- Smooth Automatic Pan and Tilt Head
- 20 lb Maximum Load
- Use on Tripod or SliderPLUS PRO
- Manual or Smartphone App Control
Upgrade your shots with smooth, precise motion using the HeadPLUS PRO Pan and Tilt Head from edelkrone. The sturdy aluminum and steel head supports a maximum equipment load of 20 lb. It can be mounted onto a tripod with a 3/8″-16 screw or used with the SliderPLUS PRO with Slide Module for smooth pan/tilt sliding shots.
The head can be precisely controlled via the edelkrone smartphone app or it can be moved manually. When mounted on the SliderPLUS PRO, you can track objects automatically to produce dramatic motion shots such as parallax effects. The head can also be programmed for time-lapse or special effects shots by recording motions and repeating them.
With the separately available Focus Module, you can control focus at points during your motion. During a pan-and-tilt sliding shot, you can pre-program to live-switch between three targets and adjust focus during movement. You can also purchase the Laser Module which can record the distance and location of your subject, allowing you to track the object while in motion. The head also has a LANC port which allows you to trigger your camera’s shutter with a separately available cable.
The head folds flat, making it easy to store in a production bag. The HeadPLUS PRO also includes an L-bracket with 1/4″-20 mounting screw for your camera, a LINK cable, and width extenders for use with the SliderPLUS PRO legs. You can power the unit with a separately available AC adapter or optional V-mount, Gold mount, LP-E6, or NP-F battery plates.
