Over the weekend, Edelkrone announced a new controller that they promised will be “the simplest & fastest way to control your edelkrone wirelessly.” It’s a remote control that works with all of Edelkrone’s motorized gear, including sliders, dollies, heads and jibs.
The Edelkrone Controller aptly named ‘Controller’ was quietly announced without any sort of fanfare or press release and its targeted at users who either don’t have or don’t want to use a smartphone app to control their motorized Edelkrone gear.
Here’s a video introducing the controller;
The remote works via two AAA batteries to provide 4.5 hours of “non-stop use” from up to 82ft (25 m) away. It’s made from CNC machined aluminum for durability, features quick wireless pairing with all of Edelkrone’s motorized devices, and boasts all sorts of useful features like the ability to program movements by hand-control, time-lapse programming, and key pose recording. The company is also planning to use future firmware updates to add precise motion control using the Controller as a guide. The Controller is available now for $130 on the company’s website.
