Kessler Crane CineShooter Overview

Add a full-featured motorized pan and tilt head to your rig to perform smooth, precise, remotely controlled camera moves with this CineShooter Pan & Tilt Head from Kessler Crane. This compact but highly versatile head is made from durable, impact-resistant aluminum weighing just 5.4 lb, and it supports a camera rig weighing up to 15 lb.

The base pan and tilt head provides an L-bracket to mount your camera rig using an Arca-type mount, or you can utilize 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads. It can be controlled using the onboard joystick and buttons, with its status and configuration shown on the bright LCD. It is powered using the included AC power adapter, via the optional Kessler MagPak battery, or you can purchase optional Gold mount or V-mount plates. It also allows you to add slider and FIZ control options for your camera, so you can control your entire rig using a single app or controller.

Control options include Wi-Fi or Bluetooth apps using the CineShooter app, or you can utilize macOS or Windows control apps. You can even control the pan and tilt operations using a PS4 DualShock 4 or Xbox One controller and create custom button layouts.

When combined with the CineShooter app, the head can be programmed to perform a variety of preset motions and moves using Live Motion, Time-Lapse, Stop-Motion, FreeMotion, Facial Tracking, Emulation, Silent, and Fast modes. A variety of expansion options are available separately, such as a Smart Handle, a Heavy-Duty Support Module to raise the load capacity to 25 lb, a wireless Slider Motor, and a 2-Axis Expansion Module.
