Creative Conners, Inc., creators of the popular Spikemark™️ stage automation software and Stagehand motion controller, are excited to announce the release of Spikemark Pendant v2. New features and improved durability are keys with this next-generation handheld device that makes automation load-ins easier.
In this video overview from Creative Conners, Product Engineer Kody Green from Creative Conners leads a video overview of the new Pendant:
The original Spikemark Pendant, launched in 2018, proved instantly popular in the live performance industry for moving automated effects during load-in and work calls. The simplified touchscreen interface coupled with physical controls empowered operators to move any machine on stage with portable handheld convenience. Based on customer feedback, Creative Conners developed the new version to be faster, easier, and more rugged.
Spikemark Pendant v2 speeds up automation load-in and improves safety. Using the touchscreen interface, select any machine, or group of machines, on the stage. Move the selected machines or groups with the variable-speed joystick, incremental click-wheel, or by entering a target position in feet, inches, or meters. Indicator lights and the onscreen status reporting gives automation operators confidence to move effects quickly and safely while standing near the action. Learn more at cci.fyi/getpendant.
