About the Lens Apparatus
The Lens apparatus is a new hardware and software solution to provide time lapse and video lens control, designed to work as both a stand-alone system, as well as an add-on system for your existing motion control equipment.
Now you can shoot wide open and introduce accurate focus control and play with the Depth of Field and zoom as never before.
- Compatible with any standard 15mm rod system
- Built in suspension ensures the lens apparatus will move with the lens, instead of shoving the lens.
- Stepper motor for precise control.
- Rear mounted Stepper motor keeps the system out of view of even ultrawide lenses.
- Focus Gear uses .8 pitch gear to mate up with any standard focus ring gear.
- Black color prevents light reflections from casting unwanted light into the frame.
- Compatible with any standard 15mm rod system
