The Mocapod Motorized Camera Pod from Kamera Teknik is a versatile motorized pedestal designed for use with PTZ cameras. Capable of handling a payload capacity of up to 22 lb, the Mocapod offers precise and smooth vertical movement via wired remote operation using VISCA over IP, making it ideal for single-operator control. Its silent and stable performance makes it an essential solution for broadcast environments, houses of worship, and conferences.
Constructed from sturdy, black matte anodized aluminum, the pedestal facilitates vibration-free height transitions from 33 to 70", and it is equipped with a reinforced base and folding legs with bracing for quick deployment and transport.
