Remote-controlled follow focus

Description:

A wireless FIZ lens control system for remote focus, iris and zoom operation. Suitable for feature films, commercials, gimbals, Steadicam systems and other cinema camera setups.

Details:

The Nucleus-M II can wirelessly control up to four motors simultaneously, allowing a motorised ND filter, for example, to be operated alongside focus, iris and zoom. Lens Mapping stores lens focus, aperture and zoom data, enabling faster, more precise work for the focus puller.

The new motors are more compact and faster, with greater torque than the previous generation. The FIZ hand unit has a focus wheel with adjustable resistance, and certain cameras also support remote ISO, white balance, shutter speed and recording start/stop control.
