Hello, great video. Very informative! I just have a question, do you know of any solution to pull focus / Zoom remotely. I would like the gimbal on a high tripod with a long lens. Yet want to zoom in and out via the phone or game controller. Struggling to find a solution. Thanks

@writedirect

Hey man - the Ronin app allows you to control the focus motor that comes with the RS3 Pro. I've used this a lot to pull focus. However, it will not show you the image, so you're doing it via measurements and such, which is normal 1st AC work. But if you want to see the image as you focus, you'll need to have a remote monitor setup as well. DJI has solutions for that, but it gets pricey. I've also just run a long HDMI cable from the camera to a normal PortKeys monitor. That can work, just not as flexible.

I guess I can attach this small focus wheel also on tethered handle? I really like how you are calm and nice. This is 2022 version? How it will work on zoom ring? Thank you!

(Tamron 17-70 on Fuji X-H2S) If I set the front wheel to panorama, for example, as in your example, unfortunately nothing happens with the separately purchased focus wheel. Although it lights up green, the focus motor shows no reaction. The front wheel set to focus motor works. I'm at a loss.

Hey! Here you go... 1. Yes, you need the Pro version. If you don't have that, I'd map the front dial to focus pulling. If you've got the gimbal set to pan follow mode, then you can control side to side that way. 2. You can control the follow focus with the DJI app on any iOS device (and prob android but haven't tried that) but you obviously can't see what you're focusing on. But you could have a remote monitor. DJI also has RAVEN EYE which is a higher cost solution that looks pretty slick. 3. If you check accessories with SmallRig or Tilta, one of chose companies will probably have something that will do what you're after.

The focus motor is for cinema lenses. Cinema lenses are all manual focus and designed to work with follow focus rigs that the 1st AC controls on set. These lenses also don't have "infinite" focus rings like a normal photography lens. There are hard stops at either end of the focal field. What type of lens are you using?

Typically you’re using a mic & field recorder to get your production sound. Or running a mic to the camera. If you’re using this for run and gun documentary type stuff, I would mount an external shotgun to the camera cage and position as far forward as you can. But most follow focus systems that are motorized are going to make some type of noise. The assumption for filmmaking is that you’re not positioning the mic by camera.

Excellent! Just got an RS3 (not Pro) and no matter what I do, there is no connection to the focus wheel via usb-c. I set the menu correctly. Is it necessary to have RavenLight?

Regarding DJI: remove any confusing component for them. So take the problem down to the minimum. And make them fix it. The focus motor is a very basic operation for that gimbal. It shouldn’t have an issue. Do you send the focus motor in with the gimbal? I’d include both in case it’s some weird issue with that component.
