In Detail:

• Best in class camera support: With stronger materials and a smarter L-Shaped Frame, the ST4 supports up to 15lbs of camera/lenses for all modes. This gives you more options than with any other motion control system less than $10K.

• Simple, Quick Setup: Do more with fewer wires. When using an industry standard V-Lock battery, there are only 2 locking motor cables to connect in to get a full 4-axis motion control rig. You get a full featured rig that is easier to set up on every shoot.

• Dana Dolly Integration: Support Universal and Original Track Ends. Triangle or Round Track on stands or apple boxes.

• Wireless 4-axis remote control: For a live shooter, the included gaming remote and its intuitive analogue joysticks and triggers puts you in control of all 4-axes (pan, tilt, slide, and focus) for cinematic moves.

• Selectable motor profiles: The spectrum ST4 is all about feel. Unlike most other motion control units on the market, it has outstanding live control through the remote. The spectrum ST4 is armed with 10 different motor move presets – from turbo mode to quiet interview mode and everything in between.

• GoTo frames (Live Keyframing): Set up important target positions that can be called up with a button press from the remote. Hit your target on time, every time, with the ramping and damping feel you select. Assign up to 4 GoTo frames to set up quick video moves and traverse between these points live.

Smooth Tabletop Product Shooting: Smooth and precise for close-up macro shots and fast and controlled for higher speed overcranked shots. The spectrum ST4 / Dana Dolly kit will make your product shots stand out.

• Interview mode: Set up a simple A-B continuous move to serve as your robotic second camera, or push it further by adding 9 keyframes for maintaining perfect tracking and focus.

• Record live and play it back: Record/Playback mode allows you to record a move live and play or repeat that move over and over. You can also program spectrum ST4 to play the move back at different FPS or break it up into a shoot-move-shoot time-lapse.

• For the time-lapse artist: Stand out with 4-axis shot that incldes focus changes. The ST4 has built-in intervalometer to trigger your DSLR. It also integrates with all bulb ramping solutions (Timelapse Plus, Timelapse View, Bramper Pro, etc.). Shoot simple moves, or program up to 9 programmable keyframes to get creative – no computer required. The spectrum ST4 is exceptionally power efficient and can handle long duration shoots with any 12-24 VDC source.

• Expandable/Connectable/Future: Connect to the i/o port and use eMotimo API to push the limits and connect to more devices. The Spectrum ST4 firmware is upgradeable using the included microSD card. Updates are always free.

Accurate & Repeatable for VFX: Repeat your previous move as many times as you need. Spectrum ST4 is frame for frame repeatable, making multiple pass VFX shots as easy as a single button press. Matching shots is easy with the included blip light on the remote.
