Chrosziel MN-150 MagNum Extendable Wireless Lens Control System

Chrosziel MN-150 MagNum Extendable Wireless Lens Control System

The MN-150 MagNum Extendable Wireless Lens Control System from Chrosziel combines a receiver and a handheld transmitter unit for remote control of focus and camera record start/stop. The single channel system operates at either the 2.4GHz or 430MHz frequency bands, offering five selectable channels in the 430 MHz band, and eleven channels in the 2.4GHz frequency band for interference-free operation. The receiver has ports that accept optional lens control cables, camera start/stop cables, and power cables. The system is compatible with optional motors with gears. An optional upgrade kit is available to convert the MN-150T single-channel transmitter to a MN-200T dual-channel transmitter, with expanded features such as remote iris control.

The hand unit features an ergonomically shaped handgrip and finger rest for comfortable operation, menu-guided intuitive handling through membrane keys, and a color OLED display. For focus control, a fluid-dampened hand wheel is provided, which spreads the focus range of any lens to one full turn of the wheel. Focus marks can be made on the marking disc, with two freely adjustable end stops also available. Five 1/4`-20 mounting holes on the hand unit let you mount it to tripods stands, or even attach monitors. It is powered using Sony NP-FM50 type batteries. Included with the MN-150 system is a Sony NP-FM50 type battery, battery charger, and two antennas for 430 MHz-band use.
