Sturdy Aluminum Design

The HeadPLUS v3 is made with CNC-machined aluminum and can hold an equipment load of up to 10 lb. It folds down flat to fit in a bag.

Easy Manual or Auto Operation

The head requires no calibration and operates smoothly and silently. You can either program it for automated motion or operate it manually.

Automatic Point Tracking

With the edelkrone exclusive Point Tracking Feature, you can lock on to any point in a 3D space while your camera is moving on edelkrone sliders, jibs, or dollies. With the separate buttons to control the body and head, you can trigger any body motion without worrying about the head control. The HeadPLUS v3 will act automatically to keep the point fixed in the frame, giving you amazing parallax results.

Teach a Point Easily

By using your camera, aim at the same point from two separate angles and set a point. The app will guide you step by step in a matter of seconds.

Head and Body Control Separated

Point Buttons allow the unit to lock on a target point, so once you trigger body motion by using any of the position buttons, the unit will adjust itself in real time, keeping the frame locked on the point.

No Image Processing

While your Slider/Jib/Dolly is in motion, point tracking mode uses real-time inverse kinematic calculations to adjust the pan, tilt, and focus of the HeadPLUS. This method is unique to edelkrone motion control systems, and since it uses no image processing, it is currently the best-performing and most reliable parallax video solution in the market.

Keypose Motion Programming

Keypose mode is the base controlling mode that works with all edelkrone devices and device groups. With this mode, you can save the current pose of the devices to a single button. By saving several poses on separate Keypose buttons, you can create smooth transitions between them.

Mounting

The HeadPLUS v3 can be installed on a tripod with a 3/8"-16 mount, and it comes with an L-bracket.

Smartphone App Control

Connect the edelkrone smartphone app via Bluetooth to control speed and record/repeat motions for time-lapses, visual effects, or other complex shots.

Object Tracking

You can purchase the optional Laser Module to pinpoint your subject, learn its distance, and track it when performing complex pan-and-tilt sliding shots.

Power

Power with the included AC/DC adapter, NP-F battery plates, or optional V-mount, Gold mount, and LP-E6 battery plates.

edelkrone Target Module for HeadPLUS

Intuitive Face Tracking

The Vision Module adds smart, responsive, and fully automated camera movements to your production that make working with moving subjects easier than ever. It instantly locks on to the face you select with a single tap from your edelkrone app and tracks its movement utilizing the motorized mechanism of HeadPLUS v2 or HeadPLUS v2 PRO. It flawlessly connects and communicates with your entire edelkrone ecosystem to make your workflow even more efficient.

Arbitrary Object Tracking

The Vision Module is designed and optimized for face tracking, and it can also be used for arbitrary object tracking in suitable scenarios, which gives you more options to explore your creativity. The intuitive interface of the edelkrone app makes setting up non-facial tracking very easy.

Live Feed from Your Camera

When combined with HeadPLUS v2 or HeadPLUS v2 PRO, the Vision Module allows you to see what you're tracking through Vision mode as well as Keypose and Target modes using the edelkrone app. The Vision Module can also be used on its own for video transmission from your camera to your mobile device without the need for any additional equipment.

Instant and Advanced Face Tracking

The Vision Module offers the fastest and most intuitive way to track any face that appears on the screen. Just tap "Instant Face Tracking" on the edelkrone app and start filming. The advanced features of the Vision Module include the ability to introduce up to three faces in the edelkrone App and easily switching between them as you film. The face introduction process only takes a few seconds and the Vision Module continues to track faces even if they move in and out of the frame.

Adjustable Framing for Cinematic Results

You can adjust the offset coordinates of your subject inside the camera frame using the edelkrone app to achieve cinematic framing with the Vision Module.

Portable Monitors for You and Your Crew

Just like the rest of the edelkrone ecosystem, HeadPLUS v2 or HeadPLUS v2 PRO setups with the Vision Module can be controlled from a single mobile device at a given time. Multiple devices on a shared network can connect to the same Vision Module to view the live feed directly from your camera. Depending on your Wi-Fi network quality, you can connect more than five mobile devices to Vision Module. This live feed feature works with edelkrone's free app and gives you the option to have several portable "monitors" for your crew.

Accurate Tracking in Challenging Environments

Unlike other products on the market, Vision Module taps directly into your camera's HDMI feed to provide sensitive tracking. Vision Module utilizes the image sensors of your camera to provide perfect tracking, even in typically challenging low light settings.

New Features for Your edelkrone Motion Control Systems

The Vision Module was designed to unlock new and advanced features for your setup while staying true to edelkrone's innovative vision. A HeadPLUS v2 or HeadPLUS v2 PRO is required to bring the face and object tracking system to life, but the addition of edelkrone Sliders, Dollies, and Jibs can provide you with even more possibilities when filming.

One-Person Crew

By adding the Vision Module to your edelkrone setup, you can create the ultimate one-person crew to assist you when filming. The dynamic shots you create can easily trick your audience into thinking you had an entire crew of professionals helping out behind the scenes. It is a great solution for any filmmaker, videographer, content creator, YouTuber, Twitch streamer, or anyone who wants to add effortless and responsive movements to their shots.
