Home of Middle Things, innovative solutions for live streaming. We are passionate about helping to improve live streaming quality standards to provide a better experience for each and every viewer.
On this channel, we will try to showcase the products & tools we build and make reviews of other tool we use as a production company.
We introduced the APC, the APC-R and Middle Control, which are tools to create cinematic PTZ. You can transform your DJI gimbal into a remotely controlled Pan / Tilt / Zoom system, perfectly suited for live production!
Hello, DJI has been indeed offering this feature for a long time. However our system is designed for users in a live production environment where the control room is far away from the cameras and 99% of the time will be out of range of the DJI Ronin Bluetooth chip.

Sony camera control would be great, especially if the zoom could be controlled via wired multiport, either via the gimbal or directly. Then the FX30 in combo with the 18-105mm F4 PZ or FX3 with the 28-135mm F4 PZ could make an affordable alternative to a high-end PTZ camera like the FR7!
This would be amazing paired with Sony Handycam FDR-AX53. We use those cameras for my church live stream ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6hZZ8u1rgaE.html
i have the dji rs2 gimbal, and Nikon Z2II, it will amazing combo with your APC-R Mini on Gimball control. But it is the APC-R Mini is Wifi ? if yes it not use NDI protocol ? Because, many people (and me) use multiple PTZ camera, and one camera dslr-hybrid.. (nikon for me) , all PTZ control (pan, move), but all are use NDI protocol, yes is not free, but really perform network, and all are controled by the same software (all software PTZ know NDI protocol) The insane are APC-R Mini is Wifi and know NDI Protocol. I can use every software PTZ for real PTZ cam and control Gimbal. For control some feature of Nikon Z6II, i know is not in your roadmap. :( If you say ...i buy the APC-R Mini :-)
oh god. I also just noticed the "active track" button in the Bitcompanion Section of your Video 😄 Can you also start/stop Active Track of the Raveneye with this?
It would be great to get this off fiber and wireless, like fiber should always be an option, but it'd be great to get camera control and PTZ control over HDMI wireless.
Debating right now if I should try and build out. a kit with a Sony Zv e1 in the center And basically see if it can go up against a Sony FR7 in terms of functionality for half the price.
We’ve got the acp-r on the multiple Sony a7cii and a7iv with 70-200, 200-600. Yes, They can compete and it’s under half the price :) Just watch out for possible over heating on the ZV-E1. Haven’t had any problems on ours with record 4K internal and and 1080 hdmi out.
Love it! Sony camera control would be big for me. I am planing to use this in a car rig to remote control the gimbal. Therefore a mobile app with reduced functionality would be awesome. But I see this is quite a niche. Keep up the great work!
Insane ! Got 2 questions : - is it possible to set and recall position ? ( Like position 1 is speaker 1, pos 2 speaker 2, etc...) - if yes, is it possible to go back to those position using companion?
@@MiddleThings 😄Der Sekt kommt aus Sachsen-Anhalt, die reden da bisschen anders als in Sachsen, aber zufällig meine Heimat. Aber bei mir gibts nur schönes, ostdeutsches Schwarzbier. Prost. 🍻
@@MiddleThings Sag mal, warum hast du entschieden englischsprachig zu machen, wenn ich fragen darf? Kommt man da besser voran als im Deutschen? Ich überlege das nämlich auch gerade.
Ne Spass, ich komme aus Frankreich, have nur ein paar Jahre in Deutschland verbracht :) Ein mehrsprachiges Channel wäre lieder zu viel Aufwand für uns, da die mehrheit unseren Kunden englischsprachig Sind.
This looks AMAZING! As a Sony FX3 & A7siii user, if you can add in some functionality to those cameras I think you’ll have a huge additional community buy-in for your product!
This is what many have been waiting for. Thanks to the original APC-R and its Accessories. Now that we have it all in one form factor chassis, I want to ask if you have plans for iOS/iPadOS control App? It would be very nice to use a virtual joystick on our iPhone/iPad touch screen. And using an iPad, in many ways we can have live camera feed and control App if you develop it.
Looks great!! Just wish the ethernet connection was on the bottom as it’s always going to be sticking out and physically pulling down on the port when plugged in. Otherwise, very nice design.
It was quite a big dilemma, because having the unit downwards also prevent usecases with the Tilta or Smallrig power supply base and reduce mounting options. If you want you can use a thin right angle Ethernet cable just like the video which you can run along the APC-R mini and then down.
