eMotimo TB3 - in both Black and Orange

TB3, stands for "The Box", 3-Axis.   It is the next evolution of the eMotimo Pan and Tilt motion control heads.   The TB3 is a milled aluminum head with new geometry.  It is strong, lightweight, and it puts the pan-axis nearly on-node with most cameras to turn a heavier setup.  You may easily add an additional stepper motor to the powered AUX Step port on the side of the TB3 to get 3 axis moves.   Additionally, we have a configurable I/O port that allows us to talk to 3rd party solutions.

Here are a few quotes from users:

-Gunther from LRTimelapse reviews the TB3 off and on a dolly  "eMotimo TB3, a great 2 axis head for time lapse photography and video, even capable to control a 3rd axis"

-Ron Risman - Cameratown.com  "The eMotimo TB3 will easily save you at least $1000 over other professional quality pan & tilt heads designed for motion controlled time-lapse or video applications. It is extremely simple to operate, quick to set up, and compact enough to take anywhere you desire."


 - "Those changes you made makes it much more versatile and you can now even do proper panorama capture with it as well because of the attachment plate. :)"

 - "The wireless remote is genius. :) "

 - "The thing looks and feels great, have been showing in off like my new born"

 - “i had to chuckle at how incredibly intuitive it was.  my favorite aspect is undoubtedly the sound it makes. too cool.”

  • Auxiliary, 3rd powered stepper output to drive another motor.   We integrate well to many popular dollys and sliders.   Three axis repeatable motion is here!
  • Supports point A to point B, moving time-lapse shots with a shoot-move-shoot (SMS) sequence or shoot smooth continuous video
  • Ridiculously easy setup.  Set up a repeatable 3 axis moves in just a few minutes.
  • Shoot Move Shoot (SMS) intervals of 0.4 to 999.9 sec (.1 sec resolution) or Video setting for continuous motion
  • HDR shooting supported for most DSLRs
  • Programmable Ramping to allow for smooth and natural looking starts and stops
  • Shot durations of 1 minute to 99 hours
  • Built in intervalometer to trigger most DSLRs
  • Repeatable stepper motors with low-backlash gearing.  This allows for effects shots like this or this.
  • Arduino microcontrollers as the brains. Open source and upgradeable firmware - eMotimo TB3 can be hacked and will grow!
