This is a 1-axis bundle perfect for adding on to a Kessler slider for dynamic motion controlled slides.

Second Shooter™ is a revolutionary motion control system that boasts a sleek and compact design, feature-rich operation and an incredibly intuitive user interface. Featuring 100% repeatable motion control for live-mode, looping, time-lapse and stop-motion applications.

Unlike stepper motor based moco systems on the market today, Second Shooter™ receives feedback communication from digital-encoded motors in determining motor positions to ensure precise control. Second Shooter™ provides users with ultra-smooth and quiet motion control, making it an outstanding companion on any job.

Second Shooter™ is motion control for the masses. An affordable and comprehensive solution that will meet the needs of large production houses and one-man-bands alike. With the ability to set up and operate quickly, it can be deployed in run-and-gun environments just as easy as it can be used in dramatic astro-timelapses.

Don’t settle for anything less than your best - put a Second Shooter™ to work for you today.

Specifications

3-Axis Control

Each unit is capable of controlling up to 3 axes: Slide, Pan & Tilt.

3 Speed/Torque Options

Easily switch the motor speed/torque (power) for the Slider motor via the quick-change pulley system. (3 options for CineSlider, Philip Bloom and Stealth) (2 options for Pocket Dolly v2.0, Shuttle Pod & Shuttle Pod Mini)

Keyframeable Positions

Since Second Shooter is a digital system (like CineDrive), all you need to do is mark your keyframes. There is no need to record your move.

Built-in Intervalometer

Trigger your camera in time-lapse or stop-motion modes with the built-in intervalometer located on the controller.

Built-in Flashlight

Easily turn an LED light on at anytime.

CANbus Connection

A CANbus connection is provided for future expansion or add-on devices (ex: more axes, i/o ports, joystick controller, etc.)

Compact Design

Second Shooter's small footprint allows it to fit nicely into existing camera bags and eliminates the need for additional cases. Separate the Pan from the Tilt axis to use independently or for easier travel. Every piece is modular.

Micro USB Port

No need to send your system in for firmware upgrades. With the Micro USB port, you can now easily upgrade firmware.

Bubble Level

Recessed bullseye level installed in the Pan axis.

Magnalink™ Connection

Store the Second Shooter controller on the slider motor or other mounting accessories using the recessed magnets for a clean setup.

We’ve stopped producing TB3s and the ones we have in stock are running out quickly. It has been an incredible product but it’s time for us to focus our energies on something new. Before we talk about what happens next, we’d like to talk about where the TB3 has been and what made it successful enough to disrupt an industry.
