Chrosziel MagNum 300 3-Channel Wireless Lens Control System with BTM Digital Motor

A pinnacle of precision and control, the MagNum 300 3-Channel Wireless Lens Control System by Chrosziel stands out as an innovative solution for filmmakers and videographers seeking high-quality, professional-grade equipment. This robust system allows for the precise actuation of up to three digital motors, ensuring that focus, zoom, and iris adjustments are smooth and accurate.

The MagNum 300 builds upon the foundation set by the MagNum 200 system, incorporating the MagNum extension module for the added capability of controlling a third motor. This comprehensive kit includes a 2-channel motor controller with a third-channel extension, three high-quality digital motors with cables, and all necessary mounting hardware. Additionally, the package contains cabling for power and VTR/talkback connections, all housed within a durable, protective carrying hard-case designed for the rigors of on-location shooting.

The MagNum Lens Control System is celebrated for its astounding new concept in remote lens control, featuring unsurpassed ergonomics that provide comfort during long shooting days. The system's reliability is bolstered by its Dual-Band frequency selector, which ensures stable transmission. The intuitive, menu-guided operation is displayed on a color-OLED screen, making adjustments quick and easy.

Chrosziel has optimized the MagNum system in cooperation with industry professionals, focusing on both ergonomic and functional excellence. The system is available in three versions, starting with the basic MN-100 MagNum Single Channel, the upgradeable MN-150 MagNum Extendable, and the fully equipped MN-200 MagNum.

Key features of all MagNum versions include an ergonomically optimized hand unit that is symmetrical and equally comfortable for left-handed operation. The compact size of both the transmitter and receiver, combined with their lightweight design (262g for the 2-channel receiver and 577g for the fully equipped transmitter), makes the system highly portable. The system operates in the globally free frequency band of 2.4 GHz and includes four freely assignable hotkeys, a spectrum analyzer to identify the best transmission channel, and the ability to calibrate lenses directly with the receiver.

The handwheel is fluid-damped, providing a tactile and responsive feel, and features an electronic "Hold" function to capture and maintain settings. An indicator LED on the receiver displays all functions clearly. The system also offers a magnifier function for precise focusing at near or infinite distances, the ability to spread any lens range to one turn of the handwheel, and the choice between using a scale ring or scale disk.

For camera control, the system includes a record start/stop signal, adjustable motor power, a USB port for firmware updates, and a battery level indicator for both the camera and hand unit. The hand unit also boasts 5 x 1/4"-threads for mounting options, a rechargeable Sony FM 50 Li-ion battery, and a charger.

The two-channel version of the MagNum system offers additional benefits, such as a Dual-Band-System with selectable transmission bands in the range of 430 MHz or 2.4 GHz, a combi-socket for connecting to common TV lens demands, and a motor power amplifier with an internal booster adjustable up to 30 Volts.

With its versatile compatibility with 15mm rods, 19mm rods, and universal video & film lenses, the MagNum 300 3-Channel Wireless Lens Control System with BTM Digital Motor is the ideal choice for professionals who demand durability, versatility, and the utmost in lens control precision.
