Pros:This section is shorter, but carries more weight. First and foremost: I had quick response from customer support. They got me pointed in the right direction to fix a couple of issues I was having. That's a huge plus in my book. Tons of features. Decent touch screen. Bigger screen (and decent image) than most for previewing the camera feed. Single button presses to switch cameras and to switch present views. Our previous controller required 3 button presses for one action.Cons:This is only the second joystick controller I have used, so my experience is limited but my first impression is that there does seem to be just a slightly longer delay between moving the joystick and seeing the change of view on the preview screen. I don't know if that's a function the controller or protocol or camera, but our older and cheaper quality controller seemed a hair faster. Outside of that, my only other two complaints are minor: In some parts of the touch screen menu (like the URL field), it brings up a virtual keyboard making it much easier to type in the value you want/need, but in other parts (like the Name field) it does not - leaving you to use the telephone style keypad to toggle through the characters to enter. I think it should always present the virtual keyboard to enter custom values. The other minor thing is that I wish when you were previewing the camera feed that it would at least temporarily show a setting when you are changing it. For example: If you want to change the speed of the zoom or pan/tilt motions while in preview, you can certainly change them, but you do not see how much you are changing them. unless you go back to the Cam Info screen.

Great product, and great customer service will be purchasing another

Review for AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with 5-inch Touch Preview LCDI couldn’t be more impressed with the AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller! This controller is an absolute game-changer, offering smooth, precise control with an incredibly intuitive 5-inch touch preview LCD that makes camera operation seamless. The build quality is solid, the responsiveness is excellent, and the interface is well-designed for both beginners and professionals.What truly sets AVKANS apart, though, is their exceptional customer support. Their team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about ensuring you get the best experience possible. Because of this outstanding quality and support, I’m planning to purchase more AVKANS cameras to expand my setup. If you’re in the market for a professional-grade PTZ controller, this is the one to get!Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I needed a responsive PTZ control for live streaming. I thought the joystick would give me responsive control, but when I tried it I found the joystick to be extremely sluggish. There is a 1 to 1-1/2 second delay after moving the joystick until the camera moves. Then when I release the joystick the camera continues to move for 1 to 1-1/2 seconds. When I use the on-screen controls in the NDI tools app the response is immediate, so it is not a camera issue.Update: AVKANS support suggested changing the protocol to VISCA-IP. After changing the protocol (a tedious process putting in IP addresses) the responsiveness of the joystick was greatly improved.

I purchased the AVKANS Pro PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with high expectations, but unfortunately, it did not meet my needs. The 5-inch touch preview LCD, which was a significant selling point for me, exhibited noticeable lag and glitching during camera movements, making real-time monitoring challenging . This issue persisted despite attempting firmware updates.RedditAdditionally, the controller's compatibility with certain camera protocols was limited, leading to inconsistent performance across different devices. The build quality felt subpar, and the user interface was not as intuitive as advertised.Given these issues, I cannot recommend this controller for professional live streaming or video production setups.

Recently bought this controller. It was not only delivered before due that, but the packaging was excellent. Using the controller was very easy. Easy to operate and easy to setup. I did run into a small snag as I couldn't control one of the Visca IP cameras. The others are NDI. I contacted the AVKANS team via email and they were very prompt to answer. They guided me to what I was doing wrong and the problem was solved. An excellent service team that actually responds and are keen to resolve your questions. I highly recommend this product if you have a small studio or are using it in a house of service. We went from Xbox controller to this AVKANS Joy Pro. It has changed our lives.

This is my second Avkans PTZ controller and it work great. I haven't had any problems with it. It found my cameras without a problem and controls them without a problem

This is an amazing controller. I have tried them all and this one is the best. It automatically find each camera with no problem and configure for you...no brainer...easy touch screen and e asy to learn all the controls. Once setup all you have to do is touch and go. Go ahead check out the rest, by far this one is the best on the scene right now and for a long time to come. It has all the protocals including NDI. Hooked up 5 NDI's to it with no problem plus visca, sony, IP all of them are there. If you use a lot of cameras in your streaming this is the one to buy...no other can even come close.
