MB Magic Head

Description

The MagicHead is a simple but robust 2-axis digital remote head. Its ‘modular’ design and rigid construction make the head very stable and it delivers a performance usually only seen in a much more expensive Remote Heads.

Each axis has a unique ‘dual motor’ drive system which eliminates any backlash or play in the drive gears and gives the head a very smooth change in direction. The digital electronics constantly monitor the heads position eliminating any drift and making the head very accurate, even after long periods of continuous use. Because of the Magic Head’s unique design, it is both quick and easy to balance, reducing its set up time.
