Hedén YMER-3 Hand Unit
YMER-3 wireless F/I/Z with LenSaver Calibration™
The Hedén Ymer-3 is a high-end wireless control system for Focus / Iris / Zoom that has been designed to be dependable. As you would expect from a Hedén product the motors and the motor control is very precise and direct with no lag.
The system has unique functions that make the system very easy to use, like: LenSaver manual calibration, a much safer and easier way of manually calibrating. Manual override that makes it possible for an operator to take manual control of the lens without removing the motor or recalibrating the system. Lens mapping on focus, makes lens changes quick and easy. ( Mounting points on the transmitter makes it easy to attach other devices. The motor control is very accurate and with the new Hedén motors M26VE-LX and LM30 the response and top speed is extremely fast, all in a small package and with high torque. Lensmapping, on focus only and initially in feet. The wireless transmission uses a very robust automatic frequency hopping technology without the need to set, and change channels manually. The range is up to 500 meters /1600 feet, line of sight.Specifications

Veracity Control Wheel System
Professional Control Solution for Camera Operators and Cinematographers. With the recent explosion of RC based Camera Gimbal systems and Drones, we believe it has become important to design a system from the ground up for Professional Cinematographers and Camera Operators. Our 25 years of combined Film Industry related Robotics Engineering and On Set camera experience has enabled us to create a field proven solution that is currently in use on major film sets. The Veracity Control Wheel System is a fully Stand-Alone wheels solution for RC Camera applications. The system plugs into the standard Trainer Port on Most RC controllers from Spektrum, Futaba, Movi, Graupner and others with no added latency. Veracity is designed to be powered by any common on set DC power source and has intuitive Gear Ratio and Direction Controls. Custom CNC Machined Handwheels mounted on precision shafts with Ultra High resolution encoders provide for smooth operation and perfect balance. All this Packaged in Sealed rugged aluminium housing with flexible mounting options, you can be up and running in less than 10 minutes from out of the box.PLC Veracity Control Wheels & Maxima 01
