Key Features

Two- or Four-Axis Motion Control

The MX2 supports two DC brushed motor axes directly using the built-in motor drivers.  An additional two axes of motion in pan and tilt can be added simply by hooking up a Merlin Telescope Head to the MX2.


Integrated Camera Control

Hook any camera with a supported remote cable up to the MX2 and start shooting motion-integrated timelapse videos right away.  No need for additional intervalometers or other electronics to synchronize the camera with the motion.  Control every aspect of the exposure, including auto-focus and exposure on-camera or controlled by the MX2.


Advanced Motion Capabilities

The MX2 can run all axes of motion in both continuous and interleaved (shoot-move-shoot) modes.  Complete control of the output motion including ramping/feathering in the output video and delayed lead-ins are possible with the MX2.


Power-Saving Features

Auto-dim the screen, or disable it completely on a timer to reduce power draw when shooting in the field.  Advanced motor control reduces power draw during continuous motion moves.


Auxiliary Inputs / Outputs

Interact with your environment, integrate with other systems and expand your capabilities.  The MX2 is ready to take inputs and make changes to the program on the fly based on triggers from external sources.  Switches, relays, and more can be used in conjunction with the MX2.


Open-Source

The MX2 is built around open-source electronics and firmware.  Hack it, mod it, change the code, add new features - it's yours: you are free to experiment.
