A Mac app for your whole rig.

The official edelkrone app is made for one phone. When edelkrone released its SDK, we did what we always do at Guifi: push the limits, just get started and make the tools better. So we built edelkrone control: a Mac app that drives heads, slider, jib and dolly together from one screen, with a real controller in your hands.

The app

Everything on one screen.

Every unit gets its own controls, with live readouts of pan, tilt, slider, jib and focus. Scenes sit at the bottom, one click away.

Everything on one screen.

Made by makers

Built because we needed it.

GuifiLab is the development team of Guifi. We also shoot video ourselves, and when a tool is missing, we build it. edelkrone control started as a tool for our own shoots.

About Guifi
Features

Control, save, replay.

Everything the edelkrone SDK allows, combined smartly. Where the SDK measures, the app corrects; where it reports nothing, the app works it out.

Everything at once

Drive all units together, each with its own top speed that the app enforces.

Corrects on what it measures

Routes and moves steer on speed and read the position back on the way, so everything arrives where it should, even though the SDK cannot drive to coordinates yet.

Learns your rig

The app learns how fast each axis of each unit really moves, and plans every move around it.

Scenes that come back

Twelve scenes for the whole rig, including tripod height and focus. After a power cycle the app puts them back on the units in one click.

Limits and back and forth

Click the compass or the bar and the axis drives there. Set a left and right limit on the slider: it slows down and stops there, and runs back and forth as often as you like, with its own speed out and back.

Moves with several tracks

Record moves per unit, combine them, and set delay, size and tempo per track.

Link as a set

Turn HeadPLUS, slider, jib and dolly into a Krone S or Krone X, right from the app.

Safe in every move

Let go or lose the connection and everything stops within half a second. Space always stops.

PlayStation controller

A real controller in your hands

Connect a PS4 or PS5 controller over Bluetooth or USB and steer like a camera operator. Smooth sticks for pan, tilt, slider and jib, the triggers for the dolly, scenes under your thumb. Nothing moves unless you hold R1.

DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel

Trackballs for your camera move

Got a DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel? Each trackball drives a unit, or one part of a linked set: head, slider or dolly. The ring pans, the ball tilts or slides. Buttons send the slider left, centre or right, or drive the dolly straight on. Open Resolve and it gets the panel back by itself.

GuifiLab builds the interface; how it works also depends on edelkrone (SDK and firmware) and Apple macOS. Not an edelkrone product. Only update firmware after our message. What works with what

And more

Made for real shoots.

Ready-made routes

Pan, reveal, crane, parallax, jib swing, dolly runs and tripod column. Back and forth as often as you like.

Runs

Several Macs

Control the rig from a second Mac on the same network, protected with an access code.

Vision Module (beta)

Tracking status, faces in view and the live camera image, in a window you can move to a second screen.

FAQ

Good to know.

You can buy it in our shop now, with 14 days money back.

Pick your license
Which edelkrone gear does it support?

HeadPLUS v3 (also PRO), HeadONE v2, SliderPLUS v6, JibPLUS, DollyPLUS v2, the Focus/Zoom Module (focus) and the Tripod X PRO. It uses the official edelkrone SDK.

Which controls can I use?

Your keyboard (QWERTY, AZERTY or QWERTZ), a PlayStation controller (PS4 or PS5), the DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel and a Stream Deck. Every button can be set up, and you can print an overview of all controls as a cheat sheet.

Does it work with a Stream Deck?

Yes. The app makes a ready-made page for Bitfocus Companion: import it and you are done. The buttons light up: STOP red while something moves, the active scene green. Other tools can drive the app too, over plain HTTP addresses.

Can I set limits?

Yes, in the Limits tab. Set a limit for the slider, pan and tilt: the unit slows down and stops there, with keys, controller and panel. It also has back and forth (with its own speed or time out and back) and back to the start.

What can it not do yet?

Things the edelkrone SDK does not offer yet: zoom, laser, starting Vision tracking, making a dolly path and timelapse. You still do those in the edelkrone app. Unlinking a set is not in the SDK either: click Unlink in the app, then switch the units off and on.

Does it work with the DaVinci Resolve Micro Panel?

Yes, tested with the Micro Panel. DaVinci Resolve must be installed on the Mac, because the app uses its panel service. While Resolve is closed, the panel drives your rig; open Resolve and it gets the panel back by itself. You choose per trackball which unit or part of the set it drives.

Can I use it next to the edelkrone app?

Not on the same unit at the same time: a unit talks to one app. Disconnect here, do what you need in the edelkrone app, close it and reconnect.

What do I need?

A Mac with macOS 13 or newer and Bluetooth. For the Vision image over wifi you also install the free edelkrone SDK app.

How does the license work?

You get a key from our shop. The License works on 1 Mac for a year: €79 the first year if you order by 30 November, then €129 per year. Studio works on 4 Macs: €149 the first year, then €199 per year. Switching Macs is always possible: remove the key in the app and activate it on the other Mac. Without a key the demo keeps working.

Is this an official edelkrone app?

No. GuifiLab built it with the official edelkrone SDK. edelkrone is a trademark of edelkrone; we are not affiliated with them.
