The VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-K3 Cinema Pro Talon Remote Head Kit delivers professional-grade motion control with full pan, tilt, zoom, and focus capabilities. Designed for filmmakers, visual effects, sports and broadcast productions, this advanced system combines precision mechanics, slip-ring construction, and an intuitive 3-axis joystick console for smooth, repeatable, frame-accurate camera movements.
The VariZoom VZCINEMAPRO-K3 Remote Head Kit, also known as the Cinema Pro Talon, is a highly stable, versatile motion control system built for professional cinematography. Developed by Academy Award-winning engineers in the USA, the K3 system is designed to deliver smooth, precise, and repeatable camera movements in any production environment, from feature films to sports, racing, and visual effects studios.
The included advanced control console offers a 3-axis joystick for pan, tilt, and zoom, separate focus knob, backlit keypad, and customizable parametric settings for ultimate control. Operators can record and playback 1 hour of motion with up to 2,000 marked positions, adjust smoothing and speed for each axis, and program motion limits and servo tuning for extreme precision. The system supports Fuji, Canon, and Preston lens control, zoom compensation for telephoto lenses, camera sync for frame-accurate shots, and an advanced intervalometer for stretching moves in time.
The Cinema Pro head itself features full slip rings for continuous 360° rotation, robust mechanical stability, and a design capable of handling cameras up to 50 lbs standard, 85 lbs with optional support bearings and outrigger cradle. Its underslung configuration provides versatile vertical and horizontal clearance for complex setups, while pan/tilt speeds reach up to 210° per second. Optional wireless control up to 1 mile and virtual set software integration make the system adaptable to modern production needs.
Built to last, the VZCINEMAPRO-K3 combines professional-grade features, mechanical precision, and reliability, offering filmmakers a high-end motion control head at an accessible price point.
