Description

Panther TRIXY Remote Head — Ultimate Freedom of Movement for Professional Camera Operation

The Panther TRIXY Remote Head is a versatile, high-performance camera stabilization and control system engineered to deliver absolute freedom of movement and precision control for film and video productions. Designed to support cameras up to 20 kg (44 lbs), the TRIXY system offers up to three axes of movement, allowing filmmakers and camera operators to achieve fluid, dynamic shots in every conceivable direction.

Equipped with innovative slip ring technology, the TRIXY Remote Head eliminates cable tangling and restrictions by enabling unlimited 360° continuous rotation on all axes. This makes it an ideal choice for complex crane operations, jib arms, and other motion control rigs requiring smooth, uninterrupted camera motion.

3-Axis Movement for Cinematic Freedom

The TRIXY Remote Head provides up to three axes of precise movement—pan, tilt, and roll—with the third axis available as an optional upgrade. Each axis is engineered with highly precise, backlash-free gears and specialized motors, guaranteeing quiet, dynamic, and responsive operation. This multi-axis control empowers filmmakers to capture complex camera moves and creative angles with professional smoothness.

Advanced Slip Ring Technology

At the core of the TRIXY system is its newly developed, ultra-flat slip rings that enable unrestricted rotation without any loss of signal or power transmission. These slip rings support:

• Digital control signals via CAN-Bus for seamless communication with remote control units.

• Video signal pass-through maintaining crystal-clear image quality.

• Power supply to the camera and accessories without interruption.

This slip ring innovation eradicates “cable spaghetti” issues common in multi-axis rigs, facilitating reliable and hassle-free operation even during continuous 360-degree spins.

Comprehensive Lens Control System

Panther’s TRIXY Remote Head supports precise lens control compatible with the majority of film and video lenses. It comes equipped with external lens motors designed for zoom, focus, and iris control, allowing operators to remotely adjust lens parameters with ease and accuracy.

• Lens motors automatically calibrate immediately after powering on.

• Tool-free, exchangeable gear wheels make it easy to adapt to different lens types.

• An optional digital Lens Control Box provides compatibility with internal lens drives found on popular HD lenses from brands like Canon and Fujinon.

This system offers flexible configuration options tailored to specific lens and camera setups, ensuring smooth integration and professional-grade control.

Intuitive and Flexible Operation

Control of the TRIXY Remote Head is designed to be user-friendly and adaptable to various production setups:

• Operate via rear crane handles attached to systems such as the Pixy Plus Crane, enabling precise pan and tilt control.

• The CPU control box and monitor can be positioned conveniently within reach.

• Optional Table Top and Pan Bar Controls allow for operation away from the crane for greater flexibility.

• Features like limit and position storage enhance workflow efficiency by remembering preset camera positions.

Powerful Motor Technology

The TRIXY employs stepper motors with high-resolution shaft encoders for precise torque and speed management. These motors provide:

• Smooth, synchronized operation across all axes.

• High dynamism allowing quick, responsive camera moves.

• Multistage gears with sliding clutches protect the system from mechanical overload, ensuring durability and longevity.

Designed for Easy Transport and Protection

Panther understands the demands of professional filmmaking environments. That’s why the TRIXY Remote Head comes with a specially designed transport case that securely stores all components and protects the system from damage during transit. The compact packaging ensures the entire system is ready to deploy on any set with minimal hassle.

The Panther TRIXY Remote Head is a true all-rounder for professionals seeking advanced camera motion capabilities, unmatched freedom of movement, and precise remote lens control—all housed within a rugged, transport-friendly design.
