Notes Refer to the above table for the total weight of the pan-tilt head with the camera, lens, cables and any other accessories installed.

Install the equipment on an installation surface which is capable of ensuring a drop safety equivalent to five times the figure for the total weight.

The maximum weight of the units which can be installed on the pan-tilt head is 33.1 lbs (15 kg) or so [or approximately 55.1 lbs (25 kg) total for the weight of the pan-tilt head and weight of the units installed on the head]. When mounting the pan-tilt head on which units have been installed, be sure to mount it on an installation surface which is itself capable of ensuring a satisfactory drop safety.

Installing the pan-tilt head

Before installing the pan-tilt head, check that the above mounting conditions are satisfied, and observe the following precautions. In order to prevent accidents resulting when the product becomes dislodged or falls down, be absolutely sure to proceed as instructed. Do not install the pan-tilt head on its side since its prescribed operation and performance cannot be ensured.

After the pan-tilt head has been installed, mount the camera on it.

When installing the pan-tilt head, use the four mounting holes to secure the pan-tilt head firmly.

Ensure that the surface on which the pan-tilt head will be installed and the anchor bolts used are sufficiently strong.

Use the M6 hexagon head bolts (including one short bolt) for installation.

Use hexagon head bolts which are longer than the thickness (t) of the mounted member + 1” (25 mm).

As shown in the figure of next page, use flat washers, spring washers and hexagon nuts for the hexagon head bolts.

Use a wrench of the appropriate size to tighten up the hexagon head bolts.

Provide a wire which is strong enough to support the combined weight of the entire pan-tilt head system (which consists of the pan-tilt head, camera, lens and cable).

Do not use a surface made of plaster board or wood as this kind of installation surface will not be strong enough. If mounting on such a surface is unavoidable, take sufficient anti-drop measures.

Install the pan-tilt head in such a way that the equipment and cable attached to it will not make contact with any surrounding objects when the head is swiveled.

When the unit is no longer going to be used, do not leave it in place, and be absolutely sure to remove it.

AW-PH405N specifications

The Panasonic AW-PH405N is a versatile and sophisticated robotic camera system designed for professional broadcasting and video production. Its advanced capabilities make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including television studios, sports events, and live productions. With its remarkable features and cutting-edge technologies, the AW-PH405N offers seamless integration into any production environment.

One of the standout features of the AW-PH405N is its exceptional image quality. The camera is equipped with a high-sensitivity 1/2.3-inch MOS sensor that delivers stunning 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution. This ensures sharp, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions, making it perfect for capturing dynamic performances and fast-paced events. Additionally, the camera supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging, allowing for enhanced detail in both highlights and shadows.

Another key characteristic of the AW-PH405N is its advanced panning and tilting capabilities. With a wide pan range of 175 degrees and a tilt range of 30 degrees, the camera can cover a large area, making it suitable for wide-angle shots as well as close-ups. The robotic design allows for smooth and precise movements, which is essential for live broadcasts where timing is crucial.

The AW-PH405N utilizes Panasonic's advanced tracking technology, which enables it to follow subjects automatically. This is particularly beneficial in situations where a camera operator may not be available to assist. The camera can lock onto moving subjects, adjusting its positioning in real-time to ensure they remain in frame, greatly enhancing the production's efficiency.

Connectivity is another area where the AW-PH405N excels. It features a variety of output options, including 3G-SDI and HDMI, allowing for flexible integration with other equipment and systems. Its compatibility with Panasonic’s proprietary remote control system enables operators to manage multiple cameras from a single location, streamlining the production workflow.

In conclusion, the Panasonic AW-PH405N is an exemplary robotic camera that blends advanced technology with practical functionality. Its high-resolution imaging, superior mobility, and automation features make it a reliable solution for modern broadcasting needs. Whether in a studio or on location, the AW-PH405N is engineered to deliver outstanding performance, ensuring that every shot meets the high standards of professional video production.
