- Camera operators using manual zoom lenses
- Worth noticing
- The handle stays wired to the bridge; only the command from the bridge to the lens motor is wireless.
Field notes
The proposed setup keeps the camera handle connected to the bridge by cable and sends commands wirelessly from there to the lens motor; the motor itself needs separate power. The page lists three motor families in testing and marks the Sony FX6 as in testing, while the FX9 is planned. It also says the enclosure is not final and that compatibility and specifications remain subject to confirmation.
