Apparatus for remotely controlling geared heads for motion picture and electronic medium cameras and methods for using same

摘要: A two-axis or three-axis digitally controlled microprocessor for remotely controlling an existing manually operated geared head uses digital technology to provide full precise control of the from a remote distance. Additionally, by utilizing system's electronics, system operator has ten gear ratios instead three that typically exist in prior art manual head. Another feature permits camera set four predetermined soft stop positions. The capability being able record X/Y/Z position precisely and duplicate same motion repeatedly. is very simple ergonomically advantageous operate. One single umbilical cable between controller provides most necessary communication supplies power camera.
