Features that will separate you from the crowd
Automatic Target Tracking
HeadPLUS can learn 3 different targets, can keep any of them in the frame and focus on them even when it's moving on edelkrone sliders and dollies. With this automatic feature, you can achieve elegant parallax shots without spending any time programming the system.
Live Target Switching
You can make a smooth transition between any of the 3 preset targets by just selecting any of them. During each transition, HeadPLUS elegantly frames the new target, focuses on it and keeps it in the frame & focus as the camera moves.
Instant Target Learning
If you add Laser Module to HeadPLUS, you can teach the position of any stationary target to the system instantly. Just aim on the target and press OK. The camera will instantly frame and focus on the target.
Can be hand-controlled
You can manually adjust the pan and tilt angle of the HeadPLUS. This way, instead of using a remote control, you can, in fact, program your camera motions with your hands. This gives an unprecedented speed to your workflow, and makes the whole process much more intuitive.
Fits in a camera bag
Despite its unprecedented features, HeadPLUS (with all of its accessories) fits in a regular size camera bag. With its unique unfolding body design, HeadPLUS can be straightened so that it fits your bag much more efficiently.
Dragonframe integration for advanced stop motion
HeadPLUS can be controlled with Dragonframe animation software through any PC (Windows/Linux) or Mac. (Stop Motion Module required.) Remember that even without Stop Motion Module and Dragonframe software, you can still create amazing animations just by using the edelkrone App. However, if you want to step up your game, we recommend using Dragonframe.

Add Focus Module to automate your focus
Focus Module is a motorized focusing add-on for HeadPLUS. When used with a slider or dolly, it can deliver auto-focusing feature as you get closer to or further away from your locked targets. Focus Module can also work in keypose mode where you can assign different focus adjustment on different keypose buttons and recall them when needed.

Add Laser Module to speed up target teaching
Laser Module is a laser meter designed for HeadPLUS. Laser Module enables instant distance measurement and makes it super quick for HeadPLUS to lock on stationary subjects. It is a very useful add-on especially when you are using HeadPLUS on an edelkrone motorized Slider or Dolly.
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.
Super easy Motion 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 efects to your time-lapses which bend the speed of time and speed of camera motion independently of each other. Such advanced and unique features have never come together with such simplicity prior to the edelkrone App.

Smooth
So far the head plus has been super smooth for me and easy to calibrate the balance. I also love the ease of spinning the bottom to attach to my slider or tripod instead of spinning the whole unit. Great design
