This System is based on the electronic control system of our Hands-Free Magic Drawing Board and is now the same as TWIST-A-TRONIX product. We use a strong mouth servo in this for the puppets, and the mouth plates and head is smaller to fit into puppets. You can do both Balloons and some Axtell Puppets with this device!

We think it's spectacular. Hands-Free LITE is really simple and doesn't try to be something it isn't. If you are looking for our top of the line Hands-Free full featured animatronics look here. Hands-Free Lite has 2 movements Mouth and head. It meets a budgetary need and still gives you WOW like you expect from Axtell Expressions when you use our puppets. All servos make some noise when they work, but we have use sound dampening materials on them to help reduce it. Your best distraction from servo sound when performing is to have the character talk loudly when the mouth servo is moving, and use background music. In your SHOW when the character comes to life and is talking, the audience is just having fun being entertained.

YES it can do both LIVE Remote Control and PROGRAMMED modes (record or program movements in sync with voice using your own laptop, and playback using any mp3 player or laptop! ) You can learn more about the specific programming procedure HERE in this video showing Twist-A-tronix they share the same method.

The Remote Control Transmitter is diguised as "Pet Food" or "Magic Dust" to bring your puppet character to life!

This control armature works with many Axtell puppets!
(puppet not included, but you probably already have one!)

BOTTOM ENTRY HF LITE - PUPPETS THAT WORK
Works with a variety of tested Axtell puppets. Many of our classic Birds: (Vern, Verna, Dodo, Buzzard, Buffy, Benny, Parrot, Cockatoo, Rooster & Chicken, Crow, Vincent Vulture, Starter Toucan) and a few of our Animals: ( Raccoon & Possum, Skunk, Squirrel, Cheeky Monkey, Bongo Gorilla). We will be testing more and adding to the list but only some puppets will work. If they are fitted tight to your hand with foam padding they will not. If you restrict the mechanism you can burn out the servos, so only go with our tested puppets!

BACK ENTRY HF LITE - PUPPETS THAT WORK
Dazzle Duck, Dragon, Dino.... more will be tested.

It is only 2 channels: head left and right, mouth open & close, remote control live or Program your own animatronic show to playback anytime! This is not upgradeable to more than 2 channels and is not upgradable to the Hands-Free Animatronic Puppets. This is a LITE system based on the electronics of the Hands-Free Magic Drawing board. If you want a more professional robust system with many more features check out the Hands-Free Puppet systems here!
