Dedicated PTZ camera or robotic head
An all-in-one PTZ camera is a straightforward and often wise choice. Una testa robotizzata diventa più efficiente quando serve mantenere qualità camera e costruire il setup per step.
PTZ all-in-one
✔️ Ready to use
✔️ Constrained optics
✔️ Designed for studying
Camera + robotic head
✔️ Reuse the existing camera
✔️ Maintain performance and optics
✔️ Grow step by step
The choice depends on your workflow and equipment, not just your budget: that’s why our recommended setups are based on specific use cases.
Setup components
The system is built around a pan-tilt head, control, and operational integration. The goal is to create manageable movements and presets that can be quickly recalled, with settings suitable for both studio and live use. From here, advanced modules are added only when they’re truly needed.
Pan-tilt head
Control
Integration in production
Easy to get started, faster control, and the ability to upgrade your studio as your workflow grows.
Suggested Setups
Each setup starts with the pan-tilt head and is completed with controls and modules. The choice between the Pauli and the Paulinho depends on the camera, lens, attached accessories, and the rig’s total weight. To avoid compatibility issues, the proposal is validated through a technical review.
Pauli
Pauli is a robotic pan-tilt head designed for sets where stability, repeatability, and operational flexibility are key. It’s the most natural choice when the camera is used continuously in a studio setting, with callable presets and “control room” management. Pauli B is the variant designed for specific configurations, useful when installation or integration requirements differ from those of the standard version. To determine the correct version, we need just a few details: camera model, lens, accessories (monitor, battery plate, follow focus), whether it’s for studio or live use, and the number of presets required. When dealing with complex rigs, the overall weight and the type of support influence the choice.
Paulinho
Paulinho is the most compact robotic pan-tilt head, ideal for smaller sets and lighter rigs, without sacrificing presets or remote control. It is recommended when you need to bring a reliable PTZ control system into the studio while maintaining the camera’s hybrid functionality even off-set. Paulinho B is the version designed for specific configurations, useful when mounting constraints or integration requirements change. The choice between the Paulinho and the Pauli isn’t about “price range,” but rather about specs and intended use: camera body, lens, accessories, and operating mode. A quick check prevents oversizing or, conversely, setups that are too tight.
RoboStick
RoboStick is a controller that reduces operational friction when presets are frequent and control needs to be more “director-like.” In practice, this is useful when control needs to be straightforward: quick access, smoother movements, and more immediate control during live performances, training sessions, or productions with tight deadlines. It is particularly useful in multi-camera setups, where repeatability and speed of operation become a real advantage. RoboStick makes sense when the goal isn’t just to “move the camera every now and then,” but to manage a shoot with a systematic approach: presets, quick adjustments, shot changes, and consistency across takes.
PTZ Raise Lift
PTZ Raise Lift is the studio module that helps make the setup more stable and repeatable over time, especially when the camera remains in position or is frequently repositioned using the same method. This is useful when you need a more “installation-oriented” setup without turning the set into a rigid system: setup and positioning become more consistent, with fewer reassemblies and less variability between sessions. This makes sense in contexts where consistency and precision are important, such as corporate settings, training, and content creators who record on a regular basis. It’s the kind of module that doesn’t “make a splash,” but improves operational performance.
Move Dolly
Move Dolly is the module to consider when axis movement isn't a one-off effect but a recurring part of the format. It helps create more controlled and reproducible motion, with consistent movements across takes and a more streamlined workflow in production. It is ideal for sophisticated productions, sets that film frequently, and content where movement serves as a visual signature rather than a mere extra. If the motion is sporadic, it's often not worth the hassle. If, on the other hand, the motion is actually integrated into the production workflow, then the module acts as a catalyst because it standardizes a process that would otherwise require trial and error and manual adjustments each time.
Zanus modules and their role in the setup
Studio Start
Ideal for: 1-bedroom apartment, compact studio, basic furnishings
Porta controllo e ripetibilità senza complicare il workflow
*The difference between Pauli and Paulinho depends on the camera, rig, and intended use
Studio Control
Ideal for: frequent presets, more “control room”-style management, live performances, or training
*Dedicated monitoring reduces time and operational friction
Studio Pro
Ideal for: continuous use, more structured setups, modular systems
*Improves the system’s operational stability and scalability
Motion
Ideal for: advanced production, axis movement as part of the format
*This is relevant when the motion is recurring, not occasional
Compatibility and verification
Only a few technical details are needed to determine the correct configuration. This section explains what to check and what to include in the request.
Operational FAQs
Compatible camera
The choice between Pauli and Paulinho depends on the camera, lens, attached accessories, and intended use. For complex rigs, the total weight and the type of support required are also important factors.
Control and direction
The control varies depending on the workflow: required presets, frequency of use, and context (studio or live). Based on these factors, a decision is made regarding whether to integrate a dedicated controller and how to manage operations in the control room.
Installation and balancing
The result depends on the correct assembly and balancing of the rig. Accessories such as monitors, battery plates, follow focuses, and brackets may affect the recommended configuration.
Single-camera vs. multi-camera
In a multi-camera setup, the value of presets and controls increases because they reduce time and variability. With a single-lens camera, the goal is operational stability: consistent framing and quick handling.
