Wireless Pan & Tilt Head for GoPro & other cameras
The MotorHead Micro consists of a dual transmitter designed to operate two wireless remote heads. There are many offerings out there for gimballed tilting, especially in the recent boom of the radio controlled quad copters. But for live production of concerts, reality programs, sports, wildlife photography or any other POV style production, you’re usually limited to just a fixed type mount’. You can add multiple systems to control multiple cameras.
Transmitter
The Micro handheld or desktop transmitter is specially modified to give a single operator, control of two heads via the dual joysticks. You can tailor the sensitivity of the joysticks as well as direction of the motors and other programmable attributes via the LCD screen and buttons. These units come pre-programmed and ready to operate from 35 to 60 hours or more before changing the 4 AA batteries.
Heads/Receivers
Each head operates on a single 9 volt battery with a range of several hundred feet. The head mounts via a 5/8” baby pin receiver to your standard grip equipment. You can acheive 360 degree+ pans and tilts. The heads can be mounted overslung, underslung or on their side. You can also orient the camera for dutch roll to achieve different effects. For live production, just run your HDMI and power cables through the rubber grommet in the case and then
out through the axles. The receivers are locked to the 2.4 GHz spread spectrum transmitter frequency, so they’ll ignore any stray signals. These use the SLT (Secure Link Technology) protocol for interference free operation. The heads operate from 30 to 240 hours dependent on the activity.
Now available soon – a ‘whisper quiet motor option’ for those noise sensitive environments.
