Stops working on a hot day

Initially I had some problems with pairing devices, but after setup it was not a problem. It feels comfortable and looks very good in the cinema. The micro USB connector on the reducer doesn't seem sturdy enough, but that wasn't a problem. It worked fine for a week, but the moment I was out on a hot day, about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the wheel block just froze and never worked again. Came back and bought a manual follow focus instead.

Pros
  • The Nano motor has its own built in drive that interfaces directly with the Nano hand wheel controller. This eliminates the need for a separate DVR in your setup, allowing for a more compact camera and reduced installation time. Just set the nano motor and nano handwheel controller to the same channel and you're in complete control. The wireless range of the nano hand wheel controller and nano motor is 300 feet!
Cons
  • Some difficulties
