eMotimo TB3

eMotimo is releasing another head.  In addition to the PT (Pan Tilt), we are almost ready to start selling the TB3 (The Box - 3 Axis).  The TB3 was built to extend what the PT does already - programmed, repeatable, pan and tilt moves for DSLR's and video cameras.  The TB3 is a milled aluminum head with new geometry.  It is strong, lightweight, and it puts the pan-axis nearly on-node with most cameras to turn some big rigs - up to around 8 lbs.     We decided to stay compact though and didn't put the tilt on-node.   Because of this, your tilt range will be lower with the really heavy setups.  With a package of 5lbs you can get the full range (plus or minus 80 degrees) of tilt.  

In addition to the precision pan and tilt axis, you have an additional powered stepper output to drive whatever your MoCo (Motion Control) heart desires.     I don't have any solutions
that I am selling yet, but that shouldn't stop you from building your own!   Future accessories for the Aux motor output could include a wheeled cart, focus module, or a stepper modules for the Dynamic Perceptions, Chronos, or Kessler sliders.     The control of this powered output is all from the Arduino UNO/eMotimo 3 axis shield, but it doesn't have to stop there.

The TB3 also has a dedicated I/O port.  With this port (and future firmware updates :) ) we will be able to talk to more MoCo solutions and triggers.

The good stuff didn't take away.   The really easy intuitive setup with the Wii Nunchuk style remote, and the small, lightweight "hikeable" form factor hasn't changed.    
Come take a look at some more details at eMotimo.com site.   Comments and feedback are always appreciated.
