HeadPLUS v3
Description
The edelkrone HeadPLUS v3 is a precision motorized pan and tilt camera head engineered for filmmakers and content creators who demand smooth, repeatable motion with intelligent automation. At its core, it delivers ultra-precise pan and tilt control via app, on-device input, or hand-guided setup - making complex camera moves accessible and consistent on every take.
What sets HeadPLUS apart is its edelkrone-exclusive Point Tracking technology, which locks the camera onto a fixed point in 3D space while the camera body moves - producing dynamic parallax shots with perfect subject framing. It connects wirelessly to the broader edelkrone ecosystem of sliders, jibs, and dollies, and is fully expandable with optional Focus/Zoom, Vision, and Laser Modules for lens control, face tracking, live video, and faster point teaching.
Key Features
- Ultra-Precise Pan & Tilt Motion: Delivers silky-smooth, repeatable pan and tilt moves - ideal for time-lapse, stop motion, VFX, and scripted narrative shots.
- Point Tracking: Locks and tracks a point in 3D space while the camera moves, keeping subjects perfectly framed through dynamic parallax moves.
- Wireless Ecosystem Integration: Pairs wirelessly with edelkrone sliders, jibs, and dollies for synchronized multi-axis motion control.

Why You'll Love It
The HeadPLUS v3 is trusted by cinematographers, commercial videographers, and creative studios who need professional-grade motion control without sacrificing portability or speed of setup. Its ability to lock onto a subject and maintain perfect framing while the camera travels through a shot is a capability that used to require far larger and more expensive rigs. Whether you're shooting a solo run-and-gun documentary, a polished product video, or a multi-axis cinematic sequence, HeadPLUS adapts to the scale of your production.
Because it lives at the center of the edelkrone motion ecosystem, the HeadPLUS v3 only becomes more powerful as your kit grows - add a slider for lateral moves, a jib for sweeping arcs, or a dolly for full floor-tracked sequences, and HeadPLUS coordinates everything wirelessly. Backed by edelkrone's 30-day money-back guarantee and free worldwide shipping, it's a confident investment in a motion control system built to grow with your work.
FAQ
What is Point Tracking and how does it work?
Point Tracking is an edelkrone-exclusive feature that lets the HeadPLUS v3 lock onto a specific point in 3D space. As your camera moves along a slider, jib, or dolly, the head automatically pans and tilts to keep that point perfectly centered in frame. This creates dynamic parallax shots - where the background shifts naturally while your subject stays locked - without any manual adjustments during the move.
Can I use the HeadPLUS v3 on its own, or do I need other edelkrone gear?
The HeadPLUS v3 is fully functional as a standalone motorized pan and tilt head. You can mount it on any standard tripod and use it for automated pan and tilt moves, time-lapse, stop motion, and hand-guided shots entirely on its own. Pairing it with edelkrone sliders, jibs, or dollies unlocks multi-axis moves and Point Tracking, but those are optional expansions - not requirements.
What modules are compatible with the HeadPLUS v3?
The HeadPLUS v3 is compatible with the Focus/Zoom Module (automated lens control for mechanical lenses), the Vision Module (face tracking and live video to the app), and the Laser Module (faster point teaching). It also supports the Roll Axis Add-on for an additional roll axis. Note that the Roll Axis Add-on cannot be used at the same time as the Focus/Zoom, Vision, or Laser Modules.
What is the difference between HeadPLUS v3 and HeadPLUS PRO v3?
The HeadPLUS v3 is designed for stripped-down, lightweight setups and is the focus-ready pan and tilt option for most camera rigs. The HeadPLUS PRO v3 is a heavy-duty version built for professional rigs carrying heavier cinema cameras, offering greater payload capacity and durability for larger productions. Both share the same ecosystem compatibility and module support.
How is the HeadPLUS v3 powered?
The HeadPLUS v3 includes a Sony NP-F battery bracket, so it uses widely available Sony NP-F series batteries (not included). For larger multi-device setups, edelkrone also offers an optional Power Module for V-Mount or Gold-Mount batteries that can distribute power across your entire edelkrone bundle from a single battery source.
Does the HeadPLUS v3 support time-lapse and stop motion shooting?
Yes - the HeadPLUS v3 has built-in support for time-lapse and stop motion workflows. To trigger your camera's shutter automatically during these modes, you'll need a compatible shutter cable (sold separately - edelkrone provides a finder tool to identify the correct cable for your camera model).
