This configuration provides a stable, compact footprint ideal for small to medium studios, ensuring vibration-free shots and a maximum elevation of 250 cm. Its intuitive setup allows for rapid deployment in temporary broadcast environments, making it a favorite for mobile production teams. The system's low center of gravity ensures that even at maximum height, the camera remains perfectly steady during rapid pan and tilt movements. Lifto Twin Pro (KPTZ0202) Capacity: 20 kg / 44 lbs | Max Height: 400 cm / 157″The Lifto Twin Pro is a high-end dual-column system that increases the total height by 1 meter compared to the standard setup. It features two synchronized motorized units, effectively doubling the vertical stroke to reach a maximum height of 400 cm. Designed for demanding broadcast environments and live events, it supports advanced preset management and perfectly timed multi-camera movements. This extra height is critical for large-scale venues where the camera must clear the heads of a standing audience or stage equipment to capture a clear wide shot. The heavy-duty design ensures that even at full 4-meter extension, the mechanical tolerances remain tight enough for professional-grade zoom shots. Lifto 25/S Twin (KPTZ0302) Capacity: 20 kg / 44 lbs | Max Height: 400 cm / 157″The Lifto 25/S Twin is a motorized elevation system optimized for synchronized twin-column workflows. By utilizing two motorized stages, it adds 1 meter of additional height to the standard reach, allowing for a massive 400 cm maximum elevation. This system is perfect for high-end concerts and broadcast events where clearing obstacles while maintaining silent, high-precision motion is a requirement. It is specifically engineered to handle the increased leverage of a fully extended setup without introducing sway or jitter. Operators benefit from the seamless integration between the two stages, which move in perfect unison to provide a continuous, fluid vertical travel. Lifto 25/S Pro Motorized Elevation Column (KPTZ0303) Capacity: 25 kg / 55 lbs | Max Height: 254 cm / 100″ The Lifto 25/S Pro is a premium standalone motorized column designed for professional newsrooms and corporate studios. It delivers exceptionally smooth and repeatable motion for payloads up to 25 kg. Its modular design allows for easy integration with dollies and remote control units, reaching a maximum height of 254 cm in its standard single-column configuration. The "Pro" designation signifies enhanced electronics that allow for finer speed increments and more robust communication with external control protocols. This makes it particularly suitable for high-end automated workflows where every millimeter of movement must be perfectly consistent across multiple takes. Lifto 25/S Motorized Elevation Column (KPTZ0301) Capacity: 25 kg / 55 lbs | Max Height: 254 cm / 100″This is the standard motorized unit for the "S" series, offering the same silent performance and 25 kg capacity. It is designed for versatility in educational environments and live streaming setups. It provides a reliable vertical travel range with a maximum height of 254 cm and is fully compatible with the Lifto modular accessory ecosystem. The system strikes an ideal balance between weight and durability, allowing it to be moved easily between different rooms or sets. Its silent operation is a key advantage for talk shows or acoustic musical performances where any mechanical noise would be captured by sensitive microphones. ACCESSORIES & MODULESLifto 25 Additional Column (APTZ008)The Lifto 25 Additional Column is a motorized expansion unit that converts a standard Lifto 25/S into a Twin configuration. Adding this column increases the system height by approximately 1 meter, effectively doubling the vertical stroke. It integrates seamlessly via XLR connectors for power and signal, allowing for significantly taller setups without the need to replace the entire base unit. This module provides a cost-effective path for studios to upgrade their existing equipment as their production requirements grow. Once installed, it functions as a single unified system, controlled via the same interface as the original column. RX Box for Lifto 25/S Pro (KPTZ0206)The RX Box is an Ethernet-based controller upgrade for Pro and Twin systems. It supports advanced PTZ console integration and allows for up to 30 programmed positions. This module is essential for automated, complex shots where precision synchronization between the camera and the elevation column is required. It bridges the gap between the mechanical movement of the lift and the digital control surface of the operator. By using an Ethernet backbone, it ensures low-latency response times and reliable data transmission even over long cable runs in large studio facilities. TX Box + Pedals Kit (KPTZ0205)The TX Box + Pedals Kit enables hands-free operation of the Lifto 25 systems. Using foot pedals, operators can trigger smooth vertical movements or recall height presets while multitasking. This kit is particularly valuable for live productions where the operator needs to manage multiple camera controls simultaneously. The tactile feedback of the pedals allows for nuanced speed control, enabling the operator to focus their hands entirely on the PTZ controller’s joystick for framing and focus. Lifto 25 Control Software (APTZ006)This dedicated software provides full management of the Lifto 25 columns and integrated PTZ cameras. It allows users to program multiple height positions, customize speed and acceleration curves, and optimize the overall workflow for broadcast studios and houses of worship. The software interface provides a clear visual representation of the column's current status and enables the creation of complex movement sequences. This automation capability is ideal for small crews where a single operator needs to manage several dynamic camera angles from a central workstation. Lifto 25 Control Module (APTZ007)A compact hardware unit for direct control of Lifto 25 systems via wired or Bluetooth connection. It supports three height presets and allows for the coordination of multiple columns from a single interface, ensuring fast adjustments and repeatability during live shows. Its rugged, portable design makes it suitable for field use where a full computer setup might be impractical. The intuitive button layout ensures that even under the pressure of a live broadcast, height adjustments can be made quickly and accurately. PTZ Universal Plate (APTZ003)A versatile adapter plate with multiple hole patterns to fit different PTZ brands on standard tripod heads or Lifto elevation columns. This plate eliminates the need for brand-specific mounting hardware, ensuring that as you upgrade or change your camera models, your Lifto system remains compatible. Its high-grade aluminum construction prevents any flexing, which is crucial for maintaining a level horizon when the camera is zoomed in at a distance.
