The TelePod is a motorized elevating tripod designed to be used in a field enivronment or studio where a small foot print, quick setup and transportability are important criteria. The TelePod consists of a motorized column with a Tripod/Floor mounting plate. The motorized column has a range of 26 inches (66cm) with smooth and quiet operation. The TelePod is controlled by the CP-ITV3 Control Panel when interfaced with Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Focus Cameras. It also interfaces with the complete Telemetrics Robotic Product Line. A manual up/down switch is also available for basic operation.
