Simply put, less servos = less weight.Ģ Axis systems control 2 x servo motors which control both focus and iris controls wirelessly.
The main advantage of single channel WLCS systems are that they are lightweight due to the on-camera receiver (or ‘brain’) being small and only 1 axis control means that only 1 servo motor is required. The F, I & Z (in Focus, Iris & Zoom) explains the initials of the popular Preston FIZ3 WLCS systems by the way! The first question to ask is how many channels or axes will be required?Ī single axis WLCS system will only control focus a 2 axis system, both focus and iris and a 3-axis system will control Focus, Iris and Zoom. Section 1: Fundamentals 1 axis, 2 axis or 3 axis? Summary of Wireless Lens Control Systems.Introduction to the basic principles 1/2/3 axis, single or multiple handset control, film/DSLR lenses.This is a complex subject to introduce in a single document, so in order to make it easier to read, we have broken this down into 6 sections and each is a hyperlink. This article aims to explore this question and introduce the range of WLCS systems which VMI considers the best in their field and explain why we think that they work very well in given scenarios. However compatibility is not universal across all makes or cameras and with so much variation in cameras, lenses and Lens Control Systems, how do you choose between them? Another trend is towards camera & WLCS brain integration, so that less external modules are required on camera to make systems work, affording greater efficiency. One such development is to offer compatibility with both film and now also DSLR lenses. Whilst the traditional systems continue to be popular, their functionality has been developing and there has been an explosion of new solutions in the market. Wireless lens control systems (WLCS for short) have changed enormously over the last 10 or so years and have evolved from being a luxury option on a kit list to becoming a necessity on virtually every shoot.
