Perform smooth, precise, quiet camera moves automatically with this Arc II 4-Axis Motorized Pan/Tilt Head from Rhino Camera Gear. The base Arc II can perform pan and tilt operations, and optional slider and focus options are available separately, making it capable of full 4D operations. It mounts a camera with/or fluid head using its Manfrotto 501-type quick release plate and 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screw options. The head can support a cinema camera rig up to 15 lb in weight, and its motors are ultraquiet.
Powerful Arc II features include time-lapse, light-lapse mode that performs night-to-day time-lapse, facial tracking, keyframe presets, and camera power options.

Rhino Camera Gear ARC II Reviews
Continued Failure
This is an updated review on board #2. Rhino mailed me a new PCB board and promised this board wouldn't fail. After mailing me a new PCB board, the new board they sent me was defective out of the box and the LCD never turned on. I'm going DAYS without hearing from somebody. Roughly 24/48 hours per email. This company clearly has no Q/A and can't keep up. I've given them my cell phone number to call me directly to get this resolved, but it's been a lot of crickets and defective products.
Don't do it!
I wish I did more research before buying this product! Not only did it stop working after the second time I used it. (It had a motor failure and a faulty battery.) But the experience of getting it fixed was just as dissapointing, what I was told was going to be a 3-day process took way over 3 weeks, I had to constantly follow up for status updates. And after that long wait I was still sent back broken gear, as they claim forgot to check it if it worked. Overall I would not recommend this product or any of their gear.
