Exclusive edelkrone features

Automatic Target Tracking & Live Target Switching

HeadPLUS v2 has the ability to learn three different stationary targets. When transitioning between targets, HeadPLUS v2 keeps each target in frame and in focus even when operating on SliderPLUS, SliderONE, JibONE, and DollyONE and DollyPLUS.

You can make a live, smooth transition among any of the three preset targets by selecting your desired target through the App.

Sequencer Feature

With Sequencer feature, you can chain multiple poses one after another to create complex camera motion. Transition speed between each pose is independently adjustable. You can also make the system loop back and forth in any given order.

Can be Hand-controlled

Instead of relying on a remote control, manually adjust the pan & tilt angle of HeadPLUS v2 and program your camera motion with just your hands! This gives an unprecedented speed to your workflow and makes the entire process much more intuitive.

HeadPLUS v2 10 lb (4.5 kg)

HeadPLUS v2 PRO 20 lb (9 kg)

Connects wirelessly to edelkrone Sliders, Jibs & Dollies

When HeadPLUS v2 is combined with a slider, jib or dolly, you can easily program 3-, or 4-axis camera motions. You can record never-before-seen, amazing motion time-lapses and visual effects shots with any combination you choose. The devices pair instantly in the background while using the same App or Controller to control all devices together.

Sliders Motorized sliders with their unique design approach and portability: SliderPLUS and SliderONE

Jibs Motorized jibs that do it all and capture vertical, horizontal and diagonal camera motion in seconds: JibONE

Dollies Motorized rail-less dollies to create linear or curved camera motions: DollyONE and DollyPLUS

Super easy time-lapse programming

Setting up a motion time-lapse is the easiest with edelkrone App. In your time-lapse videos, you can have a simple transition between two keyposes or you can convert a recorded complex camera motion into a time-lapse with a single button. You can use edelkrone’s unique Dynamic Interval and Dynamic Step Size Technologies to introduce never-before-seen effects to your time-lapses which bend the speed of time and speed of camera motion independently of each other.

Single App to control all

edelkrone App cleverly scans the available devices in its surroundings and pairs with them automatically, giving you a single screen to control all devices together.

The interface is extremely simple.

Use the controls on the top part of the App screen to set the pose of your camera. Press and hold on any of the keypose buttons to record that pose. Use the same button to recall that pose. It’s that simple. Press 2 keyposes to put the system in loop between both keyposes.

You can adjust the speed and acceleration of the transition between keyposes. Or, you can easily create time-lapse videos by using the same keyposes.

App Details.pdf

The app shows you this control screen when there is only one motorised HeadPLUS discovered around. The App gives you this 3 axis control screen including the focus adjustment.

When you combine your HeadPLUS with a slider the App gives you this 4 axis control screen including the focus adjustment. Notice the Target Mode button also becomes available at the bottom for smart target tracking.

When you combine your HeadPLUS with a Dolly, the App gives you this 5-axis control screen including the focus adjustment. Notice the Target Mode button also becomes available at the bottom for smart target tracking.

After you complete recording a motion, this is the screen which lets you replay the motion recorded. You can also convert it in to a time-lapse or stop-motion via this screen.

This is the time-lapse screen. First, enter your Record Time & Play Time and your FPS settings. Next, set the same shutter speed with your camera in the app & set the interval. Lastly, select the starting and ending keyposes. This way you will achieve a nice motion time-lapse video transitioning between both keyposes.

When you setup your time-lapse, instead of entering a static interval, you can enter a dynamic interval with the help of this graphic. So, you can have an alternating speed of time in your time-lapse video. This feature will not affect the speed of your camera motion. If you start a time-lapse while you are in Target Mode, you will be able to select targets.

When Ramping is on, you can alter the speed of your camera motion throughout your time-lapse video. This graphic helps you adjust the speed of your motion easily.

Not easy to set up or screw into slider. But good otherwise

I like it. However, the major issue I had was connecting it to the slider pro. Because the slider pro’s “Screw” on the base recedes, it makes it very difficult to screw on. And it appears I’m going to have replace the headplus pro’s connecting screw base receptor - due to possibly stripping it. It’s more difficult than it would appear. Be warned! The written instructions don’t share how this can be problematic - nor does the video instruction. Besides that, there’s definitely a learning curve to set it up and learn to balance. Especially if you’re using a bigger camera than a dslr. And with primes. There appears to be no efficient way to balance when changing lenses once on a tripod or base. Once you get it all balanced and connected to the app, it’s amazing! Very impressed with it and stoked to have this in my arsenal of gear. It’s just not perfect, but it’s superb for the price.

Tracking motor too slow

The vision module/Head plus II has potential but the tracking is VERY slow, no human being is that slow. (Yes all the settings were set to the fastest setting, tracking responsiveness, motor speed, accel-decel ) We have to move in super slow motion for it not to lose us Secondly, there should be a STOP button on the app to stop the camera from moving on its own unexpectedly when the shot is done.

Incredible product

As someone who appreciates quality, Edelkrone continues to wow me with their incredible products. After buying one of their follow focus devices, I traded in a slider from another manufacturer for an Edelkrone. I added the HeadPLUS v2 to further automate my kit and it is solid, functional and beautifully made. As my budget will permit, I’ll be adding the vision module and already have a couple of clients who are anxious for me to do that. As a photographer/videographer with 50+ years experience, this is some of the finest equipment I have owned.

More than worth it!

This is definitely worth the upgrade from the V2 non pro version. It’s a bit bigger and heavier but also a lot smoother when you have weight on it. It still pairs great with all of the other Edelkrone gear. The extra room comes in handy and makes balancing a variety of cameras easy. It gives you a peace of mind not having to worry about the weight you have and if it’s getting close to the top end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and if you have a chance to get the pro version definitely do so. I also have the bag that also holds my JibOne and other gear with no problem.

Great Improvement but….

Great improvement but it removes the focus port and doesn’t allow any way to use your legacy focus module with it so be prepared to buy a new focus module. I would hope they modularity was still considered with newer units unless a complete redesign was done they prevented an extra port from being added or at least a multi port that would take some legacy items.
