[328' / 100 m] Wow this has transformed the way I use Ableton. I am using it in conjunction with Isotonik's Launch Control XXL script and it lets me use all the pots to MIDI control 24 parameters per instrument or effect. So fun.

[4 x 3 x 2"] At first I was a bit causes to get it cause my aim was to go for the Lidar Pro bundle. But since it’s still new, places are out of stock and here in South Africa, we struggle to get tech like this. But B&H, I am more than happy about this product, delivering was on point as expected and professional. My Nisi Lenses can enjoy getting pulled haha.

[200 mAh] Great for programming all sorts of performance controls for Ableton Live.

[0.32 lb] 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.

[3.6 VDC] I just did a shoot with a set of Sirui Anamorphics on the C70 and this thing was a dream. It nailed focus on everything. I even used it at sunrise in a super dark scene were we could tell if we had focus, even with peaking on. It nailed it. I can't recommend this thing enough. Brilliant piece of gear and the perfect add on for the Ronin 3 Pro.

[Lithium-Ion] Recently started doing some VJ work and grabbed this to pair with Resolume Arena software for functions for visuals to the different buttons/knobs/sliders. It works great and its sturdy. The rubber grib on the bottom keeps it in place and there is just enough tension/resistance in the sliders/buttons and knobs to not feel loose or worn out. I also Grew up playing any instrument I could get my hands on but living in an apartment in NYC its not as easy to get away with playing trumpet or some of the louder instruments and I had never used Abelton Live but with this Controller it made it pretty easy to just jump right in.
For the price especially this is a great starter piece or addition to your current set up.

[0.32 lb] 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] 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.
