Vinten showcase mini AutoCam robotic pan and tilt head

Originally debuted at NAB earlier this year, the new AutoCam HS-100P pan and tilt head and BCS controller was showcased by Vinten at IBC 2002.
A welcome addition to the existing AutoCam robotics range, the HS-100P provides precise broadcast quality movement for today’s ultra lightweight cameras and lenses.
Simple to install and intuitive to use, the HS-100P and BCS controllers are ideally suited to a wide variety of applications including videoconferencing, distance learning, remote precision surveillance and legislative applications.
With a pan range of 300° and tilt range of ±95°, the HS-100P is ideal for open or restricted situations. Weighing only 2kg (4.4lb) and measuring 125mm (w) x 96mm (D) x 215mm (H), the HS-100P allows lightweight cameras to be installed in a variety of remote positions.
There are two BCS controllers available that provide pan, tilt, zoom, focus and iris control for one, (BCS-100), or up to four, (BCS-400), HS-100P heads with a maximum storage and recall capacity of 32 shots (8 shots per camera). The HS-100P can also work alongside other AutoCam pan and tilt heads – and up to 32 cameras can be controlled by the HCS-125 combined touchscreen and joystick controller.
Designed to be discreet, this head allows the camera to capture the type of pictures unachievable with much larger robotic heads.
