Slidekamera - 'Heavy BullHead'
NO CompromisesThe Heavy Bullhead is a 2D remote head from Slidekamera. Designed for demanding applications thanks to its reinforced construction, it has a max payload of up to 20kg, to carry fully equipped, heavy broadcast and cinema cameras. It's ideal for creating special effects where repetitive and accurate movement is essential. Capable of being used as a standalone device it also works perfectly with Slidekameras Atlas modular slider to provide a unified 3D motion control system.
Extreme Precision
Motion Control SetIts reinforced construction and perfectly crafted machinery make HEAVY BULLHEAD extremely precise. It's ideal for creating special effects where repetitive and accurate movement is essential.
The head can be used as a standalone device, mounted on a tripod or any other support. But in motion it shows its best.
HEAVY BULLHEAD works perfectly as a remote head for cranes and sliders. Together with the ATLAS MODULAR slider, it creates an unified 3D motion control system.
Heavy Duty LEMO Connectors
High Quality ConnectorsThe new lineup of Slidekamera devices uses heavy-duty LEMO connectors. The new design includes power and data connections in one cable, which allows you to work faster and safer - without tangling the unnecessary wires. the connectors are compatible with a wide range of AC adaptors, form small chargers for one device to large power bricks with communication modules designed for big setups.
Unified Head Mount
Easy Mounting with Slidekamera heavy slidersThe Heavy Bullhead is equipped with Slidekamera's unified head mount, compatible with their heavy sliders (the TITAN slider and ATLAS Modular), as well as their jibs and tripods. This ensures that the head is mounted firmly and allows to attach the unit safely in an upside-down configuration.
Compatible Lens Control System Support
Lens Control SystemEach camera setup is different. Slidekamera offers three different Lens Control Systems for their remote heads to allow you to control your lenses in many different ways.
PDMovieSlidekamera's first integration with lens motors. Affordable and reliable PDMOVIE lens motors are a perfect match for the motion control system. The PDMOVIE LCS system allows you daisy-chain up to three motors and to control your focus, zoom, and iris in full sync with all other axes in your Slidekamera rig.
Tilta Nucleus-MThe TILTA Nucleus-M system is a brand established on the market. If you're working with cine cameras, you probably already have a set of those, or at least you have worked with them before. They're precise and bulletproof. And compatible with Slidekamera's TILTA LCS system. You can directly plug the motors to the head and work with them using SK controllers or third-party software (Kairos, Slideye 2.0, Dragonframe, Polymotion, etc.). And if you like using your Tilta FIZ unit, you can keep using it, and the Slidekamera controllers will be able to keyframe all the values you set, e.g. on the focus knob. It's a perfect solution for bigger teams with professional focus pullers on set.
Broadcast LensesSlidekamera's new multi-system LCS allows using both PDMOVIE and TILTA systems. All you need is to plug an appropriate conversion cable (sold separately).
But its main feature is to use broadcast lenses with integrated servo motors. You can use both Fujinon and Canon lenses. The system will automatically calibrate the servos and allow you to operate focus, zoom, and iris using the Kairos panel or compatible software. In addition, you can keyframe all lens axes and play them back in sync with all Slidekamera devices.
All you to work with a selected lens system is an additional converter cable, which allows proper connection and detection with a single, universal socket on the head.
Optional AION 2D controller• Simple and lightweight
• Up to two axes (head only)
• Intuitive control with a joystick
• Adjustable speed and acceleration
• 3 memory banks to store and playback motion path
Optional Kairos Controller• Up to 6 axes
• Support for lens drives
• Dedicated inputs (knobs, joysticks) for all axes
• Adjustable speed and acceleration
• 8 memory banks to store and playback positions and motion paths
• Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection (requires devices with Slidelink v3.0)
• Frequent firmware upgrades - futureproof
SlideLink V3.0With an optional network module (Slidelink 3.0) you can use Ethernet or Wi-Fi to connect a group of motion control devices with the controller (that may be the Kairos controller, a PC with a Dragonframe software or the Slidekamera's Slideeye 2.0 app).
You need only one Slidelink V3.0 for your set. Slidekamera recommends using the one integrated into the PSU320E Power Adapter, as it gives you the cleanest and neatest wire connection. But for specific use cases, such as remote setups on large distances or using the head with a separate controller for the second operator, you may consider an additional network adapter for your head.
