Middle Things APC-R Mini Lite Gimbal Controller

The APC-R Mini Lite is the wired counterpart to the APC-R Mini, built for the same job of turning a DJI gimbal into a remote camera head, at a lower price by leaving out the wireless radios. A USB gaming joystick or dedicated controller still maps to gimbal movement through Middle Control software; what is gone is the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and built-in tally light that the full APC-R Mini carries.

It connects over Ethernet and powers from USB-C or straight from the gimbal's RSA port, and matches the full Mini's 54 gram, 9.5 cm body. Blackmagic camera control is still available through ATEM switcher integration over SDI or HDMI, so a wired operator loses the wireless convenience, not the camera-side control.
