Product Details

Features

More than just a switch with wires, the block is a CNC-machined and powder-coated 6061 aluminum housing with a sealed, high-strength switch and two sealed 2.5mm TRS jacks for connectivity and daisy-chaining.  The entire block is then potted using high-strength resin for long life and reliability in even the harshest of conditions and abuse.  Any number of blocks may be connected to a single input device through the use of the daisy-chained ports.

This single switch can be used for many applications. Attached to the Stage Zero cart and wired to the MX2 it can be used as a limit switch to shut the system down when it reaches the end of the track. It can also be used to trigger stop motion animation allowing the user to tap the button once to take a shot and advance to the next position, or as a remote to start two dollies at the exact same time. For more information on using external switches see the MX2 documentation: Using Remote Inputs.  When connected to the MX2 on the Ext 1 port, the switch shows up as I/O line #1.

How to use it

We are now an official SCYO dolly distributor - Timelapse equipment from South Africa

Submitted by andre on Sun, 06/08/2014 - 00:17

ElysiaVisuals is now an official SCYO - Timelapse SA distributor. Their SCYO (Create Your Own Dolly) is an extremely versatile dolly that can be fitted with DC motors or with stepper motors. You can use the MX2, MX3 or our own RamperPro controller to control this dolly. The RamperPro can be extended with a stepper motor controller from ElysiaVisuals to make it all happen.

Introducing the ElysiaVisuals timelapse device isolator

Submitted by andre on Sun, 10/20/2013 - 23:26

You can use a lot of equipment when you are making timelapse movies with motion control. We have a lot of this equipment available in our online store. But what to do when you want to connect your devices? For example how can you connect an MX2, MX3 to an eMotimo? We had the same questions when we implemented the integration between our (soon) upcoming exposure ramper with the MX3 and TB3.

Submitted by andre on Sun, 07/21/2013 - 23:24

We have been experimenting with Dragon Frame for a while now. Dragon Frame is a great piece of software that you can use to control stepper motor based motion control hardware. We were particularly interested in using Dragon Frame for complex multi axis moves with the Dynamic Perception Stage One slider combined with the eMotimo TB3 black pan and tilt head.

Dynamic Perception Stage One Limit Switch Stops announced

Submitted by andre on Mon, 10/08/2012 - 21:35

Dynamic Perception had announced Limit Switch Stops that make it possible to easily attach the Dynamic Perception Limit Switch Kit to your Stage One slider. The cart of the Stage One already had mounting holes for the attachment of the multi function (limit) switches, but there were no stoppers available similar to the ones that you can use with the Stage Zero dolly. We fixed this at ElysiaVisuals by providing our own stoppers which are a big version of the ones that you use for the Stage Zero.
