Middle Remote

Ever dreamed of having just one professional remote that can both control your gimbal & camera settings, very precisely, during your live productions ? Designed to be used with our free Middle Control Software, the Middle Remote lets you control your gimbal and camera through a single compact & professional PTZ remote! 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.

- A Highly Flexible Modular Approach

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 perfect companion for Middle Control Software

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!
