The edelkrone HeadPLUS Standard Kit from B&H provides a comprehensive solution for shooting moving subjects with precise focus and zooming functionality, as well as ultrasmooth panning and tilting. It comes with a HeadPLUS v3 pan/tilt head, a Target module, a Vision module, a Focus/Zoom module, and a soft case for convenient transport and storage.
The HeadPLUS v3 Pan and Tilt Head from edelkrone is an updated, sturdy aluminum and stainless steel head with smooth and automatic pan and tilt functions, supporting a maximum load of 10 lb. The versatile unit mounts onto a tripod with a 3/8"-16 screw, or it can be paired with the SliderPLUS, SliderONE, DollyONE, DollyPLUS, JibONE, and JibPLUS for smooth, accurate, sharply focused sliding shots.
The HeadPLUS can be accurately controlled using the edelkrone smartphone app or can be moved manually. Mounting on the SliderPLUS or DollyPLUS allows objects to be automatically tracked, producing dramatic motion shots. The unit supports time-lapse capture and special effects shots aided by recorded and repeated motions with a maximum speed of 360° in 10 seconds. An automatic point tracking feature enables you to lock to any point in a 3D space while moving on edelkrone sliders, jibs, or dollies.
A separately available Laser Module allows you to record the distance and location of your subject, tracking it while in motion. An integrated LANC port facilitates triggering your camera's shutter with an optional cable. The head folds down flat, making it easy to store in a production bag. The included L-bracket supports payloads up to 10 lb, and the unit can be powered via the included AC/DC adapter and NP-F battery plates or by using optional V-mount, Gold mount, or LP-E6 options.
Pinpoint your subject with speed and precision with the edelkrone Target Module designed specifically for the HeadPLUS and HeadPLUS PRO pan and tilt slider heads. The Target Module slides neatly onto the HeadPLUS slider head just below the camera mount and stays in place with a magnetic plate.
The module integrates with the HeadPLUS app to instantly learn where your target is by aiming the laser and pressing a button. First, it measures the distance, then it locks onto the subject to help achieve complex sliding pan-and-tilt shots. A LINK cable is included to connect the Target Module to the HeadPLUS.
Add face tracking to your HeadPLUS v2 or HeadPLUS v2 PRO automated video head with the Vision Module from edelkrone. The Vision Module is a great solution for raising your production value with motion shots when you have a small or one-person crew. The module connects to the head to provide accurate, automatic facial or object tracking with a single tap using the companion edelkrone iOS smartphone app, and the head will smoothly follow the subject. It can also provide live, wireless video monitoring for your entire crew, supporting multiple mobile devices.
The module can track faces using automatic one-tap tracking, or you can select up to three faces on a screen and select them as you record live to change the tracking subject. It can also be used to follow arbitrary objects in the camera's field of view. The module can take advantage of the low-light capability of your camera's sensor to maintain tracking accuracy in challenging light conditions. It powers using the battery bracket from the HeadPLUS, and power and video pass through the module to the head. There is also an HDMI loop output to add a local monitor.
Elevate your filmmaking and creative potential with the Focus/Zoom Module v3 from edelkrone. Designed to provide precise and dynamic control over your camera's focus and zoom functions, the unit seamlessly integrates with your HeadPLUS v3 or HeadPLUS v3 PRO motion control system. Its ease of installation and use pair with versatility as the unit's motor utilizes standard 0.8 MOD cine gears that work with just about any lens with 0.8 MOD grooves or on other lenses with the included lens gear PRO ring. It works with any lens other than servo lenses that feature hard stops or infinity focus lenses.
The brushless motor features a precision, ultra-high-resolution encoder for reliable and silent operation. Adjustable speed settings enable you to achieve smooth and gradual zoom transitions, while automatic focus stacking allows you to capture macro shots with ease. The compact and lightweight design facilitates portability, and the unit's stainless steel and CNC-machined aluminum construction ensures durability for years to come.
Carry your HeadPLUS or HeadPLUS PRO in this stylish yet protective edelkrone Soft Case. Dual zippers run nearly the entire circumference of the case, allowing you to open it flat and making it easy to get to your gear inside. An internal divider keeps your gear snug, and a compartment in the lid holds batteries or other accessories. An included pouch holds the L-bracket for your HeadPlus or HeadPLUS Pro, and carabiner loops allow you to use the included carabiners for attaching accessory pouches to the case. An attached strap simplifies carrying the soft case.
