Introduction
IR Remote Commander and Receiver
for MECHA is a kit specially designed
by Fanotec to work with MECHA C1
and C2 Controllers. It allows basic
controls and execution of program
presets wirelessly without touching
the camera, controller or any smart
device.
Although both controllers have
their own buttons, they cannot
be used when mounted on a
high pole, such as Fanotec
Carbon Fiber Pole Series 3 –
9.25m extended, or even on the
Travel Pole –2.9m extended.
In this case, remote control is
very helpful and the only
solution at the same time.
However, occasionally you may
not want to touch the controller
for some reason, or it may be
much more comfortable to use
the remote control than the
controller or a smart device.
Use it with MECHA to rotate a
turntable, and your life will be
much easier.
