How could it be better? The Nano 2 requires a person to "follow focus" while the Focus Pro does it on its own with LiDAR...

Id actually also love to see some competition in Lidar tech from brands like Tilta. Would be great for the solo shooters out there. Great video!

That would be great to see and have more options.

I love the Nano II system, but it has some issues: the readings @ home screen are pretty much useless, I wish telemetry included meters (or ft.) and not degrees. And why Iris info is not there and how come you can’t add values to a custom lens? I mean, focus is important but for me T-stops are critical. Camera library is still very limited. What’s s Tilta waiting for to add the LiDAR to the system? With all and all, it’s a great tool.

Whats the link to the tilta tutorial video? I am having problems finding it. Thanks! Great video!

⁠@@TheReelport, the fx 30 is a camera, not a lens. Stating, that the internal motor of wired lenses over a ff wheel would be a nice feature to be controlled, would have made sense. Context .. helps. Did you ever focus a wired lens? No good. Talking about wireless control of certain cameras was about camera settings and run stop.

Yes, so many settings! However a much more reliable and versatile system on set than the first nano system. I love that you can control focus and have zoom all working at the same time without having to change any settings during filming. Even when using my new Siri Jupiter 28 - 85 zoom lens, with my Zcam F6, the motors have no issues. What would be great is if it could also control the new DJI motors with the LiDAR attached! :)

I have to re calibrate it all the time. Sometimes the second motor does not work. It is really only a consumer product

I have a issue with 2 motors. Got it working and did not use it for a bit. Now I cannot sync one motor. I have power connected to the Iris motor, bottom. And top connected to the bottom of focus motor. Focus motor sync but Iris motor does not and it flashes. I can do the opposite too but not both motor together. Any tips?

Hi, can you elaborate on the zoom dislike? So far I haven’t experienced any quirks when using zoom. My only issue is trying to also control my nano 1 motor to be used for zoom and that has been a science project with a 20% success rate.😅

I can only assume the title is click bait...A cheap trick! This is in NO way a comparison with the Focus Pro, that's frankly a much better system and intergrates with the transmission system perfectly giving even better professional features...Oh and it is autofocus, the Tilta isn't.......Oh and it integrates really well with the RS4 and Pro Gimbal.....Oh and the focus assist unit is bigger and designed for focus pullers, it even has marker rings on it......Oh and the focus dial on the grip and the assist unit has forced feedback so you can control focus much more intuitively.....Oh and the motors are MUCH stronger meaning that it can control those heavy PL cinema lenses....Oh and so many more features....Need I go on? If you had actually compared the two systems rather than create the click bait title I think you would have struggled to find a single reason to opt for the sponsors of your video.

Well, 1 feature it lacks is that you cannot control 2 devices at once with only the attached hand unit to your camera if you are solo filming, without changing the settings on the menu. This can be problematic when you are concentrating on your subject and want to make adjustments quickly at the same time. We don't all have focus pullers on every set!

@@DavinaHaderI have been able to control two motors at the same time with the controller. My issue is that one of my motors is the nano I first gen and you have to really get a bit deep into the settings to get it working and it’s a hassle to configure every time I need that feature😫….But it is possible.

@@d_FLDE That's BS. For me it would be quite a game changer, and I know many solo videomakers who are damn excited about this. It basically gives you an extra free hand to hold your camera more stable. Or hold other stuff. I often have to shoot with only one hand to hold the camera.

@@stevegek … sorry. So I should have been more precise. To people who need cine lenses, shooting af is a gymmick. I can shoot af with my Komodo X but seriously would not touch it.
