Introducing the Middle Remote | The Ultimate PTZ Remote for Live Production

Order today at : www.middlethings.co/middle-re...
Ever dreamed of having just one professional remote that can both control your gimbal & camera settings, very precisely, during your live productions ? With the Middle Remote, you can adjust a good number of camera settings such as Pan / Tilt / Zoom / ISO, White Balance, Tint, IRIS, Focus, Contrast, Saturation, White / Black Level… If you use a Blackmagic Design ATEM, the Middle Remote displays are synced from the ATEM so that your values are always up to date!
The Middle Remote can either be used to control :
1. Blackmagic Design cameras controlled with an ATEM (Blackmagic ATEM required in that scenario)
2. Blackmagic Design cameras and select DJI gimbals using the Middle Things APC-R. For more info on supported gimbals & cameras, check out the APC-R compatibility.
Make Pro X Glue software (free) and Middle Control Software (free) are required to use the remote. Available on Mac OS (Big Sur or later ) and Windows 10/11.
The Remote is made up of button tiles that can be swapped and configured the way you want. This way, the controller will grow with you! Audio mixers, DMX lighting consoles, A/V automation, Middle Things Middle Control, all of these can be controlled by the MakePro X Glue software which translates the Remote USB instructions into readable messages for these different ecosystems.
Thanks to this modular approach, not only can you dynamically assign almost any camera or gimbal action to any button, but you can also add more buttons / encoders or even motorized faders in a bigger enclosure!
Within a given remote, you can map different buttons to actions from separate devices. Why not map one fader to the Pan / Tilt Speed, another one to an ATEM Laptop Input Audio Level and another one to a Behringer X32 Mix Bus? The remote ships with sticker packs so that you can customize the labels on the 4 RGB buttons, depending on which action is configured.
The Middle Control software has been optimized to run very smoothly with the Middle Remote.
From the Camera ID selection buttons to the camera settings (Iris, ISO, White Balance, Focus, Contrast, Saturation..), every function has been made controllable by the remote.
When you trigger an action on the Middle Remote, it will be sent out to the Glue software which sends it to Middle Control which then translates it to the ATEM, Camera and Gimbal. The Glue software allows you to configure the mapping on the remote.
Thanks to Middle Control's compatibility with Make Pro X Glue and Bitfocus Companion, you can expand the scope of your remote, the only limit being your technical creativity!

[@adrienpayet]

Once again you did something awesome ! ;)

[@nikhilgajjar6731]

I love the idea! I would love to see this integrated with Bitfocus Companion one day! And i'm looking forward for the future expansions teased in the video!

[@MrFolkessoni]

Absolutely brilliant

[@dawsontoth]

Very cool!

[@nebukadnezzar3578]

I can't believe what I am seeing!!!!

[@terryhatziieremias]

great, does this ship worldwide?

[@jigme]

Hi! Can I control the PZ compatible zoom lense as I do in the ATEM software? I mean, can I zoom in and out with this device?

[@MiddleThings]

Hello Jigmé, yes you can control those lenses as well :)

[@jigme]

@@MiddleThings merci ! Pre-ordered one 😉

We are currently using the APC-R with Atem and 3 BMPCC4k on DJI Ronan2 for our church live stream. We’re using a Xbox one controller and it’s ok but this new control looks like it will fulfill all of our wishes for this system! We will be getting one soon.

[@MiddleThings]

The Middle Remote offers much better control, feel free to reach out if you have any questions :)

[@Reedith]

How are you liking that setup? Do you use presets? If so, how well does it recall them? Is it always in focus? Or do you have to refocus a lot?

[@papajoe7]

Those other board that you had the middle control connected to the soundboard and a few other switchboards what products were those that the middle board with connected to but made it expanded in bigger would you get those products too

[@johncurrey5726]

Hi there - I'm very curious about the joystick and its sensitivity. Is the speed variable based on how far you're moving the joystick? Or does it just go one speed no matter how far to one side you move it. I know there's a speed variability option, but I want to make sure you can - for example - follow a subject across stage as they run or walk based on the input you're giving to the joystick in realtime. Thank you.

[@jonlocker]

This looks great. Is there a place in the software or button module, that will have presets? I hate our Birddog cameras...BUT...on one of our bigger clients, it's all about having 6-8 presets setup for each camera to snap to different shots of an orchestra.

[@Reedith]

I think so, yes, it does. save presets.

[@ONtvChannels]

Wow! Did I see you have the new BMD Studio Camera 4K PRO attached and balanced to the DJI RS 2 (with a RavenEye I assume?) This setup looks like in could well be a PTZ camera replacement system?

[@MiddleThings]

Hello, yes check out our dedicated RS2 + Studio Camera 4K Pro video on the channel!

[@kelepmensah]

Can you give the link to all the equipments

[@somatexinternational]

very nice , but I am in Sony and Dji world , can this middle remote work for us the Sony family ?

[@Reedith]

Can you use this to reliably control the Sony Fr7 ?

[@EugeneMaynard]

Is there any way of getting the Nikon Z9 to be used in your workflow? 👍🏾🙏🏾

[@lucasbeathyate2879]

does it work with the Bolt arm´s?

[@FromilhagueRomain]

Salut une petit question, est-ce que le nouveau Atem Television Studio 4K8 peut faire office de Middle Remote ? Merci à toi

[@eirendiaz9003]

Can it control both zoom and focus?

[@chrismanchester6363]

How do you power the BMPCC for long shows with this set up?

[@MiddleThings]

We use a DTAP to BMPCC 4K adapter, along with a Tilta Power base plate (that also powers the RS2 with a DTAP) and then an Indi Pro Tools multi DTap to Mains Adapter

[@mattfluegge9006]

What lens can you use on this?

[@MiddleThings]

Depends on your camera. We tend to recommend the Olympus 12-100 / BMPCC 4K combo

[@mattfluegge9006]

@@MiddleThings and this has the power zoom? So you can control on BMPCC 4K and BMSC 4K?

[@jonlocker]

My talor is rich... plus chère qu'une camera black magic 2000 euros T.T.C, vous avez exagéré sur le prix, autant acheter pour beaucoup d'entre nous une camera PTZ à 2000 euros euros 4K
