PanBar is a fluid head, designed in collaboration with Cartoni. The mechanics and our high precision electronics make the PanBar an alternative solution for pan and tilt control.
The handwheel system is fully adjustable and goes in a travel box as one unit, which makes the set up quick and easy.
Extremely strong and backlash-free drive units give operators instant and delay-free control. The precise gear drives support flawless operation with the biggest zoom lenses, unlike worm gear drives which can cause judder, or belt drives that can be elastic. The hole through the centre of the gear boxes, for cable pass-through, removes the need for slip-rings and makes it future-proof for high bandwidth digital video. This also allows for tangle free direct cabling.
The U50 features a U-shaped double frame for more strength, making it possible to execute whip pans with no bouncing while fully zoomed in. With its incredible torque and robust frame, the U50 can support the heaviest box lens camera packages up to 50kg.
Just like the rest of the Mo-Sys broadcast robotics, the U50 can be operated with a variety of input devices such as hand-wheels, pan-bar or joystick.
Combined with the Vinten 750i and the Mo-Sys Vinten Plate, for encoding, operators get the familiar feel and inertia of direct, hands-on operation.
The button-console interface provides controls for pan/tilt velocity adjustment, input smoothing and direction, user defined position limits with feathering and axes zeroing. It simplifies the operation of the head in remote-mode making it ideal for tech-less operation.
Eliminating the need for operators to manually pan and tilt the camera onsite, the U50 enables broadcasters to deliver coverage from positions previously inaccessible due to logistics or safety concerns. Whether following players on a football pitch or trailing F1 cars from trackside positions, the U50 provides camera operators with the stability and precision to control the cameras and big box lenses remotely. Operators can move the camera from the safety and comfort of a control room with flexible and intuitive input devices, like a joystick or pan bar.
Yes, the U50 is built around a 2-axis remote head design. That gives it the pan and tilt control needed for broadcast and sports production.
Yes, the U50 supports encoded operation and can be used as an encoded remote head. It works with the Vinten 750i and Mo-Sys Vinten Plate for familiar, hands-on encoded control.
The U50 supports remote production by letting operators control large cameras from a control room instead of being beside the rig. That can improve safety, access, and flexibility in outside broadcast environments.
Yes, the U50 is specifically built as a remote head for box lens setups and large broadcast camera packages. It is ideal for box lenses in sports broadcast and live events.
Yes, the U50 is built for low latency remote control and responsive motion. That makes it suitable where precise timing and immediate camera response are important.
Yes, the U50 is a sports broadcast robotics solution because it is made for fast, precise, remote coverage of live action. It is especially relevant for football, motorsport, golf and other long-range sports setups.
Yes, the U50 can be used in virtual production remote head workflows where accurate camera movement and encoded data are needed. Its precision and stability help support tracked and data-graphics production environments.
The U50 supports camera packages up to 50kg, making it a heavy payload remote head. Its robust frame and motors are designed for big lens systems and stable long-range work.
The Mo-Sys U50 is a heavy-duty remote head designed for large box lenses and long-range production environments. It is aimed at sports, outside broadcast, live events and other demanding camera applications.
The U50 uses zero-backlash motors and a rigid U-shaped frame to reduce bounce and improve accuracy. That makes it a strong precision camera robotics option for difficult live environments.
