Built from the ground up, our GUI and iOS app enable seamless data transfer between users, with Preston mappings transferable directly through the app.

Compatible with ARRI LBUS, the system features Ethernet for full camera control and live data streaming, alongside  Wi-Fi and sub-GHz wireless transmission. A remote Magic Box provides wireless camera and iris control.

An integrated IMU measures pan, tilt, and roll, delivering accurate camera movement data. Despite its extensive capabilities, the unit remains compact at 96 × 80 × 29 mm and weighs just 275 g.
