Virtual Tracking Jib
TJ20
The TJ20 virtual tracking jib is a manual jib system that moves the camera within a certain range by mounting the CD15 or CD20 virtual tracking head.
Equipped with high-precision absolute angle sensors on the pan and tilt of the arm. The system’s locator collects data from these sensors, gathers the head’s angle data, combines it with the arm length and other structural data, and calculates the camera’s position and angle in real time.
The tracking accuracy of the jib system largely depends on the accuracy of the installation, so the level adjustment of each link is critical. In particular, the horizontal state of the central rotation axis of the jib is critical, as its error will be amplified according to the length of the arm. To reduce this error, a threaded adjustment device is designed at the bottom of the tripod, allowing for precise adjustment under full load conditions besides a high-precision level bubble .
After the jib is set up, the “Conical Cross Positioning Method” is used to determine the positioning parameters of the jib system through a few simple steps, including the zero-degree deviation angle of the arm and the coordinates of the arm’s center reference point in the on-site coordinate system. these parameters can be determined within 3 to 5 minutes.
As a tracked tracking system, the TJ20 virtual tracking jib has no special requirements for the environment, no need to install auxiliary positioning markers, and the continuity and accuracy of tracking data are not affected by the light and shadow or obstructions, nor are there any special restrictions on the camera angle. Therefore, the TJ20 virtual tracking jib system is an ideal choice for VR, AR,and virtual shooting fields like XR (LED screens) that require moving cameras.
