking shots and easier to learn than the hand wheels, so those relatively new to motion control often gravitate toward the pan bars option. The pan bars offer scalable speed so the head's range of motion can be customized relative to the motion of the pan bars. The zoom & focus hand controls on the pan bars enable seamless single-operator remote camera control. The pan bars are slaved to the advanced console, which features a superb 3-axis joystick with customizable response for pan/tilt/zoom, oversize control knobs for focus and menu adjustment, backlit keypad, and a whole host of parametric menu settings and interface options. The system is compatible with virtual set software, motion data import/export, and is capable of controlling servo lenses directly or can be integrated seamlessly with our TOC external lens drive motor system.

The Cinema Pro is used on a regular basis by crane & jib operators, visual effects studios, sports & racing productions, and feature film crews worldwide. Available with a wide array of options for camera control, mounting hardware, and even wireless up to 1 mile, the Cinema Pro is the ultimate in affordable true motion control heads, with superb mechanical stability and frame-accurate, recordable 5-channel control for absolutely precise repeatable motion control sequences.

The Advanced Controller can be used stand-alone for desktop/tripod operations or paired with optional Control Input Units.
