  • AIR One smart gimbal with embedded CPU
  • Camera: Z CAM E2-M4 (integrated)
  • Lens: Panasonic Lumix 14-140 (integrated)
  • iPad (10.2″ 64GB WiFi)
  • AIR iOS app
  • AIR zoom motor and mount
  • 12v-8a power supply
  • Ethernet cable
  • Quick release plate
  • High-impact plastic travel case + foam
  • 3 months AIRcloud subscription
  • 12 months warranty on AIR One robot
  • 12 months support + software updates

AIR One isn't just another piece of equipment – it's an opportunity.

Production professionals understand the importance of image quality in livestreaming. AIR One brings advanced PTZ functions to digital cinema cameras, setting a new standard for professional live production, while reducing costs associated with traditional production.

AIR One Robotics

Meet AIR One – a robotic gimbal that brings human-like movement and automation to remote camera control. AIR One is self-contained kit that can be operated from anywhere using only a broadband connection, and will stream live video to any CDN.

Quality

Can record or stream at full camera resolution

Lightweight

Mount anywhere. Small enough to fit in an aircraft overhead bin.

Camera Agnostic

AIR supports multiple camera makes and models.

Smart Gimbal

Onboard CPU enables highly advanced shots without ever needing to touch the camera.

AIR App

The AIR iOS app allows touchscreen control of the AIR One robot from a local ethernet connection or remotely via the internet. Control up to 6 robots, each with up to 40 preset recall positions, from one iPad. Using the AIRcloud deeplinking, all camera settings and permissions can be autopopulated.

AIRcloud

AIR One connects directly into AIRcloud, an orchestration layer that simplifies your most complicated productions. You can automate your shoot prep and permissions, access all your favorite live production apps from one place, and manage your content via our media asset manager. 


Scale Your Livestreaming Video Production

Results you can count on. A budget you can afford. AIR technology is better, simpler, and radically less expensive than traditional video production techniques. Guaranteed. Join the ranks of successful AIR users, from tier one sports teams to independent YouTubers.

AIR One® Robotic Camera Kit and REMI Production Bundle
AIR is the alternative to complicated and expensive remote production. Our IP-native platform simplifies your workflow, minimizes onsite personnel and gear, and radically reduces costs. You can integrate it into your existing system, or use it stand-alone with our cloud-based system. Whether shooting a single cam remote interview or a multicam livestream, AIR is everything you need in one integrated kit at one low price.


Ready to shoot out of the box, AIR One gives you incredibly accurate pan, tilt & zoom control of a large-sensor 4K digital cinema camera over IP. Turn it on and AIR One self-calibrates, auto-levels, and connects to your network in about a minute. It moves like a human, with smooth multi-speed easing. Gimbal-stabilized and under 10 lbs, you can mount it just about anywhere: on a tripod or light stand, underslung in the grid, down at ground level, or even on a robotic arm. 700 degrees of rotation means you can follow all the action, and output video directly from the robot in HDMI or ethernet via SRT. And, the entire AIR One kit fits into its own carry-on case. 
 

The Z Cam E2 M4 module that ships with the AIR One bundle gives you great bang for the buck. It provides the resolution and dynamic range you’d expect from a 4K MFT sensor, and works great with low light and high frame rate capabilities. Capture up to 4K ProResHQ internally, as well as H.265 and H.264, and up to 240fps HD. 
 

A Panasonic 14-140 lens ships with your kit, or you can install any MFT glass up to 300m. You can even swap the lens mount to use EF glass. No other robotic solution gives you so many lens options. Also included is the AIR zoom motor and mount, giving you incredibly smooth action at any speed. And it’s so quiet that you’ll never worry about it impacting audio on set.


The eInk display on the back of AIR One gives onsite techs all relevant information at a glance: device status, IP address, and device name. No more wasting time having to dig this information up.


Many of our users run multiple AIR One robots on a shoot, and love that they easily connect to the permissioned IP network. Even if you’re augmenting your existing system, you’ll find networking AIR One to be the easiest part of setup. Connect video via ethernet or HDMI. Connect stereo XLR audio via 5 pin lemo.


AIR App – Control From Anywhere
From on-prem or 1000s of miles away, AIR App gives you real time control over the camera with just a touch. The intuitive interface allows for precise movement by dragging your finger over the screen or double-tapping a recall button. 40 programmable presets and a double-tap autofocus feature makes recreating shots easy. Every camera control – from aperture, color shading, F-stop, etc – is fully accessible through the app interface, and a single operator can control up to 6 AIR One robots from one iPad. Learn it in minutes and capture it all with AIR App, from corporate panels to fast sports action (and if you prefer a traditional joystick controller, Skaarhoj support is also available).


AIRcloud – Simplify Your Workflow

  • You don’t need AIRcloud to use AIR One, but we think you’ll like it so much that we’re giving you three months free. AIRcloud is a production suite with tools to manage and automate your entire camera-to-CDN workflow from one web interface. Using a simple UI, you can:
  • Digitize shoot prep with our drag-and-drop planner to assign camera locations, cloud instances, gear management, crew permissions, cameras settings and more.  
  • Switch fully in the cloud with ultra low latency over standard broadband using OBS, vMix or any software defined switcher of your choosing.
  • Diagnose metadata and real-time performance metrics at a glance for every AIR One on your network with our Master Status Dashboard.
  • Remotely operate your AIR One robot(s) over IP from any distance. 
  • Access ultra low-latency comms – 8X faster than Discord – directly from your app. 
  • 500GB of online video storage included, and you can add more as needed.
  • Stream out to any CDN.


If you decide to keep AIRcloud after your trial, it only costs $75/mo or $600/yr per unit, plus $10-$30 per hour per event for comms and switching. It’s radically less expensive than traditional production hardware and operational costs.


We’re adding new features to AIRcloud all the time, and users benefit from a growing ecosystem of in-house and third party apps.

Crop factor (Field of view varies by mount, lens type, and sensor size.)

  • M4 camera + MFT mount + MFT lens = 1.9x crop
    e.g. 14mm MFT lens provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view of a 27mm Full Frame lens (approx. 67º horizontal field of view).
  • M4 camera + EF mount + EF lens = 1.75x crop
    e.g. 14mm EF lens provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view of a 25mm Full Frame lens (approx.71º horizontal field of view).
  • S6 camera + EF mount + EF lens = 1.5x crop
    e.g. 14mm EF lens provides a 35mm-equivalent field of view of a 21mm Full Frame lens (approx. 81º horizontal field of view)
  • F6 + FF mount + FF lens = 1x crop
  • F8 + FF mount + FF lens = 1.2x crop


Sensor subsampling

  • S6/F6/F8 also feature a “crop sensor” mode for subsampling from a smaller area of the sensor when recording/streaming in a 4k/1080HD (vs standard mode which downsamples the full frame from 6K/8K to 4k/HD). Crop mode effectively gives a narrower optical field of view with zero loss in video quality for scenarios where increased focal length on the long end of the zoom is desirable.
  • S6 4K supersample mode = 2.1x
  • S6 HD supersample mode = 4.2x
  • F6 4K supersample mode = 1.5x
  • F6 HD supersample mode = 3x
  • F8 6K supersample mode = 1.6x
  • F8 4K supersample mode = 2.4x
