Remotely control your lens s focus with Chrosziel s MN-150 MagNum Extendable Wireless Lens Control System. This system includes Chrosziel s upgradeable MagNum transmitter and receiver as well as the necessary power and cabling accessories to use the unit right out of the box with the included Chrosziel CDM-100 digital motor. The MagNum unit is compatible with motors that use a 7-pin LEMO interface.
For easy operation, calibration is automatic with lenses that have hard stops. If you use stills lenses that don t have stops at close focus and infinity, a special calibration mode allows you to manually calibrate the focusing distance. To adjust the settings on the MagNum, an OLED screen and directional buttons provide an intuitive interface. Record start/stop can be controlled from the hand unit if the camera is connected to the receiver.
The hand unit is upgradeable for a second degree of lens control. The upgrade kit is separately available and adds a sliding control and a marking stripe to the left side of the transmitter.
Ergonomic Handheld Transmitter
Compact in size, the transmitter has a rounded handle with a finger grip on the rear so you can hold it securely while operating. The transmitter houses an internal 2.4 GHz antenna and has a BNC spigot that will accept an external 434 MHz antenna. The focus knob has a brake and adjustable hard-stops for repeatable focus pulls. The hand unit has an integrated spectrum analyzer that can determine the best frequency for transmission.
Dual-Channel Receiver
With dual outputs, the receiver can drive up to two motors that connect via 7-pin LEMO. The receiver is capable of calibrating motors to the lens without the aid of the transmitter. When connected to a camera via the serial output, start/stop can be remotely controlled from the transmitter.
Hardware Upgradeable
A separately available upgrade module can be installed for controlling a second lens parameter. When installed, the hand controller will gain a sliding adjustment encoder with a marking stripe that can be operated with your left hand.
