- Description
- A focus controller designed for studio cameras. It lets you smoothly adjust the camera's focus using handles on the tripod, so you don't have to touch the lens directly. The controller sends electronic commands through a USB connection to the camera, which then adjusts the focus automatically using the lens's built-in mechanics. It has two USB-C ports, allowing you to connect a separate zoom control device in a chain, so both can work together with just one USB cable to the camera. The buttons on the controller can be customised to perform different camera functions. The controller comes with a mount that attaches securely to the tripod handles. The product is packaged in a cardboard box with polystyrene/foam inserts.
