VariZoom - CinemaPro


VariZoom is proud to introduce the Cinema Pro master motion control system! The Cinema Pro represents the culmination of design and manufacturing efforts from award-winning motion picture engineers with unparalleled experience in electronics, mechanicals and software. The Cinema Pro is in a class all its own and was the choice of IndyCar for race event acquisition at the Indianapolis Speedway for its speed and stability. This highly sophisticated yet simple-to-operate system outperforms the competition at less than 1/3 the price and works with a huge range of film and video cameras. The Cinema Pro is the ultimate in affordable motion picture heads, with superb mechanical stability and frame-accurate, recordable 5-channel control for absolutely precise repeatable motion control sequences.




The Cinema Pro is precision-made yet rugged and becoming the logical and affordable choice for a much broader scope of users than any head on the market. Cost effective not only for big budget motion pictures, but for worship facilities, sports, concerts, newsrooms, military, government, and other film, video, and HD applications.

Below see one of eight Cinema Pros in action at the Indianapolis 500 raceway. Four heads mounted inside and four outside the track are controlled from more than a mile away with the Pan Bars system.

CinemaPro Jibstick Remote - The Advanced Controller, aka 'Full Function Remote,' is the brains of the system that contains all the parametric motion control and recording capabilities, as well as an LCD readout, connector panel, pan/tilt joystick, and zoom/focus controls. The Advanced Controller can be used stand-alone for desktop/tripod operations or paired with optional Control Input Units.
- The Optional Pan-bars and Hand-wheels Control Input Units must be used in conjunction with the Advanced Controller.
- The Jibstick is a 'dumbed-down' stand-alone pan/tilt joystick control (w/ 'smoothing' adjustment) for use on jibs and cranes.

Available only through select VariZoom Dealers.
