Hocus Products Axis 1

Description

Hocus Products has come out with a simplified remote follow-focus that calibrates much easier than a Bartech or Preston without sacrificing quality. A dedicated 2.4ghz data stream communicates between the receiver and transmitter for zero latency, and this unit has a line of sight range of 100 meters. The weight of the motor and reciever is just 1.05 lbs, which makes it perfect for Movi, Ronin, or Steadicam shots.

"This is clearly the single best wireless focus I have used in terms of performance and price. The build quality is flawless, the unit is plug and play and calibrates in under 5 seconds. Veteran Hollywood ACs have given this the nod and one called it the "Rolls Royce" of single channel wireless focus systems. You can’t ask for much more than that. I’ve also used this system w/ 30~300mm zoom lenses, stiff cine lenses, and Canon EF lenses – they all work wonderfully with what is a fantastic motor. I power this unit w/ D-Tap power most of the time. --"Vincent Laforet"

• Full size 355 degree fluid drag focus knob, with conical ring.
• Very high resolution sensor.

• Intelligent automatic unit pairing prevents a second unit on the same channel
adversely affecting the operation of the first unit.
• Incredibly fast and responsive, with no visible latency.
• Unparalleled motor speed and response with our new Reflex A Focus motor
• User definable soft stops on the hand unit to limit the range of the lens
• Hand unit runs on Canon LP-E6 lithium ion battery, about four shoot days
can be expected from each charge.
• Two way data flow between receiver and hand unit
• Full digital 16bit transmission
• Very simple and robust system with very compact receiver unit.

The motor is faster than any other wireless follow focus motor I have ever used, and the clamp is amazing, just 1 turn, and you have it secured to your rods. Will turn a full sized cine lens like the Xeen series without issue.

Tripod was in excellent condition and Colton was very helpful in being flexible around our schedule (since we were driving in from Atlanta earlier that day.) Highly recommend
