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.
* Records camera and motion data and can be exported to virtual set/studio software

* Works with Maya, Kuper, Alias, and other CG software

* Intervalometer feature allows recorded takes to be repeated and lengthened.

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.
