868MHz camera control that feels like magic. This is the CE certified model for use in the European Union and UK.

Zero configuration. Massively configurable.

Plug bitbox directly into a tablet or camera with USB-C Ethernet support. Set your camera's IP to match the network and you're done.

Use your existing network with no additional hassle. Not even a config page. No more mesh units. No dongle required.

Pairing couldn't be simpler

bitbox includes multiple antenna options suitable for most camera builds. Want to expand the system with rental or borrowed units? Just press a button on each radio.

Batteries not included

With a sub-5 second boot time and minimal power draw, bitbox is a feat of efficiency. You won't need them.

Go loooooooooooong

bitbox gives you camera control with unreal range, even in the most congested RF spectra on Earth. We're talking 3 city blocks in Manhattan and way, way further in less-crowded areas.

You'll forget it's even there

With a svelte footprint and easy operation, bitbox will transform how you work without compromising precious real estate on the cart or the camera.

By pros. For pros.

We could have crammed an off-the-shelf board into a case and called it a day, but we didn't. bitbox was designed from scratch by cinema professionals with their own carts, builds, and workflows in mind. We optimized every aspect for maximal results with extreme simplicity and reliability.

bitbox is ready to deploy across a wide range of cameras and accessories.

No strings attached

Owning bitbox is as hassle-free as using it. No software, subscription, or proprietary hand unit needed.
