The HD Handle is the common modular component of the ZistosHD family of pole camera inspection products. It houses all of the controls, power, and WiFi transmitters for the system to function. The HD handle attaches to any ZistosHD camera pole or cable on one end, and the battery module is seated in the handle on the opposite end. The ZistosHD handle is designed with an ergonomic hand grip and offers easily accessible and intuitive keypad controls. These features allow the system to be operated by a single individual, with a minimal amount of training on system use and function.
The 9-button keypad on the ZistosHD handle module is designed to be actuated by the operator’s thumb. The 9 buttons include; Illumination Up & Down, Zoom In & Out, Motorized Pan Up & Down, Special Function, Snapshot and Record Video Start/Stop (see above image for button locations). The special function button’s purpose will vary with system configuration. The ZistosHD systems also offer full control redundancy. All of the keypad control functions are also available for the operator to select using touch screen menu overlays on the display module.

The rechargeable batteries that power the system reside in ZistosHD handle. The rechargeable L-ion batteries offer extended run-times. They also feature an integral LCD display that can alert the operator on the battery charge levels – even when the system is powered off (Learn more about our batteries here). The handle also contains the system’s WiFi radio that is configured with dual antennas. This design feature optimizes wireless performance and maximizes transmission and reception range.

Other communication accessories are available, such as a hardwired connection adapter cables and our optional WiFi bridge module. The WiFi bridge allows our system to connect with other external wireless networks. The various wireless and wired communication system options increase the overall system capability. They allow the video images to be viewed and shared by individuals who are both local and remotely situated.
All in all, the ZistosHD Handle is the module that allows full-control of our systems. It houses the control actuator buttons, power and transmitters needed for system function. Its impact resistant, lightweight and ergonomical design make all of the ZistosHD systems highly effective and easy to operate.
