The VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-K2 CinemaPro Remote Head is a high-performance motion control system designed by Academy Award-winning engineers for professional filmmakers, broadcast operators, and visual effects studios. This system features broadcast-style encoded pan bars that offer an intuitive and precise method of remotely controlling a camera, including pan, tilt, zoom, and focus, with the responsiveness of a fluid head tripod. The CinemaPro-K2 combines a rigid mechanical design with quiet, powerful drivetrains and full slip rings, enabling imperceptibly slow or high-speed camera moves with exceptional stability.
The system includes the Control Console, encoded pan bars, 50′ control cable, 30′ power cable, power supply, and rolling hard case. The pan bars provide scalable speed, seamless lens control, and ergonomic operation, making them ideal for single-operator setups. The advanced console features a 3-axis joystick for pan/tilt/zoom, oversized focus and menu knobs, backlit keypad, and customizable motion parameters.
Capable of controlling cameras from 35 lbs standard up to 85 lbs with optional support, the CinemaPro-K2 supports frame-accurate, repeatable 5-axis motion, servo tuning, programmable motion limits, and wireless operation up to 1 mile. Compatible with Fuji, Canon, and Preston lens control, as well as virtual set software and motion data import/export, this system is ideal for jib/crane shots, visual effects production, sports, and feature film cinematography. Built in the USA with exceptional reliability, the CinemaPro-K2 delivers professional motion control at an accessible price.
