GyroCAM 3-axis Head

The GyroCAM is an advanced, stabilized, three-axis gyro head. It uses fiber optic gyroscopes to detect any movement of the head and make a quick response with the motors to stabilize A the camera view. It uses two motors for every axis to eliminate backlash and make stable view. Every axis has a separate potentiometer to adjust and compensate the drift of the head movement.

The console has also three potentiometers for separate adjust of maximum speed and dampening of every axis movement.

The console of the head has an ergonomic design to make it very comfortable to steer it. The operator can drive the head without focus on the console. The console has an LCD display with a touchscreen for additional functions.

It is possible to setup focus limits, adjust the back-light of the LCD and change joystick functions by using the GUI on the touchscreen. Usage of fiber optic gyroscopes gives very precise speed feedback and very stable position control when head is moving or stays in position.

The control desktop/panel contains:

  • One joystick for PAN/TILT control with ON/OFF recording button,

  • Second joystick for ROLL/ZOOM/FOCUS control,

  • FLUID potentiometer to adjust the dampening of every axis,

  • MAX SPEED potentiometer for every axis,

  • MAX SPEED potentiometer for ZOOM,

  • OFFSET setup potentiometer for every axis,

  • DIRECTION switch for every axis,

  • ON/OFF button for every axis,

  • HOME button to go back/setup to the starting position,

  • LCD display with GUI to setup and view settings.

MagicHead

The MagicHead is a simple but robust 2-axis digital remote head. It’s ‘modular’ design and rigid construction make the head very stable and it delivers a performance usually only seen in a much more expensive Remote Heads.

Each axis has a unique ‘dual motor’ drive system which eliminates any backlash or play in the drive gears and gives the head a very smooth change in direction. The digital electronics constantly monitor the heads position eliminating any drift and making the head very accurate, even after long periods of continuous use. Because of the Magic Head’s unique design, It is both quick and easy to balance, reducing it’s set up time.

The control desk has been ergonomically designed to be comfortable to operate and it allows for easy access to dampening and speed adjustments on all axes. The standard length of the cable used to connect the desktop with the head is 50m. This can be extended up to 150m.

The control desktop/panel contains:

  • JOYSTICK regulator for both axes

  • Separate regulators of SPEED and FLUID soft start/end for both axes, switches of working directions DIR and also LOCK buttons for PAN and TILT axes

  • HOME button – moving back to start/original position

  • FOCUS rotate regulator and ZOOM tilt for TV cameras

  • Regulator of LIMIT HI and LIMIT LOW range for FOCUS function, switch of working direction DIR and FLUID regulator

  • ZOOM speed regulator, buton of maximum SPEED MAX and switch of working direction DIR
