The upgraded Kessler Crane CineShooter+ Pan & Tilt Head equips you with the same full-featured motorized pan and tilt head as its predecessor with a new Helical Gearbox, quieter motors, and OLED screen. 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/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. The CineShooter+ can be powered via the included AC power adapter, an optional Kessler MagPack battery, or optional Gold mount/V-mount battery plates.

- Onboard controls include a joystick and buttons with its status and configuration shown on the OLED screen.
- 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.
