PixOrb HD

Peace River Studios is pleased to introduce PixOrb HD, a motorized head for panoramic and spherical photography.

PixOrb HD’s automated, battery-operated features enable efficient image capture in time sensitive shooting situations, remote locations and tight quarters including car interiors and airplane cockpits.

Smooth and quiet operation is suitable for natural settings and wildlife photography. PixOrb HD can also be connected to a computer for extensive customization of its motion control routines.

PixOrb HD has additional applications in special effects photography such as high dynamic range imaging, time-lapse photography, and film and video repeatable motion control

Multiple Uses:
• automatic two-axis indexing and image capturing for creating spherical and cylindrical panoramas and two-axis time-lapse movies.
• programmable for any number and size of pan and tilt increments
• repeatable two-axis moves for creating full-motion film or video
• can be mounted on our TrailRail™ linear dolly system for light-weight three-axis still and full motion image capturing.

Structure:
• two modular aluminum frames mounted on a circular 6" base
• an exterior fixed frame measuring up to 15" x 13"
• an interior tilt frame measuring up to 7" x 11" suspended within the fixed frame
• custom sizing and configurations available

Mounting:
• mounts on any tripod or leveling head (optional Manfrotto 410 leveling head available)
• overall maximum dimensions 16" x 13"
• camera bracket provides for easy front-to-back, side-to-side and up-down adjustments
• accommodates a wide range of small to medium-sized cameras and lenses in either the
landscape or the portrait position
• allows precise positioning of the nodal point at the center of vertical and horizontal rotation
• eliminates parallax discrepancies between adjacent images

Motors and Control:

• two precision provide smooth and accurate power in tilt and pan
• the control unit mounted on the upper base plate consists of:
• two stand-alone motor controllers allow the unit to operate independent of a computer
• four I/O ports for triggering a camera and accepting input signals, e.g., from an intervalometer, (available as an option) or a remote program pause switch (provided)
• forward and backward jog buttons and program start and stop buttons
• toggle switch to select between two pre-programmed sequences
• connectivity to a Macintosh™ computer for customizing the preprogrammed moves including start delay, bracketing options, and pauses using our Motion Control and Image Capturing software

Power:
• a single 28 volt rechargeable battery pack powers the whole system
• no cables interfere with any programmed moves
• two battery packs and a one hour AC charger are provided to minimize down time

We use PixOrb for our productions and also sell them to our compatriots in the industry.
