I power this unit w/ D-Tap power most of the time from a camera output, an Anton Bauer battery + plate w/ D-Tap outlet, or directly from a Lipo battery. Ive also used this system with 30 300mm zoom lenses, stiff cine lenses, and Canon EF lenses they all work wonderfully with what is a fantastic motor.
HOCUS FOCUS AXIS1 PLUS
The ability to start/stop with many cameras is also a huge plus as the operator (on the MVI) can seldom easily reach to stop/start most cameras as their hands are usually busy holding the unit. This is a hefty investment for most, but its one youll use for quite a long time to come. Veteran Hollywood ACs have given this the nod and one called it the Rolls Royce of single channel wireless focus systems. The build quality is flawless, the unit is plug and play and calibrates in under 5 seconds. This is clearly the single best wireless focus I have used in terms of performance and price.
Renowned DOP, Vincent Laforet, reviews the Axis1 on his blog Ive worked with every wireless follow focus system out there. This gives the user the freedom to use a separate focus puller, or a single operator when needed. With this new integration, the Axis1 receiver and motor can directly be controlled by the focus knob on the Freefly hand controller. In the past, this has required complicated and cumbersome rigs to mount a focus system to the MoVI controller. Hocus Products CEO Peter Hoare said In some shooting situations, the gimbal operator may also be needed to pull camera focus. The Axis1 system will be on show on the Freefly stand 9.B23 at IBC2014. This means that the Axis1 remote focus system can be used on the Freefly MVI M5, M10 and M15 rigs and controlled directly from the new Freefly MVI Controller. Freefly Systems, known for professional next-generation camera stabilization, have added UK Hocus Products Axis1 remote focus system control capability to their new MVI Controller.
