Description of πŸŽ₯ Came-TV Astral High-Torque Wireless Follow Focus with Camera Controller and Microphone

The CAME-TV Astral 2.4 GHz Wireless Follow Focus System wirelessly control the focus, iris, or zoom of most DSLR, mirrorless, or cine-style lenses. The CAME-Astral core of the system is the pairing of the focus control motor and the focus handwheel. The units can connect to each other from 328' away using a 2.4 GHz wireless signal. The CAME-Astral controller features a built-in marking disk and an OLED display that provides battery level, connection, calibration, travel, and memory information, and its menus can be navigated using the buttons on the controller. The CAME-TV Astral motor features an 0.8 MOD gear and can operate at a high-torque, 0.5Nm speed at a maximum 250 rpm. It has a mini-USB port that allows you to connect a camera for run/stop remote control or update firmware with a separately available cable. It is calibrated by a simple automatic process that can be saved to memory. The CAME-TV Wireless Follow Focus handwheel is powered by a built-in 1000mAh LiPo battery that lasts up to 8 hours on a full charge, and the motor is powered by your camera or external battery via the included D-Tap to 6-pin LEMO-type cable.

Great Wireless Controller for Camera Enthusiasts

As someone who loves electronics, I was excited to try out this wireless controller for my camera. It did not disappoint! The high torque ensures precise control, and the microphone was a welcome bonus for capturing clear audio. The wireless feature gives me more freedom to move around while still controlling my camera. However, it was a bit glitchy at times and required resetting. Overall, a fantastic addition to my camera accessories collection.

Pros
  • Wireless control allows for greater freedom of movement during filming.
Cons
  • Difficult to use for beginners due to multiple buttons and settings on the controller.

Fantastic accessory value

I only gave this 4 stars because of support issues and no self help videos on youtube if you can't sync devices. The instructions are incredibly simple and there are no setup or troubleshooting videos. How can you be a film supplier without the help of VIDEO?!

Pros
  • The CAME-TV Wireless Focus Tracking Handwheel is powered by a built in 1000mAh Li-Polymer battery which will last 8 hours on a full charge whilst the motor can be powered by your camera or an external battery via the included D - Press on LEMO type 6 pin cable
Cons
  • Some cons

Fantastic value for money for the best lens accessory

I only gave 4 stars because of support issues and missing YouTube self-help videos if you can't sync devices. The instructions are incredibly simple and there are no setup or troubleshooting videos. How can you be a film supplier without the help of VIDEO?!

Pros
  • The heart of the CAME Astral system is the focus motor and focus wheel combination. Devices can be connected to each other via a 2.4 GHz wireless signal up to a distance of 100 m.
Cons
  • Almost never
