How easy is this to transfer from handheld/tripod to a DJI gimbal? I use IRIX lenses which work great with the RS3 and focus motors, but not so great when you want to switch to handheld/tripod for part of a shoot. It would be great if you could just pull it off the gimbal and put onto a tripod or handheld

@DynamicPhil84 3 ай бұрын

I'm very intrigued by this new system from DJI! As someone who is getting more into KZfaq and filming myself, I really prefer to use manual focus cinema lenses as I just love the look of them. But not having autofocus when filming yourself is really tough sometimes. I held out on buying the LiDAR rangefinder for my RS3 Pro because I was fine pulling focus manually when shooting other subjects. But when it comes to filming myself, I don't want to have to setup a gimbal on a tripod and waste time balancing lenses. Not needing the gimbal, having autofocus on a manual focus lens, and the beautiful grip and wheel system... yeah, I'll probably end up forking up the cash for this one!

Hey! Great video, awesome job. I'm curious, since you're able to power the focus pro via V-mount/external battery. If plugged in externally, does it work without the grip attached? Would be awesome to attach it to the Tilta Ring grip to use as follow focus, it would be much smaller without DJI's battery grip attached.

I was considering using this on my Canon R5C even though it has auto focus in camera settings, as well as AF mode on Canon RF mount stills lenses, it actually does a decent job. However I still have 0.8 mod pitch geared lenses from DZO, which will come in handy using the DJI Focus pro unit. 🎉 A win for those that have manual lenses that can autofocus on the fly.

Can you use the same lidar sensor with something like the RS3 so you CAN use a gimbal with the same system or go with this handheld? I would love this system for my films because I don’t usually use Gimbals for things like that, but I love the tracking with the Lidar/Gimbal combo for events when the speaker moves around and I’m a small crew (often by myself). I wouldn’t want to get two whole systems if I can get the one LiDAR sensor, then different accessories to pair with it as needed in different scenarios.

Typically units like the DJI don't usually do well with all the wireless interference you'd find on proper sets (terradeks, wireless DMX, or WiFi in general). Might save a lot of 1st ACs some money! I will say though, none of this is terribly new except some of the LiDAR stuff, but this definitely makes it more accessible... That price man... under $1k while Arri or Preston units are typically above $20k!
