Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the DJI Focus Pro Lidar be used with the DJI Focus Pro Grip only? I have a DJI RSC2 but want to use it without a gimbal.

A: The DJI Does not support the RSC2 gimbal. But you could consider the Focus Pro handle kit which will will work as a stand alone solution, no gimbal required. DJI Focus Pro Creator Combo BH #DJFPCC • MFR #CP.RN.00000404.01

Q: 2. Will this system work with the DJI Ronin 4D?

A: The DJI Ronin 4D has its own Lidar system and follow focus built into the camera. It has not been testes and would be redundant.

Q: 3. How well would this work with an 85mm lens?

A: The PDMOVIE LIVE AIR 3 Smart LiDAR Wireless Focus Lens Control Kit (Basic) works very well with most focal lengths, including 85mm.

Q: 4. Does this track objects on an RS3 Pro unlike my current lidar that only tracks faces?

A: The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR does not offer any tracking features. It tracks distances only.

Q: 5. Is it possible to run a Tilta Nano Nucleus focus wheel with this system?

A: The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR would not support other brands of follow focus solutions. It would only work within the DJI ecosystem.

Q: 6. The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR can be use without a gimbal just attach to the camera?

A: The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR cannot be used as a standalone unit. To use the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR, you will need a compatible DJI gimbal or the DJI Focus Pro Creator combo, which can be found here: https://bhpho.to/4f3KnSG.

Q: 7. The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR is compatible with Cinema Lens only?

A: The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR was designed to be used with cinema lenses, but it could also be used with electronic focus photo lenses when using the DJI Follow Focus Pro Motor (https://bhpho.to/4hg1BNY) and the included DJI Focus gear strips.

Q: 8. Can one turn on/off auto focus without first focusing at minimum focus?

A: The PDMOVIE LIVE AIR 3 Smart LiDAR Wireless Focus Lens Control Kit PDL-AFX-S/PDL-AFX-RA-S must rotate the controller to the position where it stays to activate or cancel autofocus. Therefore, PD Movie generally recommends that users only set 4 autofocus lens data, leaving a blank channel for pure manual wireless control, which will not be interfered by the controller staying at the position of the nearest focus point. If you want to switch between manual and automatic control through button commands on the controller, or motor, it is not possible. In essence, it also does not support completely seamless switching between manual and automatic. In addition, there is a new model being release PDL-AFX-RA-SP next month which is a purely manual wireless control mode, which can be set independently.

Q: 9. Can the motor reversed to work with Nikon F lenses?

A: During the calibration process, the PDMOVIE LIVE AIR 3 Smart LiDAR Wireless Focus Lens Control Kit will determine the direction of the gearing.

Q: 10. Is there alternative mounting brackets? Eg to attach 1/4-20 from below? Or 15mm rod four so the rod is above the lidar

A: The DJI Focus Pro LiDAR, with its cold shoe foot, can be alternatively mounted. Here is a possible mount: the Niceyrig 15mm Rod Clamp with Cold Shoe Mount (B&H # NI426). You need to get the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR close to the lens plane.

[200 mAh] I'm now very impressed since recent firmware update V00.00.0050. I'm using it with the Lumix S5IIX and Sirui Venus 50mm t2.9 1.6x lens and the focus tracking locks on human subject and tracks it quickly and accurately. I'm now blown away on how well this now work!

[3.6 VDC] Had the Tilta Nano before. Like this better overall. Less wiring to deal with as well. And the LiDAR focus works great and is a life saver if shooting without a 1st A/C. Have the basic kit (not the stronger motor model) and still had enough torque to rotate smoothly all my cine lenses. Kit comes with few extra batteries, which helps also.

[200 mAh] So I was hesitant to pick this up because I was considering the nucleus nano (great price) as well as the DJI LIDAR for the Ronin-3 pro (which I don't have, but read it could be used separately.) 

Here's why I went with the PDMOVIE Live Air 3 Smart Lidar. 

Price and included accessories. While the batteries and charger seem/feel a little cheap, they work just as intended and for long. 

Has Lidar. When researching, the nano nucleus II didn't have Lidar, which I wasn't opposed to, but the DJI Lidar obviously did have it which was a plus. The caveat is that the DJI lidar requires the transmitter and some breakout box that adds another $1200 to the cost of the already expensive lidar ($700 or so.) I was not about to drop $2k for lidar only and no focus wheel. 

With the PDMOVIE I could rely on the focus wheel or the Lidar. And at a shoot, both worked really well. It worked with my bright tangerine misfit atom matte box WITHOUT the shade/visor (only the Matte box itself, not the rubber piece) but I did have to make sure the lidar was facing in-between the clamp and the tightening wheel of the matte box. It worked really well on my 16-28mm VISTA lens and Komodo-X. The tokina Vista 25mm was a little more difficult because of the field of view but it worked. If I had slightly smaller lenses, this wouldn't be a problem at ALL.

For talking head shots, there was no issue at all. For tracking shots in the dark, I could say the same, but I had to frame just off center to the left so that the lidar could SEE. But then I could use the focus wheel which switches off auto focus and lets you quickly control the lens without much, if any, lag.

Anyway, for $500, it's a good quick solution to have for those talking heads, or jobs where you're running and gunning. My ONLY gripe about it is the batteries and chargers were made from molded plastic and not rubber. At least they last long, though!

[Lithium-Ion] This is an an amazing tool of you have to do solo or low light shoots. No more worrying about whether what you're shooting is in focus. I have used their 3d focus, but this is autofocus for manual lenses, on overdrive.

[200 mAh] Small and very lightweight. Easy to calibrate, but sometimes have to remove battery to re-calibrate. The thin controller that goes with is brilliant.
And on/off switch would help. It’s tricky to figure out to push the battery to the side.

[0.32 lb] I love this guy, because you can save time filming motion scenes without need services of focus puller guy.

[Lithium-Ion] Love this FF. Great kit for run & gun or higher end productions. It has served well on all of my shoots! I'm a big fan of the app as well, that adds an additional dynamic that I really appreciate.

Great workhorse.
