Thanks for purchasing the CP Micro, our next-generation remote head. We worked long
and hard to make this the very best affordable motion control head on Earth, using trickle-
down performance and design cues from our bigger, more expensive heads, but also
taking novel approaches firmly anchored in proven mechanical design. No corners were
cut in the design - rather, we chose to omit expensive but non-essential features like slip
rings, standard lens control and exotic gearing elements, as well as scaling the whole thing
down to a more appropriate size for compact camera packages, thereby greatly reducing
the complexity and volume of the machining and material.
The tricky part was executing a cost-effective drive system worthy of the CP name while
shrinking its financial and mechanical dimensions to fit the market. The CP Micro is
indeed small . . . and lightweight . . . the manufacturing cost is another matter entirely.
Seeing no cheap way out, we bit the bullet and incorporated the best available
technology for the task, resulting in less profit margin for us and more awesomeness for
you. As our industry-renowned designer proudly noted,
“
This may be the best product I
have ever worked on.
”
One of the coolest things about the CP Micro is that it works with all our other CP
controllers and control accessories, so whether you already own a CP/CPJR or you plan to
expand down the line, your investment is flexible. Anyway, enough with the blabbering
and on to the gear!
