Question: Why should we use a Stabilized Head over a standard Remote Head?
Answer: One of the main reasons to use a Stabilized Head is the stability and thus improved image quality that you get while the camera is in motion. Our gyro-stabilized heads ensure great image stabilization during dynamic movements, rapid accelerations, and complex maneuvers.
Question: What kind of applications are best suited for the different Stabilized Head models?
Answer:
- The RXS head is normally used in combination with polecams and robotic
polecams in different sports, ceremonies and shows where an absolute minimum footprint is necessary;
- The RS head is used with lightweight cranes – in places where a full-sized crane is not advisable. Often it's rigged on balconies or roofs for concerts and shows;
- The RL head is used with larger cranes and towercams. Because it's weatherproof, this combination is a perfect solution for outdoor usage even in extreme weather conditions.
Question: Which type of cameras can be used on the different Stabilized Head models?
Answer:
- The RXS is designed to use micro and mini cameras like Antelope Pico and Dreamchip Atom One;
- The RS is designed to be used with camcorders, and a whole range of smaller cameras that use the broadcast standard B4 mount studio lenses;
- The RL is designed to carry all major studio cameras and digital film cameras, with a payload up to 15kg (33lbs).
Question: Can the Robyheads be used overslung and underslung?
Answer: RXS is designed to be used underslung while the RS and RL can be used either way. Commonly the RS is used overslung on a trackcam, while the RL is overslung on a towercam.
Question: Are all the systems designed for direct single control use, or it is possible to control multiple heads from one controller?
Answer: Normally our gyro-heads are used with direct single control for live production. However, for our robotic polecam solution with the RXS head we use a modified panel that allows to control two heads by single operator. This single operator solution can be applied to our other systems if requested.
