Point Tracking v2

Edelkrone has introduced a revolutionary update to entity tracking: Point Tracking v2. This update brings a whole new dimension to cinematic object tracking by enabling filmmakers to track both static and moving subjects with precision, intelligence and fluidity.

Evolution: from static to dynamic tracking

Previous point tracking technology allowed flawless tracking of subjects, but only for static objects. With Point Tracking v2, it is now possible to track moving subjects in perfect synchronization with camera movement. This update uses advanced inverse kinematics, feedback from motor encoders and an intelligent tracking algorithm to keep the subject flawlessly centered, no matter how it moves.

By integrating motorized arms, heads and turntables into a single synchronized system, Point Tracking v2 enables the camera to seamlessly track dynamic motion, making footage more immersive and cinematic than ever before.

Shifting the paradigm of cinematic motion

Unlike traditional tracking methods where the camera moves around a fixed subject, Point Tracking v2 introduces a new aspect of motion: both camera and subject moving simultaneously in perfect choreography.

This innovation brings a number of cinematic advantages:

• Enhancing depth and spatial perception

  With both camera and subject moving, shots exhibit an enhanced sense of three-dimensionality. The interaction of parallax shifts and synchronised movement creates an almost holographic depth, making subjects more vivid and engaging.

• Hyperrealistic tracking and airy elegance

  With the camera dynamically adjusting pan and tilt to maintain the perfect shot, the subject appears to float effortlessly in the composition. This effect is particularly valuable for product cinematography.

• Cinematic fluidity and uninterrupted motion

  In traditional tracking, complex manual adjustments are often required to keep a moving subject in frame. Point Tracking v2 automates this process with the precision of a machine, enabling continuous, visually engaging motion that is both organic and extremely fluid.

• Unprecedented control over motion

  With motorized encoders and real-time inverse kinematics calculations, filmmakers now have full control over tracking speed, direction and synchronization, making the creative possibilities limitless.

The best equipment for Point Tracking v2

While Point Tracking v2 can be used on all Edelkrone bodies (including booms, sliders and motorized dollies) with a dual-axis design and vertical camera movement, two devices stand out among them:

JibONE & JibPLUS: The ultimate tracking arms
With the ability to move the camera along horizontal and vertical axes, JibONE and JibPLUS offer the smoothest and most dynamic point tracking shots. Paired with a motorized head, these arms allow the camera to float effortlessly around the subject while the tracking algorithm maintains perfect composition.

To maximize the power of Point Tracking v2 at Edelkrone, they have put together the ultimate PackSHOT package that combines JibONE/JibPLUS with their cutting-edge motion control devices to provide the ultimate motion system for creating stunning shots.

The new standard in motion control

With Point Tracking v2, cinematic motion control has reached a new frontier. No longer limited to static subjects, your camera motion control can now seamlessly track motion, creating a symphony of synchronized motion that was previously impossible to achieve with traditional systems.

Whether you're shooting dynamic product presentations, cinematic storytelling or high-quality commercial visuals, Point Tracking v2 opens up new creative possibilities that will set your footage apart.
