Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?KEVIN M : Our needs for control are simple, so we went with the less expensive G4 instead of the newer model. Our cameras are PTZOptics, so we wanted to stay in the brand for controls.G. S : The other controller we ordered was not user friendly. Documentation on setup was difficult to locate.

Rated 3 out of 5

product didn't work

After spending time with customer support, it was determined that I had a faulty unit. That was disappointing but it's not why I rate this so low. Instead of buying a new controller, our organization purchased the iPad app. Honestly, apart from the tactile refinement of a joystick, the $10 app is everything I wanted the controller to be. Buy the app. Skip the Joystick.
