SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit - Newsshooter

SmallRig has a new Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit that is claimed to deliver accurate, and low-latency focusing control. This is clearly been targeted at entry-level users of mirrorless hybrids who want to run manual focus lenses.

The kit includes a wireless handwheel controller and receiver motor. Red and blue light indicators on the OLED display indicate connection status and channels.

According to SmallRig, memory storage embedded in the system eliminates the need to recalibrate lens travel and AB point settings. The motors have a 0.4 Nm torque output. USB-C ports on the handwheel and the motor power the devices and allow PD and QC fast charging protocols.

A built-in 1400mAh battery on the handwheel is claimed to be able to run the system for up to 21 hours.

The system secures onto your camera using the quick-release follow focus ring, 15mm rod clamp with NATO rail, and 15mm rod.

Constructed with high-quality ABS, silicone, and aluminum alloy, the kit comes with everything needed to get started.

The SmallRig Wireless Follow Focus Lite Kit is available to pre-order for $149.99 USD. This makes it a more affordable option than their existing MagicFIZ Wireless Follow Focus Basic Kit which costs $239.99 USD, and the Tilta Nucleus Nano II FIZ Wireless Lens Control System ($299 USD).
