Studio Robotics

Pan and Tilt Heads

At a Glance

With a wide range of pan and tilt heads, Ross Robotics has a model suitable for just about any application, from extremely large payloads of up to 90 kgs (200 lbs) to ultra-quiet, compact heads that are perfect for mounting in smaller studios where space is at a premium; all with industry-leading pan and tilt speeds.

In addition to fully robotic heads, Ross also offers the VRzero encoder interface module packaged with Cartoni manual fluid heads to provide accurate virtual tracking data for manually operated cameras.

Flexible

Class-leading payload capacities provide flexibility to mount just about any camera, lens, and prompter configuration. Our pan and tilt heads can also quickly position the camera for the next shot, without requiring manual touch-ups.

On Track

Accurate and repeatable tracking data makes VR series heads perfect for integration into virtual sets or for adding augmented reality elements to traditional productions.

Powered By MotionDirector

Furio+ unleashes the full power of MotionDirector, combining the unequaled beauty of naturally smooth and synchronized key-frame moves, with the flexibility to make in-flight manual corrections from the joystick panel.

Introducing the X-Series Pan & Tilt Heads

The X-Series pan and tilt heads are perfect for remote camera applications where the flexibility, quality and performance of a separate head, camera, and lens solution are necessary to capture the high-quality images your production demands.

Features

Smooth

X300, X350, 500, 600 and 700 series heads feature special gearboxes that eliminate backlash, as well as high-resolution servos to produce smooth and highly repeatable movements.

In Control

All our PT heads can be controlled from Ross’ DashBoard control system at no extra charge. Combine this with a Monogram Creative Console* modular joystick package to create the ultimate low-cost control system. * Supported in Microsoft Windows only.

Flexible

Ross heads are available with a variety of mounting options that allow them to be placed on top of tripods or pedestals, hung upside down from a ceiling or trusses, or bolted to a desktop or alcove.

Locally Controlled

PT series heads offer an optional Local Control module that provides a local interface for releasing robotic control of the head, and permitting it to be positioned using manual pan bars. Returning to remote robotic control is easy, and does not require homing to re-establish accuracy of presets.

Adaptable

The fully native IP-based control interface and large, color touchscreen on the X350 makes it simple to install, configure, operate and maintain.

Simplicity

With Power, genlock and control (IP or serial) connections for the camera available on the X-Series heads, you can halve the number of cables to run, simplifying installation.

Models

X300/X350

The X300 and X350 have an ultra-compact footprint, all-metal construction, and a payload of 6.8 kg (15 lb). The entry-level X300 provides great performance and reliability, while the full-featured X350 ups the ante with a touchscreen interface, a full suite of camera connectivity options, and virtual tracking data.

520PT

Our most affordable model, 520PT is a compact head that has the highest payload capacity in its class at 32 kgs (70 lbs), enabling it to support a mid-size teleprompter along with ENG or box camera and lens.

VR600/600PT

600 series head is the perfect studio workhorse, accommodating payloads of up to 57 kgs (125 lbs). This makes it ideally suited for today’s typical studio camera configurations, consisting of an ENG or box camera and lens, with full-sized prompter and talent monitor. It is available in two versions: 600PT and VR600, where VR600 adds virtual tracking.

700PT

700PT has the highest payload in the industry at 90 kgs (200 lbs). This makes it the only head capable of supporting the largest studio cameras and lenses, as well as prompters, monitors, and all other accessories that get attached to these camera rigs. 700PT is truly the king when it comes to robotic pan/tilt heads.

VRzero

The VRzero Encoder Interface Module is the perfect solution for introducing virtual or augmented reality in dynamic environments where a manually operated camera is the best option. Packaged with a Cartoni encoded fluid head such as the eSensor or eMagnum, the VRzero provides stable and accurate tracking data over an IP data stream that is easily integrated with a complete Ross Virtual Solution, or third-party render engine.
