Ayrton Falconer is a remote followspot control system that pairs a broadcast-style fluid head with a camera-based workflow, so operators control moving lights from a base station while keeping the feel of a traditional followspot. An 18.5" Full HD touchscreen shows the stage and two ergonomic handles provide movement control. It works standalone or alongside a lighting console.

The camera view comes from a compatible Ayrton fixture with integrated camera (such as EagleStrike with the Enclosure with Camera Assembly) or from a separate Ayrton Horus camera.
