Description
Egripment 312/MK II Panbar Control
Professional Panbar-Based Remote Control System for Camera Cranes, Pedestals & Remote Heads.
The Egripment 312/MK II Panbar Control is a high-precision, ergonomically designed remote control unit that provides intuitive pan and tilt operation of remote camera heads using traditional pan bar movement. Ideal for operators accustomed to classic fluid head controls, this unit translates manual hand motions into electronic remote commands, making it the perfect solution for broadcast studios, sports productions, camera cranes, and virtual production environments.
Built to mimic the feel and responsiveness of traditional pan/tilt heads, the 312/MK II Panbar Control offers operators natural camera handling even when working with remote-controlled or encoded heads mounted on cranes, dollies, pedestals, or telescoping columns. The result is precise, comfortable, and highly responsive control over camera movement—enhancing both live camera operation and recorded motion control sequences.
Designed for Broadcast, Sports, and Cinematic Crane Operation
The 312/MK II Panbar Control integrates seamlessly with Egripment’s remote head systems like the 306, 205 Encoded Head, or HotHead, offering smooth, lag-free translation of manual movement into electronic signals. The unit is particularly useful when operating camera cranes like the Scanner Elite, TDT Encoded Crane, or Compact XL, where direct manual control isn’t possible.
With adjustable tension, user-friendly ergonomics, and compatibility with AR/VR tracking systems, this control solution is optimized for camera operators who require precision, comfort, and real-time responsiveness.
Optimized for Studio, Field & Virtual Camera Operation
Whether you’re tracking a fast-paced sports scene, gliding across a stage on a crane, or performing motion-controlled sequences in a virtual studio, the Egripment 312/MK II Panbar Control delivers tactile precision. It bridges the gap between manual artistry and robotic precision—making it the go-to solution for professionals seeking the best of both worlds.
