The levers have a locking system that allows you to assemble the entire kit and balance it along with the camera or video camera in just a few moments. If you have a “Slider Zeapon Micro 2 Plus” slider with a drive module or other devices that you can interchange with your equipment, you will truly appreciate how quick and convenient this process can be! Even more possibilities. Not everyone has the budget for a comprehensive “motion control” system. By installing separate modules, the Zeapon brand allows you to customize your toolkit according to your current budget. The “Zeapon Pons PT” motorized horizontal head can be just the beginning of your motion automation adventures. As your skills improve and new needs arise, you will expand your toolkit with additional components. The “Zeapon Micro 2 Plus” slider with a drive module, “Revolver Quick Release” handles, more “Pons” series heads, portable battery packs, “Timelapse Trigger” – more devices will allow you to create complex motion sequences that will elevate your video production to a whole new level. Remote control via app. You can find the free “Zeapon Lab” app on Google Play and the App Store. With its help, controlling the device will become even more convenient, giving you greater freedom of work. Program motion sequences, set speeds, or control individual axes in real-time. The app will open up new possibilities for you, providing access to unique tools that will allow you to create beautiful time-lapses for your video blogs, time-lapse animations directly from professional product videos, and breathtaking 360º panoramas. Also, for photographers, we primarily associate “Motion Control” devices with the film world. The “Zeapon Pons PT” motorized panoramic head is also perfect for photographers. In “Matrix mode”, you will shoot high-resolution photos by stitching multiple frames into one large image. The precise operation of the motors will allow the individual pieces of this puzzle to fit together perfectly. This technique will also enable you to create breathtaking panoramas.4 Shots straight from the movie “Inception”. It is not always possible to fully rotate the camera in relation to the lens axis using a stabilizer. Weight limitations often prevent the creation of impressive shots straight from the movie “Inception”. Fortunately, with the “Zeapon Pons PT” motorized panoramic head, this will be possible! Efficient camera rotation will allow you to create unforgettable shots that will be perfect, for example, in advertisements. Highly versatile application. The “Zeapon Pons PT” motorized panoramic head boasts an impressive maximum lifting capacity of up to 50 kg when the camera or video camera is properly balanced and controlled in a horizontal position. This means that you can successfully pair it with both popular mirrorless cameras and professional film equipment with large lenses. The operation of the device is accompanied by a quiet motor sound, with a maximum noise level of just 39 dB. This value corresponds to the ambient sounds you hear... when visiting a library. Convenient feedback. The “Pons” motorized horizontal head modules have a slot for NP-F batteries, which are extremely popular in the film and photography world. Depending on the selected element (NP-F550, NP-F750, NP-F970), the operating time on a single charge will range from 4 to 14 hours of continuous operation. The battery mounting point is protected by a sturdy lock to prevent accidental disconnection. The USB-C port will allow you to charge the battery (e.g., with a smartphone charger) or with an external battery. The ideal choice for film and product photography. Do you want the object being filmed or photographed to rotate around its axis while the camera is in one position next to the “Pons” motorized horizontal head? Nothing could be simpler! The device features a 2-in-1 thread (1/4 inch and 3/8 inch) that can be completely hidden. You can easily place the product you want to film on the flat surface of the head. If you reach any circular stand, you will create a 360º rotating table in just a few moments, perfect for product photography! The magic of time-lapses. The “Zeapon Pons PT” motorized horizontal head will allow you to create moving time-lapses that depict the flow of time invisible to the naked eye.
