  The CINEGEARS Multi-Axis Motor provides precise repeatable control of your focus, zoom, or iris ring, and is suitable for use with both prime lenses and most zooms. It is compatible with an optional CINEGEARS Multi-Axis Wireless Receiver for use with your CINEGEARS Multi-Axis Wireless Controller, and it ships with an interchangeable cine-style 0.8 MOD drive gear. It requires an optional LEMO power / control 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 5-pin LEMO jack for power and motor control.
  Wireless Control
  • The motor requires connection to your CINEGEARS Multi-Axis Wireless Receiver via an optional 5-pin LEMO cable for power and control. The wireless receiver works in conjunction with your CINEGEARS Multi-Axis Wireless Controller allowing you to control your Multi-Axis motor wirelessly.
  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.
