A Small Crew Necessity
The One Man Crew Director is the perfect addition to small crews doing interviews and relying on fast setups and higher quality footage with the same budget and crew. The One Man Crew Director improves almost every aspect of shooting an interview, particularly the five shots every interview incorporates:
Use the One Man Crew Director on a single camera, on a second camera, or part of a larger multi-camera shoot. It will produce exceptional, smooth results without a dedicated camera operator. With the free remote control app, One Man Crew Director is also great for self-interviews or youtube reviews. The One Man Crew Director also delivers beautiful, smooth camera movements outside of interviews. Use it for b-roll, insert shots, product beauty shots, anywhere you use a tripod today. The motorized trolly and precision-machined track gives you great fluid results for any shot you want to enhance. From ultra-slow creeps to fast reveals, you can dial in the exact speed you want. Every take will be as smooth as the first.
Unattended Operation
You never want to be setting up and fine-tuning your gear while your interview subject waits. The One Man Crew Director is a self-contained unit sets up in about a minute. Intuitive controls and laser-assisted subject placement means you can truly set it and forget it. One Man Crew Director does the rest, delivering smooth, controlled camera moves for that high-end production feel, all by itself. Walk into a board room, a hotel room, or a set with confidence you can nail the shot.
The heart of the One Man Crew Director is the first and only parabolic motion system based on the patented StayFocus curved rail. Once set up, your subject stays in focus and stationary in the frame without any operator assistance. Push-button ease of use means you are getting the shot, not fiddling with controls and programming while everyone is waiting.

App Features:
- Beautiful user interface makes setup and operation a breeze
- Start and stop the camera from the app (with the optional camera-specific start/stop cable)
- Intuitive

Redrock Micro One Man Crew Stand Adapters (Pair)
One Man Crew Stand Adapters are an accessory that enables the One Man Crew to be supported on each end by lightweight stands for added stability and versatility. This is ideal when using heavier cameras that may otherwise exceed the load capacity of your existing tripod, or when it’s more convenient to use smaller light stands or c-stands rather than carrying an extra tripod.
By supporting each of the ends instead of just the center you guarantee that, no matter how heavy the camera, your shot will remain level. The adapters screw into the bottom of the One Man Crew and provide a locking female baby pin, perfect for light stands or c-stands.
The One Man Crew Stand Adapters support up to a 5/8" light stand pin. Knurled rubber knobs screw into the One Man Crew, and feature a captive design so they will not fall out while attaching or breaking down your setup. The One Man Crew Stand Adapters are lightweight and compact. They do not effect any of the normal functions of the One Man Crew and do not preclude the use of a tripod.
Stand Adapter Features:
- Made from lightweight aluminum
- Black anodized finish
- Captive rubber knobs with 1/4"-20 screws attach adapters to One Man Crew
- 1/4"-20 mounting studs
- Fits 5/8" light stand pins on C-Stands or light stands
