Enhanced Visibility

Customizable Onboard Controls

Expandable Optics Library, Camera Control

Thanks to the implementation of CTRL.OS, the CTRL.5 is capable of compiling real-time data from multiple connected devices simultaneously. An expandable optics library allows you to build out lens and filter kits and sync them to a cloud library for easy recall. CTRL.OS builds on the previous SmallHD and Teradek integrations for camera control with RED, ARRI, Sony, and other major brands.

Back Panel Connectivity

Use the 5-pin USB and 4-Pin AUX ports to connect the unit directly to monitors or cameras of your choice. An NP-F/L-series battery plate supports power from compatible sources with 6 to 28V outputs. Multiple 1/4"-20 anti-twist mounting threads can secure the CTRL.5 to your camera rig or director's monitor setup, while neck and hand strap slots offer additional options.
