Overview
Redrock Micro microRemote Handheld Fingerwheel Bundle with flexCables is a handheld bundle solution for you to control focus as a solo operator. The Torque Motor attaches to your rig and fits your geared lens while the fingerwheel attaches to your handgrip or other compatible portion of your camera rig for smooth, controlled focus pulls. The microRemote Basestation coordinates the fingerwheel and motor, plus it automates lens calibration, among other advanced controls.

Redrock fingerwheel
The Redrock Micro Universal Fingerwheel Controller attaches to your handgrip to provide precise focus control for your microRemote system. The Fingerwheel is designed for operators to easily control focus from any handgrip, handle, or camera-top bar. It delivers a full 270° degrees of rotation for all lenses (with built-in hard stops), smooth action with just the right amount of drag, and enables precise, accurate focus adjustment. Simply roll the Fingerwheel with your finger to make adjustments and smooth transitions.
Once mounted to a handgrip, the fingerwheel controller allows you to support your rig and pull focus simultaneously. You can also reverse motor direction with your fingerwheel.
microRemote Basestation
The microRemote Basestation can be mounted out of the way of your camera operation yet fully accessible. The Basestation controls all the major functions of the microRemote system:
- Lens Calibration
- Motor Torque Assignment
- Accessory Control
It features a wireless antenna, the ability to auto or manually calibrate, an accessory port, radio channel selector, plus a miniUSB port and 1/4"-20 mount point. The Basestation motor controller contains an auto-torque feature. With this feature you can calculate the ideal amount of torque for optimal performance.
You can mount the Basestation up to 18" away from your motor, depending on suitable cable length and your camera rig configuration.
microRemote Torque Motor
The microRemote Torque Motor is designe with a small footprint to fit your compact camera rig or your full studio setup. The Torque Motor includes a 15mm rod mounting clamp so you can mount it in any position to achieve optimal performance.
In addition, this Torque Motor can be adjusted with the gear placed on the left or right side to allow you even more configuration options. Since it is functional on both sides you will be able to use it with almost any compatible geared lens. Simply pull the gear out, position it on the opposite side, line up with the peg, then push firmly into place. Be sure the drive gear is fully seated and engaged before use.
