The NEW Autopod V2 is a continuation of the Polecam ethos of providing a “platform” which is a remotely operated programmable telescopic elevation unit for use with Rigs, Cranes, PTZ, Remote heads, Cameras, Teleprompters, Speakers and more…. 

The double unit with a lifting capacity of 25kg (55lbs) over a range from 110cm to 250cm (43” to 98”) operates simultaneously and can be used as a standalone system on a stage, in a studio, behind a goal, conference venue, or remote location such as a golf course to provide an unobtrusive camera position – great for the spectators whilst not interfering with the artistes, players action, presenters or the sequence being shot. 

The double elevation system is supplied with its own lightweight adjustable base ensuring ease of deployment in many situations and applications. New to the system is the “V” quick connect mounts which also incorporate the newly introduced robust XLR sockets for power and data connections 

Mounting a camera securely is achieved using the included 1/4” captive camera screw in the new “V” connect mounting top plate; or using the optional “T” bar, ideal for mounting multiple PTZ’s for both forward and backward facing 

In addition, it is strongly recommended that the circular heavy duty wheeled steel base (Part #ATP-150) is used for additional stability. It is possible to use just one elevation unit; this lowers the operational height to just 55cm, extending to 125cm (21” to 49”) with an improved payload of 35kg (77lbs).
