Remotely control your camera's pan and tilt while mounted on a crane or jib with the PROAIM EXPLORER PAN TILT HEAD : 8KG/17.6LB PAYLOAD. The Explorer features smooth 360° pan and tilt axes and a wired remote, allowing you to move your camera while it's extended on a crane or jib, or even when it's on a flat surface. The mounting head and motor are constructed with durable steel to support a camera rig of up to 8 kg.
The head runs on 12 VDC from a battery pack or the included AC power supply. It features a robust yet lightweight construction, and the universal mounting base and intuitive control box make it a breeze to set up and operate on virtually any jib. The universal camera plate is adjustable for various setups and can support camera rigs weighing up to 16.5 lb.
The 2-axis head ensures a perfect camera balance and offers smooth movements, and it can be mounted vertically or underslung. It can pan and tilt through 360° and has variable pan and tilt speeds with a minimum speed of one revolution per 4 seconds to a maximum of one revolution per 1 minute 25 seconds for smooth pans and tilts. The precise, quiet motors are backlash free, offer 40% more speed than standard motors, and have extended rotation life.
The controller adjusts pan/tilt speed using damping control, preventing the head from stopping with a jerk and enabling you to achieve smooth stoppage. You can also easily reverse the pan/tilt direction for more convenience. The dead spot control determines the center band of the joystick where no motion will occur and ensures no crossover to the other axis. You can adjust your joystick when it is not centered by rotating this knob clockwise.
