The SFH-30 demonstration video

With floods of enquires and requests for different controllers for different applications, the Mark Roberts Motion Control design team have created systems for all users. For broadcast applications and small HD video cameras there are pan bars, hand wheels or a joystick console. For stop frame animation there is our Flair computer system. For time-lapse on remote location we have created a simple software (Aeon) that can be run from a laptop.

And our latest advance for the ultimate remote time-lapse shoot, the SFH-30 can now be run wirelessly from a PDA or any Windows Mobile device (like a phone) using Bluetooth technology.

Click on the YouTube video below to see the demonstration of the SFH-30 with its various controllers.

The SFH-30 is a low cost, high precision pan tilt head suitable for a wide range of applications. From stop frame animation, time-lapse, virtual reality, web promo videos to broadcast applications with small HD cameras. The SFH-30 is precise enough to be completely pixel accurate with HD and super-HD cameras, compact and lightweight to be used on any location for that perfect time-lapse shot and strong enough to take a wide range of cameras and lenses.
