Automated Focus Tracking for Any Camera and Lens
When used with Eclipse products including Atlas and Navigator, Halo Explorer transforms into a powerful focus tracking system that keeps your subject locked in focus at all times. As the subject moves, Halo measures the distance in sub-inch accuracy and moves the lens motor to keep your subject focused, updating continuously. Great for tricky shots that combine camera movement (like dollying) with subject movement. Halo can identify and track subjects up to a distance of 100'.
The World's First Hybrid Focus Tracking
Automated focus tracking can be incredibly valuable, but operators still want manual control at any time. Halo delivers the ability to move between automated focus and manual focus seamlessly and without notice. For the first time you can combine automated focusing with manual focusing within the same shot using any camera and any lens including cinema lenses. You can also use this feature for push-button focus acquisition to quickly set up initial focus or to measure distance in different parts of your scene to set up your focus marks in a fraction of the time.
Use as a Rangefinder for a Great Focus Puller's Companion
For reference, Halo Explorer delivers an incredibly accurate distance information, showing real-time sub-inch accuracy on the built-in display or on your smallHD monitor overlay via the Mission Control app. this can be used to calibrate your remote or as a helpful reference when setting focus marks or pulling manual focus.
