This system includes the Cinegears Wireless Hand Controller, The Cinegears Wireless Receiver, and the Wireless Lens Motors. The Lens Motors can fit both 19mm and 15mm rail systems. There is also the option to tether the receiver to the controller with a 4-pin Lemo cable. For ultra-quiet, high-torque lens control, the Cinegears Wireless Multi Axis Lens Control System delivers a complete solution that features remote record, interchangeable mounting brackets, and swappable drive gears. The industrial grade aluminum and steel alloy, allows mounting of heavier lenses while retaining its light weight. Meanwhile, precise machining allows the rail adaptors to fit snugly onto the bracket while allowing clearance for smooth sliding to make quick adjustments. Controllers and Receivers Multi Axis Controller With the Wireless Hand Controller, you can deliver a reliable signal from up to 100 meters wirelessly. For jib, Steadicam, or helicopter shots, the Wireless Hand Controller allows focus pullers to stand farther away from camera without compromising precision. Set up to four Focus, Iris, and Zoom presets with a single press of a button, same as the integrated record button. Instead of using a follow focus with limited lens control and mobility, the CINEGEARS Wireless Hand Controller lets you control focus, iris, zoom, and remote REC trigger wirelessly – all from one device. Wired/Wireless Receiver The CINEGEARS Receiver drives up to 6 CINEGEARS Lens Control Motors, as well as providing wired control, start/stop, and Stereoscopic 3D filming support. The Cinegears Receiver mounts to your rig on a rail by quick clamp and is powered using the 2-PIN 1B TO 2-PIN 0B CABLE.

Specifications Cinegears Multi Axis Follow Focus Kit - User Manual Instructions Materials The Follow Focus system is made from an aluminum alloy using the precision of CNC machining. The design also allows the drive gear to be installed on both sides of the lens, which makes it easier to have multiple drives. The product uses the latest technology from Japan, with an accurate and precise DC servo motor and the latest 32-bit high-speed control chips, these electronic and mechanical parts combine, perfectly, together to achieve excellent performance, smooth control, and precise positioning. Input The CINEGEARS Wireless Follow Focus has an input voltage range of +12V to 30V, there is also an automatic voltage regulator circuit inside the controller. The controller also comes with a single channel wireless remote REC trigger. The controller contains a lithium polymer battery that can work continuously for more than 20 hours on a full charge. Recharge the controller using a mini USB cord. Controller The controls have been designed for ease of use: They allow for preset memory points, where you can save up to four. The controller allows for, up to three types of automatic synchronization (focus, zoom, and aperture). The controller has an adjustable speed which controls the transition speed of the presets. The controller has an accuracy circuit built into it to ensure the lens stop precisely where you want it to, even after repeated use. Physical error is less than ±0.5 mm and it is mainly caused by the gap between the teeth of the gear. Motor Direction Press the indicator light briefly on the rear of the drive to change the spin direction of the gear to change motor spin direction. Instructions Gears and Rods The motor comes with a standard gear (teeth mold of 0.8, length of 314mm, width of 10mm or 13mm). It can be applied to various types of lenses. We also offer other standard diameters, from 39 to 45mm, modulus of 0.5, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 of the drive gear to fit all lenses. Size Motor Dimensions: 133 mm (height) x 72 mm (width) x 28 mm (depth) and weighs ~ 380 grams. Remote Control Dimensions: 115 mm (length) x 68 mm (width) x 32 mm (depth) and weighs ~ 400 grams. Synchronization Turn on the remote control power switch and plug in the motor. Once both are on press the Code button on the motor for three seconds until the indicator light will turn green. Then within 10 seconds, hold the SET and CODE button on the controller at the same time for 3 seconds, the motor light will blink, and the gear will shudder. This means that the controller and motor have been successfully synchronized. (Note: This process is usually done before leaving the factory.) Automatic Remapping 1) Before installing the drive onto the lens, please make sure the wireless remote controller and motor are powered on and connected. DO NOT turn the wireless remote control dial, put the drive gear close to the lens ring and tighten the screws. 2) The controller can automatically locate the start and end points of any lens. To calibrate your lens, hold the (SET) and (A) button on the remote controller for 3 seconds. The whole process can usually be completed within about 20 seconds. If the drive gear wasn’t installed close enough to the lens swivels during the automatic calibration, or the swivel lens does not have a start or end point, please refer to the semi-automatic calibration. Instructions Automatic Focus/Zoom/Iris Calibration SET + B (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Focus only SET + C (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Zoom only SET + D (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Aperture only Set Up Presets Go to the focus point of your choosing, press and hold (A) button until it flashes, your point is now set. Repeat with (B) (C) and (D) for multiple points. Press the same preset button to exit the preset mode. Changing the Motor Speed Between Preset Points Rotate speed knob on the controller to adjust the motor speed. Switching from Speed Response Mode to Smooth Response Mode On the controller, press (CODE) + (REC) + (A) (B) (C) or (D) at the same time will switch the motor to response speed 1 2 3 or 4 mode. Lower numbers are speed-priority and higher are smoothness-priority. Change Motor Spin Direction Press the CODE button on the side of the motor to reverse the direction of the gear. Remote Record Triggers Press (REC) on your controller to toggle Recording mode ON or OFF. Recalibrating your Controller Rotate the focus ring clockwise to the end; hold (SET) + CODE + (REC) buttons together for 3 seconds. Rotate to the opposite end and press the three buttons again. Instructions Manual Lens Remapping REC + B (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Focus only REC + C (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Zoom only REC + D (Hold for 3 Seconds) automatic initialization of Aperture only Press and hold (C) to rotate the lens clockwise, then press (A) to choose the start point. Press and hold (D) to rotate counter clockwise, then press (B) to choose the end point you want. Manual Calibration Specifically used with infinity lenses that have no start or end point. Now you need to do the calibration for focus, zoom and iris separately. First, Press the CODE and their corresponding buttons on the remote controller together for 3 seconds, (B for focus, C for zoom and D for Aperture). Then you will see A, B, C, D four lights are turned on. Then use (C) button or (D) button to control the lens. (Hold down the C or D key for more than 3 seconds it will automatically rotate continuously.) Once it rotates to the proper position, click the (A) button to set a starting point, (B) button to set the end point. At last, (A, B, C, and D) four buttons lights turn off to indicate the initialization has been completed. Semi-automatic Calibration You need to initial the focus manually, then initial the other two via a mixed mode.After the initialization of lens, the swivel will automatically shorten the distance for a slight amount to avoid the noise of crashing. The backlight flashes during the setting. The products are able to store the data in the course of sudden power lost and replacement of battery, you can still have the original data memorized and continue the operation once turn the power on. If the drive or Lens has been dismantled or replaced, or the corresponding position of gears has been changed, you need to repeat the initialization. (The data will still be valid when automatic initialization was chosen or having the same type of lens.) Instructions Buttons and Lights SET CODE (hold for 3 sec) parameters SET A (hold for 3 sec) ALL (focus, zoom and aperture) automatic initialization SET B (hold for 3 sec) automatic initialization of focus SET C (hold for 3 sec) automatic initialization of zoom SET D (hold for 3 sec) automatic initialization of aperture REC B (hold for 3 sec) manual initialization of focus REC C (hold for 3 sec) manual initialization of zoom REC D (hold for 3 sec) manual initialization of aperture During the manual initialization process, make sure A, B, C and D lights are on, use ( C ) or ( D ) button to rotate the gear to the position you want then use (A) and (B).
