  The CINEGEARS Single-Axis Extreme Motor provides precise repeatable control of your focus, zoom, or iris ring, and it provides twice the torque as the Single-Axis motor and is suitable for use with prime lenses and even stiff zooms. It is compatible with an optional CINEGEARS controller, Single, Multi, Rocker, or Espresso, and ships with an interchangeable cine-style 0.8 MOD drive gear. It requires an optional power cable and rod clamp, which are available separately. You may use this motor to drive the focus, zoom, or iris gear ring on your lens. Once mounted, the lens motor will calibrate itself to your lens in a simple process. You can also manually remap your lens with the optional hand controller, and program multiple stops along the lens, simulating either hard stops, or focus positions. The motor direction is electronically reversible if you need to change the orientation of your motor, or are working with a lens that focuses in the opposite direction to standard cine lenses. The motor incorporates a LEMO jack for power and a LANC jack for camera start / stop.
  Wireless Control
  • The motor incorporates a wireless receiver that allows you to control it via your CINEGEARS Single-Axis Wireless Controller. An optional LANC cable / remote trigger is required for camera start / stop. An optional 2-pin LEMO cable is required to provide power to the motor.
  Metal Drive Gear
  • The included aluminum 0.8 MOD gear fits cine-style lens gears. The gear is removable, so you can swap it out for optional gears for video lenses and non-standard lens gears. The gear's motor facing surface is made from chrome-plated stainless steel, which matches the facing surface of the motor drive.
  Motor Function
  • The motor will calibrate itself to your lens and also allows you to remap the lens to your controller. You can program multiple stop points, especially useful when working with infinitely rotating lenses, or if you wish the set specific focus points on an optional focus hand-wheel.
  Reversible
  • The motor drive is reversible, which allows you to use lenses that focus in the opposite direction from standard without having to add a physical reversing gear.

• Single Axis Wireless Express Plus Controller The CINEGEARS Single Axis Wireless Express Plus Controller is a wireless follow focus controller that easily pairs with a CINEGEARS wireless motor. You can use the controller for focus, zoom, or iris. The controller operates on a frequency of 433 MHz, providing a range of up to 320' line of sight. The wireless controller and optional motor combination provide simple auto lens calibration and manual lens remapping for easy lens changes.
  
  The Express Plus Controller features a removable marking disc, a side mounted index marker with an illuminating LED for pulling focus in dim lighting conditions, and allows you to program up to four stop / positions. Adjustable physical hard stops on the controller are useful when working with lenses that do not have physical hard stops. You can adjust the transition speed for programmed presets, and with optional cables connected to your motor, you can control start/ stop for ARRI, RED, Sony, and Canon professional camcorders. LED indicator lights show you the status of the controller.
  • The wireless controller features an internal LiPo battery that can run the controller for approximately 20 hours on a single charge. You can operate the controller while simultaneously charging it. Charging is via a mini USB connector, and it supports input voltage range of 12 to 30 VDC.
  • The controller supports auto-calibration, manual calibration, and lens remapping.
  • After calibration, the end stops are automatically slightly shortened, preventing you from pinning the lens.
  • You can program focus pre-sets into the controller and then transition between the focus points at the push of a button with adjustable transition speed.
  • Manual calibration allows you to set close and far distance stops when using an infinitely rotating lens
  • The Express Plus Controller features adjustable hard stops that you can use to match the end stops of your calibrated lens. You can also adjust the stops to reflect the positions of the start and stop of your focus pull, so you can pull focus without looking at the controller.
  • The Express Plus Controller features a built-in LED that illuminates the area of the removable marking disk around the index mark, allowing you to more easily see your marks in dim or dark conditions.

The spacer is made of the same material, chrome-plated stainless steel, as the inside of the CINEGEARS metal gear to prevent gear stripping. Included with the gear spacer is an attachment screw, which is needed to attach your drive gear to your motor with the spacer in place. UPC: 743724114072
