MECHA C2 User’s Guide
v.02.5
© 2021 FANOTEC
Introduction
You may already know, from the
documentation available at this time,
that MECHA consists of a rotator (E1,
E2, or P1) and a controller (C1), and
is generally used to automate the
movement of various devices, such
as a panoramic head mounted on a
tripod or a turn table holding an
object for filming or photography.
Two such paired MECHA units –
MECHA Dual Axis Combo (DAC) – can
be used for dual axis applications, for
example, in panoramic photography.
The controller is the part of MECHA where
the buttons are located and that allows you
to send various commands to the rotators,
or to update the firmware, for example,
when you do not want to use the User
Interface (UI) for these purposes.
The new controller – C2 – which we present
in this user guide, is a dedicated dual-axis
controller with an OLED display and external
battery.
It is similar to C1 and can control the same
rotators – E1, E2, and P1 – so now you can
choose from the two controllers the one that
best suits your needs and preferences.
Please see
for more details.
The OLED display can guide you through all the major operations and
settings, making C2 much more intuitive than the single-axis C1 controller
with LED indicators only.
