[Proprietary] The Edelkrone Controller V2 is much better than the first version, which dropped out frequently, and required re-initialization of the gimbal. It is better than the iPhone app for both range and ease of control. It turns off (partially) to save the battery, but reactivates without requiring re-pairing. It runs on a pair of AA batteries, for many hours, and doesn't drain the batteries when not in use.

[Proprietary] Nice addition to the setup if you don't want to use your phone

[Proprietary] People far more experienced with measuring color accuracy than me (CineD, Gaffer and Gear) have scored this light surpassing just about any other RGB panel light in the industry. I'm not worthy of having such a light with so many capabilities, functions, and connectivity options, but I wanted to get a light that I could grow into. I love the durability and the color options. I don't have a huge need for effects but the way you can customize the effects are really amazing. Only wish the barn doors would come with this instead of an additional accessory you have to buy. I also wish the light, ballast, and accessories all fit in one single case. That said, I highly recommend this light!

[Proprietary] These lights are absolutely fantastic. Well-built, incredible color rendering, extremely bright. The controller is very intuitive and easy to adjust with several pre-built settings, including gel settings.

If you're questioning whether to buy these or not, just do it! You won't be disappointed.

[Proprietary] There is so much I can say about this light panel, it's incredibly thin, light, and very bright. In one instance for a night shoot I had, I used this light to mimic several cop cars and it looked spectacular when we were looking at the dailies.

Buy Zolar, it's almost criminal to have lights this good and this packed with features to be at this price point. Buy now, you will now regret it.

[Proprietary] So over apps in general. This remote comes in clutch. Very easy to use and most of all reliable. Who has time to waste fiddling with yet another app on set?

[Proprietary] If given the choice between using an app and using a physical remote for motion control products, I'll pick the remote. This Edelkrone remote does exactly what I need it to do.


I primarily use it with my slider and it's easy to set positions and parameters such as speed and easing.
When I have repeating movement in a shoot, I can quickly get up and running through this remote and not have to worry about doing it through an app. The user interface is uncomplicated, though there is a small learning curve.


One thing to note about this remote: it's quite thick. The first product pic doesn't really show the size. It's almost an inch thick! Also, it's made out of metal and weighs about 4 ounces. This remote doesn't feel cheaply made, and you'll definitely know if it's in your pocket or not! In an era of barely-there cheap plastic remotes, the Edelkrone Controller stands out. I just wish it was half as thick. Then again, this feels built to last.


I'd recommend it for anyone with Edelkrone gear who wants a simple controller that feels well built.

[Proprietary] Very easy to use with the FocusPLUS PRO. Trivial to setup and it's fast. It also feels very durable.

[Proprietary] Let me say this is by far the best price I could find the controller and I added the warranty specifically because the first controller died within a year of purchase but HTC refused to warranty controller. Im really pleased with B&H but HTC is another story!

[Proprietary] I purchased the Edelkrone Controller v2 for use with their HeadPlus panning camera mount. I like have a remote camera in a balcony or at the rear of an auditorium for events, where it is impractical to run cables. The original controller (V1?) was ineffective at the usual distance (50+ ft), forcing me to use an iPad or iPhone instead. The v2 maintains control easily at these distances, without raising the device to maintain a direct line-of-sight contact. While it turns off as a power saving measure, it does not require re-pairing when started up again. The v2 can also be used as a wired controller, with extensions up to 50', and for more than one device with and Edelkrone Link Hub.
