AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with 5-inch Touch Preview LCD, IP NDI Camera Controller Keyboard with 4D Joystick for Worship Church Live Streaming Video Production, PoE Enable (5 inch Touch Screen)ClimatePartner certified

This is an amazing controller. I have tried them all and this one is the best. It automatically find each camera with no problem and configure for you...no brainer...easy touch screen and e asy to learn all the controls. Once setup all you have to do is touch and go. Go ahead check out the rest, by far this one is the best on the scene right now and for a long time to come. It has all the protocals including NDI. Hooked up 5 NDI's to it with no problem plus visca, sony, IP all of them are there. If you use a lot of cameras in your streaming this is the one to buy...no other can even come close.

Pros:This section is shorter, but carries more weight. First and foremost: I had quick response from customer support. They got me pointed in the right direction to fix a couple of issues I was having. That's a huge plus in my book. Tons of features. Decent touch screen. Bigger screen (and decent image) than most for previewing the camera feed. Single button presses to switch cameras and to switch present views. Our previous controller required 3 button presses for one action.Cons:This is only the second joystick controller I have used, so my experience is limited but my first impression is that there does seem to be just a slightly longer delay between moving the joystick and seeing the change of view on the preview screen. I don't know if that's a function the controller or protocol or camera, but our older and cheaper quality controller seemed a hair faster. Outside of that, my only other two complaints are minor: In some parts of the touch screen menu (like the URL field), it brings up a virtual keyboard making it much easier to type in the value you want/need, but in other parts (like the Name field) it does not - leaving you to use the telephone style keypad to toggle through the characters to enter. I think it should always present the virtual keyboard to enter custom values. The other minor thing is that I wish when you were previewing the camera feed that it would at least temporarily show a setting when you are changing it. For example: If you want to change the speed of the zoom or pan/tilt motions while in preview, you can certainly change them, but you do not see how much you are changing them. unless you go back to the Cam Info screen.

We use tis in our place of worship. It can have multiple cameras, but we only use it for 1. It was a little technical to set up. But once we got it, easy to use. We have 5 presets which is a big part of the reason we wanted a controller. Smooth motion and focus during transitions. We are using this with an IP camera.

THIS IS A GREAT PRODUCT. THIS Controller HAS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH TECH SUPPORT TO HELP CONFIGURE THE CAMERA IF NEEDED.Controller HAS GREAT QUALITY FOR THE PRICE AND I WOULD RECCOMEND THESE TO EVERYONE THAT USE PTZ Controller.Tech support was fantastic and did a great job helping with setting up the av-joy-pro controller also.

I needed a responsive PTZ control for live streaming. I thought the joystick would give me responsive control, but when I tried it I found the joystick to be extremely sluggish. There is a 1 to 1-1/2 second delay after moving the joystick until the camera moves. Then when I release the joystick the camera continues to move for 1 to 1-1/2 seconds. When I use the on-screen controls in the NDI tools app the response is immediate, so it is not a camera issue.Update: AVKANS support suggested changing the protocol to VISCA-IP. After changing the protocol (a tedious process putting in IP addresses) the responsiveness of the joystick was greatly improved.

Review for AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with 5-inch Touch Preview LCDI couldn’t be more impressed with the AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller! This controller is an absolute game-changer, offering smooth, precise control with an incredibly intuitive 5-inch touch preview LCD that makes camera operation seamless. The build quality is solid, the responsiveness is excellent, and the interface is well-designed for both beginners and professionals.What truly sets AVKANS apart, though, is their exceptional customer support. Their team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about ensuring you get the best experience possible. Because of this outstanding quality and support, I’m planning to purchase more AVKANS cameras to expand my setup. If you’re in the market for a professional-grade PTZ controller, this is the one to get!Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The setup video is misleading to say the least. My I.T. friend never could get the controller and cams to see each other.

Recently bought this controller. It was not only delivered before due that, but the packaging was excellent. Using the controller was very easy. Easy to operate and easy to setup. I did run into a small snag as I couldn't control one of the Visca IP cameras. The others are NDI. I contacted the AVKANS team via email and they were very prompt to answer. They guided me to what I was doing wrong and the problem was solved. An excellent service team that actually responds and are keen to resolve your questions. I highly recommend this product if you have a small studio or are using it in a house of service. We went from Xbox controller to this AVKANS Joy Pro. It has changed our lives.
