I am absolutely thrilled to share my enthusiastic review of the AVKANS Super PTZ Camera Joystick Controller. This remarkable piece of equipment has completely transformed the way I interact with and control PTZ cameras, and I couldn't be more impressed. The AVKANS Super PTZ Camera Joystick Controller has truly elevated my camera control experience to new heights. Its intuitive design and ergonomic layout make operating PTZ cameras an absolute pleasure. The joystick's precise control over pan, tilt, and zoom movements allows for incredibly smooth and accurate adjustments, resulting in seamless video capturing. One of the standout features of this controller is its versatility. Whether I'm using it for live event coverage, studio productions, or remote monitoring, the controller adapts flawlessly to different scenarios. Its compatibility with a wide range of PTZ cameras ensures that I can use it with my existing equipment, making it a valuable addition to my setup. The controller's user-friendly interface is another highlight. The clear and responsive buttons, along with the intuitive menu navigation, make it easy to access and adjust camera settings on the fly. This has significantly improved my efficiency during live productions, enabling me to focus on capturing the perfect shots. The build quality of the AVKANS Super PTZ Camera Joystick Controller is also worth noting. It feels robust and well-made, assuring me of its durability and reliability even in demanding environments. Above all, this controller has become an indispensable tool in my video production arsenal. Its seamless integration, precise control, and user-friendly design make it an absolute game-changer. If you're in search of a top-tier PTZ camera controller that combines functionality, ease of use, and exceptional performance, I wholeheartedly recommend the AVKANS Super PTZ Camera Joystick Controller. It's a fantastic investment that has significantly enhanced my camera control capabilities.

The AVKANS Super PTZ Camera Joystick Controller is perfect for video production and livestreaming applications. The first two things that really impressed me is variable speed zoom and control protocol switched by camera and not by mode. That allows the controllor to switch protocols as you switch cameras! The variable speed zoom is great. This is the first PTZ camera controllor that I have found that has these features at this price point. The controls are layed out very nice and light up and that is great when the House lights are turned off. I tested the controllors differant contol protocols to see if any of them have limited control. Any Visca RS232, RS422 or Visca over IP configuration has full control. Some controls like shutter and iris do not work with RS485 Pelco P/D protocols but auto focus and auto white balance do work. Another feature that I like is the six configurable camera buttons. I like being able to switch camers with the touch of one button. If you have more than six cameras, you inter the camera number and press the CAM button. The backlit digital readout is very easy to read and shows camera name, address and port number plus control protocol. If you are using control over IP, you will also see the IP address. You can change the camera name to anything you want. Finding cameras on your network is very simple with the press of the search button. This controllor is compact and dose not take up much space. The controllor can be powered by the included power supply or by POE through a Cat5 cable. Camera presets are easy to set or reset and can be used by pressing the number and the CALL button. This is the best PTZ camera controllor I have used and I am very impressed.

This controller is easy to set up and functions nicely to control the two AVKANS LV20N cameras that we purchased for use in a worship center. The pan, tilt and zoom speed is easy to control based on how far you move the joystick. The default, programmable function keys allow you to turn AI tracking on and off on the cameras. Currently, however, you are unable to control the AI tracking mode (wide, normal or zoom) from the controller since AVKANS has not yet created visca IP control commands for these options. Hopefully they will do so soon, so the IR remote (only way to do it currently) will no longer be needed. The manufacturer answered email questions fully in less than 12 hours. Excellent support.

Great product as it works flawlessly PTZ cameras and especially with the Avkans PTZ cameras! Highly recommend for my clients and will continue to use going forward !

Great product. The only downside of this product is that the screen is small but it still very usable.

We purchased this controller with the streaming camera system for our church, and we have been using it for nearly two years now without a single issue. Compared to a different controller we use at our other location—which requires pressing a whole series of buttons just to switch cameras—this one lets us switch between cameras with a single dedicated button press. Programming the presets is incredibly easy, and having dedicated buttons to instantly adjust pan, tilt, and zoom speeds is a game changer. The joystick feels like excellent quality, and the resulting camera movements are perfectly smooth at every speed I've tested. My only minor note is that we haven't been able to get a live preview to show up on the 5" display screen, but otherwise, the controller works flawlessly. It has made running our weekly streams a breeze. Strongly recommend!

I've only been using this device (PowerJoy with NDI) for a couple of months, but so far, it has exceeded my expectations and has been great! I previously had the Hsility PTZ controller. With the AVKANS PowerJoy, it is much easier/quicker, with few buttons to press, to switch between cameras and access and call on pre-saved camera positions, which are criticla in a live production. Also, the auto exposure, auto white balance, auto focus features are great -- and the ability to adjust zoom speed (in addition to pan/tilt speed), is a great feature that was unavailable for the Minrray UV510a PTZ cameras on the Hsility controller. That is a huge plus for me! The LCD display is great as well. Although my cameras are NDI-enabled, and although I use NDI in my productions, I was unable to get the NDI preview to work properly with my cameras with this controller. That was not a big deal though because I'm using Visca Over IP to control the cameras and RTSP for the previews from the cameras into this controller. Great job, AVKANS! Great value and great features, with a great layout and buttons/access on the device -- plus a convenient web interface as well.

We're thoroughly impressed with the AVKANS Super PTZ Camera! The camera's pan-tilt-zoom functionality is incredibly smooth and precise, allowing us to capture high-quality footage with ease. The image quality is outstanding, with crisp and clear video even in low-light conditions. The camera's wide angle and zoom capabilities make it perfect for capturing large areas or focusing on specific details. The PTZ controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to adjust the camera's position and focus. We've also appreciated the camera's durability and reliability, withstanding regular use and handling. Overall, the AVKANS Super PTZ Camera has exceeded our expectations and is a valuable addition to our video production setup.

excellent value and service

I love this controller as it is very easy to use and understand. If i need help, I know customer support will be right there to guide me. Love the Avkan company

I have four Avkans cameras and thought that a controller made by the same company would be a good replacement for my existing, cheaper controller, but no. The control of the cameras is sluggish and latent, and the camera continues to pan for a moment after you release the stick. It feels “mushy”. When zooming, about 25% of the time, the camera continues to zoom after the control is released. The buttons are also often non-responsive and you often have to push them several times to get them to respond. Overall not great.

Excellent controller & great value for money. Found it better than my very expensive European Joystick. Also excellent support team.
