For use on the Pan Bar where only Pan & Tilt are required of the Pan Bar and no Lens Controls are needed.
Capstan Focus
Used on either Pan Bar or the back of a Jib arm.
This Focus Handset uses an Encoder instead of a Potentiometer. This allows the Focus travel to be either one, two or four turns from near focus to infinity.
This model has a Capstan style operation.
Whip Handle Focus
Used on either Pan Bar or the back of a Jib arm.
This Focus Handset uses an Encoder instead of a Potentiometer. This allows the Focus travel to be either one, two or four turns from near focus to infinity.

This Handset can control Pan, Tilt & Roll. It is ideal for use on the back of a Jib arm where the Jib Arm Operator wants to control the Head whilst moving the Jib Arm.

IP (Internet Protocol) Link

Rolling Monitor
When using a Roll axis and the camera is more than 90 degrees to the horizontal, the operators’ actions appear to move in the wrong direction.
Our Rolling monitor rotates the Monitor by the same amount as the Roll. The picture on the Rolling Monitor is always horizontal and the operators actions are no longer difficult to control.
Stab Genie App
The Stab Genie App is a free app available from the Apple App Store and it can be used to offer control options to the A&C Memory Consoles. These consoles must be connected to the WiFi Hub. The Help files on the app give detailed instructions on its use.

We only offer the Stab Genie for use with iPhone and iPad.
