POWER POD CLASSIC
REMOTE HEAD
The POWER-POD is the most versatile and
reliable remote head available in the film industry. It
is the one that the operator would build for himself ,
one that delivers exceptional performance and smooth
response; one he knows he can trust.
The modular POWER-POD System allows the
operator to re-configure the size and shape of the head
in minutes. It can fly an Arri 435 through a car
window, or, rotate a Moviecam with a 1000 ft. mag
and a 10:1 lens through continuous pan and tilt...
The POWER-POD has a broad tolerance for offbalance loads. It can capture difficult shots in
impractical or treacherous environments. With the
crew at a safe distance, POWER-POD makes
dangerous moves that would ordinarily be abandoned.
When conditions are less than ideal, the POWER
POD System always delivers.

POWER POD 2000
REMOTE HEAD
2 or 3 AXIS
The POWER-POD 2000 is a powerful real time
digital robotic remote head offering a wealth of
options that include a third axis as well as motion
control interfacing. Its patented modular construction
allow one system to change from the two axis small
configuration all the way through to its full three axis
tall configuration in times that can be as little as 15
minutes.
If required the POWER-POD 2000 can be taken
from its cases and used as a straight forward two axis
powerful remote head, giving excellent smooth
precise performance, without becoming too
technically complex. Or if the operator chooses, the
level of technical sophistication can be opened up to
become an extremely powerful memory head
recalling positions and moves and offering motion
control and post production advantages.
