The Hedén YMER 1-Motor (M26VE) Lens Control Kit is a focus or iris control system with wireless transmission up to 1,640' (500m; line of sight), and optional wired control via LANC. A dedicated camera record run/stop button starts and stops recording from a distance (when the receiver is connected via an optional R/S cable). Mounting points on the transmitter makes it easy to attach other devices and accessories.

 

The YMER's 3-step LenSaver Calibration feature is a unique way of calibrating your follow focus system. Simply press the calibration button and move the lens by hand from end-stop to end-stop, then press the button again. LenSaver Calibration is easy, fast, and safe for use with all lenses.

 

Manual Override makes it possible to take manual control of the lens without interfering with calibration. Smooth rotary movements of the control knob with adjustable resistance provide a haptic connection with total control of lens movements. Features adjustable limit points for easy focus from A to B, and precision mode for extremely fine control over an adjustable range.
