The HeadPLUS can be accurately controlled using the edelkrone smartphone app or can be moved manually. Mounting on the SliderPLUS or DollyPLUS allows objects to be automatically tracked, producing dramatic motion shots. The unit supports time-lapse capture and special effects shots aided by recorded and repeated motions with a maximum speed of 360° in 10 seconds. An automatic point tracking feature enables you to lock to any point in a 3D space while moving on edelkrone sliders, jibs, or dollies.
A separately available Laser Module allows you to record the distance and location of your subject, tracking it while in motion. An integrated LANC port facilitates triggering your camera's shutter with an optional cable. The head folds down flat, making it easy to store in a production bag. The included L-bracket supports payloads up to 10 lb, and the unit can be powered via the included AC/DC adapter and NP-F battery plates or by using optional V-mount, Gold mount, or LP-E6 options.
Sturdy Aluminum Design
The HeadPLUS v3 is made with CNC-machined aluminum and can hold an equipment load of up to 10 lb. It folds down flat to fit in a bag.
Easy Manual or Auto Operation
The head requires no calibration and operates smoothly and silently. You can either program it for automated motion or operate it manually.
Automatic Point Tracking
With the edelkrone exclusive Point Tracking Feature, you can lock on to any point in a 3D space while your camera is moving on edelkrone sliders, jibs, or dollies. With the separate buttons to control the body and head, you can trigger any body motion without worrying about the head control. The HeadPLUS v3 will act automatically to keep the point fixed in the frame, giving you amazing parallax results.
Teach a Point Easily
By using your camera, aim at the same point from two separate angles and set a point. The app will guide you step by step in a matter of seconds.
Head and Body Control Separated
Point Buttons allow the unit to lock on a target point, so once you trigger body motion by using any of the position buttons, the unit will adjust itself in real time, keeping the frame locked on the point.
No Image Processing
While your Slider/Jib/Dolly is in motion, point tracking mode uses real-time inverse kinematic calculations to adjust the pan, tilt, and focus of the HeadPLUS. This method is unique to edelkrone motion control systems, and since it uses no image processing, it is currently the best-performing and most reliable parallax video solution in the market.
Keypose Motion Programming
Keypose mode is the base controlling mode that works with all edelkrone devices and device groups. With this mode, you can save the current pose of the devices to a single button. By saving several poses on separate Keypose buttons, you can create smooth transitions between them.
Mounting
The HeadPLUS v3 can be installed on a tripod with a 3/8"-16 mount, and it comes with an L-bracket.
Smartphone App Control
Connect the edelkrone smartphone app via Bluetooth to control speed and record/repeat motions for time-lapses, visual effects, or other complex shots.
Object Tracking
You can purchase the optional Laser Module to pinpoint your subject, learn its distance, and track it when performing complex pan-and-tilt sliding shots.
