With tactile feedback for camera switching, it’s intuitive and comfortable for extended use.

Packed with enhanced features, including improved access, configuration, and joystick calibration, it’s a powerful, affordable solution shaped by user feedback for greater control, comfort, and reliability.
All Day Comfort

Expanded Screen, Instant Camera Control
With a large screen that lets you monitor up to four cameras simultaneously or focus on one in full screen, seamless pairing and effortless switching are just a button press away. The improved tactile feedback ensures smooth, intuitive transitions at your fingertips.
Camera Setting Sync
An industry-first feature: effortlessly tune one camera to your exact preferences and instantly copy those settings to another camera of the same model (BirdDog X series function). Simplifying camera setup and elevating your production to the next level.
Direct Access to Key Functions
No more endless menu diving. KBD brings you straight to the essentials. With its streamlined layout, operators can access camera pairing, switching, and configuration in seconds. It's all there, clear and accessible, thanks to user feedback that’s shaped a truly user-friendly experience.
Super-Fine Control Mode
When it's time to fine-tune, just shift the camera joystick into 'fine-tune' mode, increasing the sensitivity of the joystick by 10x, making reframing shots in the air more artistic flair than nail-biting scare.
