Heden M21VE-L Lens Motor Kit
The HEDEN M21VE-L 256 Lens Motor with Dual-Pin Hub is a powerful lens motor with a compact form factor suitable for gimbal and drone applications employing professional film and video broadcasting cameras. Compatible with HEDEN YMER, HEDEN CARAT, Preston, and FREEFLY MÅVI lens control systems, the M21VE-L 256 features a 7-pin 0B LEMO port that uses smaller, lightweight cables to connect to the controller and comes with a dual-pin hub, together with snap-on gear with dual-pin lock mechanism for added reliability.
The M21VE-L 256 mounts vertically on an optional 19mm rod without the need for tools, and you can also mount it on an optional 15mm rod using the included 15mm insert. The unit also comes with a 0.8 MOD gear that can be mounted on either side with optional 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 modules available separately, and it has a 1.0 Nm torque
PRESTON DIGITAL MICROFORCE ZOOM CONTROL
The Digital Micro Force drives the DM-1X and DM-2 digital motors. It automatically calibrates the motors to the mechanical span of the lens, preventing accidental damage to either the lens or motor. A bright LED bar graph displays the zoom position. Electronic limit stops can be set with the touch of a button. The soft stop feature allows the user to automatically slow the zoom a programmed distance from its end of travel. This is especially useful when doing a fast “snap” zoom, or when the user must both operate the camera and control the zoom at the same time.
Available Units: DMF 2 & DMF 3
PRESTON FIZ-3 3 CHANNEL LENS CONTROL
The Hand Unit 3 (HU3) is the industry standard focus control. Its advanced technology empowers the focus puller with a completely new set of tools to get tougher shots in fewer takes. Lens mapping eliminates the need to mark rings for each lens, greatly reducing prep time and standardizing all focus throws to five pre-printed rings, organized by close focus distance.

PRESTON FOCUS – IRIS CONTROLLER
The F/I features a bright LED bar graph display of lens position. End limits can be set with the touch of a button and are shown as illuminated bars. A tri-color LED is used to indicate wireless signal strength, along with red LED indicators for wireless channel, battery voltage status, and camera run/stop.
A soft urethane grip makes for comfortable all-day operation. Marking discs slide over the knob onto an index pin, so the user can know the current lens position without being near the camera. Power is provided by a standard FM-50 Li-Ion battery, allowing for approximately 8 hours of operation.

PRESTON LIGHT RANGER 2-M
The Light Ranger 2 is the first and only focus assist system designed for modern high-resolution cameras. The LR2M incorporates an infrared distance measuring system with 16 distinct measurement zones, allowing the focus puller to visualize the depth of an entire scene without looking away from the monitor. In this era of shooting the rehearsal, the LR2 provides focus pullers with innovative tools to accurately judge focus distance in even the toughest shooting scenarios.
PRESTON MDR-3 4 CHANNEL MOTOR CONTROLLER
The MDR-3 accepts commands from Preston Hand Units connected via the rugged G4 wireless link or Command cable, and controls up to four digital motors and camera run/stop functions for film and video cameras.
