EPH-6

Thank you for choosing Revo.

The Revo EPH-6 is an electronic panoramic head that adds up
to 360° of continuous panning for video or time-lapse
photography. This panning head is ideal for novice and
intermediate photographers and videographers. It can be used
on any flat surface, or mounted on a tripod or camera slider,
to add stunning cinematic effects to your projects.

The panoramic head allows the selection of 90°, 180°, and
360° panning angles at speeds of 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
This is ideal for real-time video or time-lapse photography
with cameras or smartphones that have time-lapse or interval
capture functionality. It’s operated by the included remote that
can control the unit at up to 30 feet away. The head also
offers Bluetooth compatibility so you can trigger a
smartphone camera from the remote.

Mounting the Panoramic Head and Attaching a Camera

The EPH-6 can be used on a tabletop, mounted on a tripod,
or mounted on a slider. To use the panoramic head on a
tripod or slider, follow these steps:

Note: The mounting socket comes with a preinstalled 3/8” to 1/4”
reducer bushing. If the tripod or slider mounting post is 3/8”,
unscrew the bushing to mount the panoramic head.

1. Align the mounting socket of the panoramic head with
the mounting post of a tripod or slider, and carefully
screw the panoramic head onto the mounting post. Make
sure the panoramic head is flush with the base of the
tripod or slider.

2. Use the bubble level to orient the head with the horizon.

Alternate #1: The panoramic head can be mounted onto a
ballhead or a video head. Mount the head onto the tripod or
slider before following the instructions to mount the
panoramic head.

Alternate #2: A ballhead can be placed on top of the
panoramic head, and a camera mounted to the ballhead.
This setup can vary the angle during rotation.

3. Align the camera’s mounting socket with the 1/4”
mounting post.

4. Screw the camera onto the panoramic head, and make
sure the bottom of the camera is flush with the rotator.

Operating the Panoramic Head

Note: Make sure that the IR receiver on the panoramic head and
the IR transmitter on the remote are facing each other and there is
no obstruction of the line of sight.

1. Move the power switch to the On position.

2. Select the angle and speed setting on the remote control. The
LEDs will indicate your selections on the panoramic head.

3. Select the panning direction on the remote control. The
angle and speed LEDs will blink to indicate that the
rotator is moving.

To discontinue operation, press the stop button on the
remote.

Using Bluetooth

The panoramic head is Bluetooth compatible. To trigger your
smartphone camera via the remote control, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the panoramic head. The power LED will flash to
indicate that it is searching for a Bluetooth device.

2. Open the Bluetooth preferences on your phone, and
select REVO EPH-6 in the device list. Wait until the
phone indicates that Bluetooth is connected.

3. Open the camera app on your smartphone.

4. Point the remote control at the panoramic head, and
press the shutter button. This will trigger the phone’s
camera.

Charging the Panoramic Head

When the battery is low, the blue power indicator will flash
quickly.

1. Plug the Micro-B USB connector into the USB port of the
Panoramic head.

2. Plug the Standard-A USB connector into a powered USB
port on a computer or into a USB wall charger. The
power indicator will glow red. When it’s fully charged, the
indicator will turn off.
