[32 x 24.5 x 17"] This is a great unit and simple to operate. Touch screen controls and assignable controls make programming and on the fly operation a breeze. 100 presets guarantee that there will be plenty of pre set views for any show that you intend on streaming or broadcasting.

[Yes] So far for the last few days that I've had a chance to play around with this controller, I feel that all my controls are at my fingertips and not hidden away in menus like their other controller. Having focus control right at your fingertips and color correction is how it should've been right from the start. The speed control pods for the focus, zoom, pan and tilt are critical to work smoothly and fast. Also, using the monitor to pick your focus point right on the controller is a big help. I was able to achieve this on the old controller using an iPad with a webpage but this makes my set up way easier. Being able to use this controller as a CCU for other canon cameras is a smart decision on cannons part and helped solidify the decision to buy this unit for myself because of that reason.

[32 x 24.5 x 17"] This bag is perfect! Fits the cameras, cords, and board. Easy to transport, keeps equipment safe. And not too bulky to travel with.

[32 x 24.5 x 17"] The Sony RM-IP500/1 is a fantastic controller. It works really smoothly.

[Yes] These controllers are simple to use. You don't need to be a video expert to connect and control your Canon cameras.

[Yes] They got it right with this.


As a user of the RC-IP100 I found it a bit basic but functional, but this new one takes it to a whole other level.


Every control area now has dedicated knob for speed control on the fly, the feedback with the lit buttons for what is live and on preview is much clearer than the touchscreen of the 100 (Small red line)


The Joystick has a button on top which makes it great for a quick AF and the design of the joystick is more comfortable.


Touchscreen is much easier to read and faster. Shows the model number of each camera when you punch it up and the associated configuration. 300/500/700 were MUCH easier to add and configure quickly.


The HDMI out pulls the IP stream of each attached camera and display it on the attached monitor you hook to it. It is the streaming feed so a bit pixelated but it may just be I need to configure it more. we use dedicated multiview in 4K but this is a handy feature.


Larger GPIO to take advantage of more of the functionality compared to the small number on the 100 - If the 1000 could activate the REC light on XF-605's for tally this would be a welcomed update.


POWER options- if you use POE to power it, either the touchscreen or a couple of the features are limited. It does not come with the 4 Pin power supply, so if you want no limits functionality add a 4 Pin 12v power supply. It does not come with it.


One of my big questions was if I hook up both the 1000 and the 100 will they fight. And they are fully compatible being able to adjust cameras at the same time and even use the joystick and they are seamless. We can pas off cameras between them and adjust on the fly.


I wanted to add this review because we managed to get one right away, and we are so impressed with it so far. Our choice to go all Canon over the competition has alot of people jealous when we roll in.


If I can add to this later we will.

[32 x 24.5 x 17"] I am delighted with the joystick camera controller. It is everything that we hoped that it would be. Its a huge step up in precise control for the camera - so much more sophisticated than the camera's included remote control that we were previously using. I am very satisfied.

[32 x 24.5 x 17"] I used this controller with the BRC-H800 cameras. Very smooth movement and able to follow talent on stage easily. Controls are very straight forward. Auto iris and focus work very well. Able to set GPI to output closure to force monitor to follow selected camera. GPI is either tally in OR camera selected out. Worked fine for me with new Decimator quad view box using gpi input. Cameras able to do 1080p 59.94 level A or B. I still need to do the software update on the cameras for Trace Memory operation. Even without it, I really like this set up. Able to get very pro looking video, almost like a manned camera. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to go a bit slower on zoom so I can get push/pull shots straight on. I could get the pan slow enough to creep. Looked great. To be fair, I haven't used the latest software yet, but will soon. Solid feeling controller. Pretty easy to learn, once set up. I have not used a PTZ camera setup before, but I really liked using this set up.

[23 lb / 10.4 kg] I received this unit less than a week ago, but am already truly amazed at the level of integration Skaarhoj has achieved (via unique Device Core config files) with my Panasonic PTZ cameras. The out of the box config for Pana AW-HEx models is great, but user can enter web interface (using great Kasper Skaarhoj demo videos) to change button labels, edit/add functions and customize, if desired.

I know of no other controller for my cameras that has ALL these forms of controL: 1- PTZ Speed Control (while manipulating joystick), 2- PTZ Preset Speed (movement rate between presets), 3- Cruise Control which allows you start a slow zoom or pan movement with user-defined duration then go hands free and perform slow dissolves in/out of cruising shot. I plan to use feature #3 often.

My kudos go out to the Skaarhoj team in Copenhagen!

[38.3 lb] I have three of these controllers. It is a wonderful improvement to the older one, However, The manual does not have an index. It is pretty difficult to navigate the logic of the various control menus.
