SKAARHOJ PTZ Fly compact PTZ camera controller with Hall Effect joystick

SKAARHOJ PTZ Fly with Hall Effect Joystick

SKAARHOJ PTZ Fly is a compact universal controller for PTZ cameras and more. It controls multiple cameras at the same time, from Panasonic, Sony, Canon, BirdDog and other leading brands, and also integrates with SKAARHOJ's growing library of devices, such as recorders, routers and network switches. Its small size suits compact live production setups, mobile productions, lecture halls, houses of worship, corporate events and education.

The six SKAARHOJ four-way buttons have four independent trigger zones each, so one button can navigate between pages of devices and parameters or carry a different action on each edge; every button and encoder has its own OLED display showing what it does. For devices not yet in the SKAARHOJ library, Raw Panel mode allows user-written integrations (for example with Q-SYS). Every button, encoder and the joystick can be customised in the Reactor web UI, with changes reflected immediately on the panel.

This version has a 3-axis precision Hall Effect joystick. A Hall Effect joystick uses magnetic sensors to detect movement without physical contact, which reduces wear and gives smoother, more accurate pan, tilt and zoom control.
