Gitzo Athena

Gitzo's Athena is a fully electronic, remote-controlled head allows you to put a camera in places that might be inaccessible or dangerous for a human. The Athena can point in almost any direction, panning vertically, horizontally, or rolling over on a swivel, thus giving the user an enormous amount of camera control via dedicated software on a nearby computer.
