Description
The Chrosziel Zoom Servo Drive CDM-LWZ3-Z for the Zeiss LWZ.3 21-100mm lens contains one digital servo motor, the gear and a PCB with CPU in one single housing.
The mounting of the Zoom Servo Drive makes the operator’s workflow comfortable. Just three captive screws are needed to mount it onto the Zeiss Lightweight Zoom (LWZ.3). Controlled via Sony smart grip or any other LANC hand grip Until today, zoom servo drives were operated either by the inbuilt zoom rocker or external zoom devices.
A second handgrip controls the camera settings or user commands. Both units are separated from each other and cannot be operated by one single hand. With the CDM-LWZ3-Z Chrosziel was able to unify both functionalities into one single unit. Supported are the smart grips of the Sony PXW-FS5 and Sony PXW-FS7 or any LANC compatible zoom rocker. For operation, the power cable is connected and the two Jack cables with the handgrip and the camera. Once powered the zoom servo drive calibrates automatically the end stops of the lens. To further support the operator’s piece of mind Chrosziel implemented.
