Hi guys! Have you heard anithing about M-XL and Fujinon and Sony broadcast lense control? We do a lot of live broadcast with Flignt Head mini and that head can control the Zoom and Focus on those lenses. Will Movi XL be able to do it? David
Saw you never got an answer. I imagine you'd have to use external motors for lens control for broadcast lens and use the Movi controller. Im looking into the same usage. Keep us posted if you get or find an answer.
I have a similar request for information. I've contacted FreeFly and they informed me that they don't have any ability to integrate with lenses like Fujinon (We utilize the Panasonic Varicam LT with Fujinon 20-200 lenses). What they told me is that you would need to get independent motors to control focus, iris and zoom. In doing my research, I found that it is actually quite difficult to find a proper motor with the right number of pins to utilize Free Fly's FIZ controllers, but you can always add a redrock or another system and still control them using their remote controller.
Eric welcome to he forums. Would you be kind enough to change your user name to your real first name and last name, please? The reasons for this (and how to do it) are explained here: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/real-names.497/.
I got a reply from FreeFly, and as a previous post mentioned you would need to use external motors since they don’t have a cable or the api to interact with broadcast lenses. Also, I had a similar question about the Panasonic Varicam LT. I wanted to know if they had a start stop function, and they don’t have a cable for that either. I would need to rig my own up. With all these faults, I still believe this is the best system for my purposes, and I hope my company will invest in a product that will help in our productions.
