4. Introduction
The cPRO hand unit is the wireless hand-held control unit of the cPRO lens control system with
an integrated red-coded cmotion radio module. With its user friendly and intuitive interface the
cPRO hand unit is lightweight and sets new standards in both design and ergonomics.
The focus knob oers an ergonomic grip with a ngertip concave mold and mechanical hard
stops.
6 user buttons provide quick access to cPRO’s extensive features. Iluminated key elements
(focus marker ring, iris slider strip and buttons) oer ideal operation even in dark environments.
The capacative touch display shows live lens and camera information.
The asymmetrical design and comfort grip keeps the hand unit balanced in your hand. Several
well positioned mounting points provide options for third party accessories including quick
release mounts, monitors, etc.
With optional network licensing, up to three cPRO hand units can connect to a cPRO motor /
cPRO camin for split focus, iris and zoom operation (available with Software Release Package
v2.0 / license required for each hand unit). Real-time lens data is available when used with the
cPRO motor / cPRO camin.
Using the LBUS interface, the cPRO hand unit can be hard-wired with up to three additional
cforce motors and other ARRI / cmotion control units including the pan-bar / steady zoom,
ARRI LCUBE-1, LCUBE-2, ARRI Master Grips or cnder III.

4.1. LBUS connector
LBUS is a bus standard designed to allow multiple lens motors and control devices to
communicate with each other. Up to three cforce-type motors can be chain-linked in a row.
Each cforce motor has two identical, bi-directional LBUS interfaces providing power and
control signals to the motor. For hard-wired operation the cPRO hand unit can be connected
to the daisy-chain through its LBUS interface using any LBUS to LBUS cable.
4.2. CAM interface
The cPRO hand unit does not have a CAM interface itself. But, the CAM interface on the cPRO
motor / cPRO camin is also a fully functional LBUS connector. As such, it allows multiple
lens motors and control devices to communicate with each other through K2.0015760 Cable
CAM (7p) - LBUS. Using this cable the cPRO hand unit can also be connected to the daisy-
chain through its LBUS interface for hard-wired operation.
In addition, the CAM interface on the cPRO motor / cPRO camin oers a versitile interface
for camera control. There are several camera interface cables available which, depending
on the camera, oer start-stop control with feedback, camera status, tally and even camera
control. (License required to control camera settings / available with Software Release
Package v2.0).
If a camera is detected in the LBUS daisy-chain, camera data and camera feedback will be
displayed on the cPRO hand unit.

5.2.1.1. Mechanical hard stops
The cPRO knob has two mechanical hard stops, which can be adjusted freely around the
knob barrel. The hard stops allow you to move the knob between two focus positions
precisely.
In oder to adjust your long focus distance
- match the desired long focus distance position to the datum line of the knob
- open the thumbscrew on the upper hard stop and slide the hard stop around
the knob barrel until it hits the panic button.
- lock the hard stop position by turning the thumbscrew clockwise
In oder to adjust your close focus distance
- match the desired close focus distance position to the datum line of the knob
- open the thumbscrew on the lower hard stop and slide the hard stop around
the knob barrel until it hits the panic button.
- lock the hard stop position by turning the thumbscrew clockwise

5.2.1.2. Panic button
The cPRO panic button is a unique feature of the cPRO hand unit. It allows you to
overwrite the mechnical hard stops without adjusting the predened focus range. E.g.
when shooting the slate outside of the predened focus range, or the actor misses their
mark.
In order to override the mechanical hard stops temporarily, simply press the panic button
and dive underneath the desired hard stop.
In order to disable the mechanical hard stops, press and turn the panic button clockwise
or counter-clockwise. To re-enable the mechanical hard stops, press and turn the panic
button back to its 90° home position.
5.2.1.3. Pre-marked focus rings
In order to save time marking your focus rings for each lens, the cPRO hand unit oers
ve imperial and ve metric pre-marked rings. Each ring is engraved with a scale from
innity to one of ve close focus values and can be used with a wide range of lenses from
wide angle to telelphoto. For more information please refer to section “6.2.3.2.1.3. Pre-
marked rings” on page 39 in this manual.
5.2.1.4. Datum line
The datum line is the reference mark on the knob. It illuminates with the knob scale
illumination. Its brightness can be controlled in the “Knob brightness” menu.
5.2.1.5. Knob illumination and status LEDs
The knob scale can be illuminated individually through the “Knob brightness” menu.
The status LEDs for the knob are built into the scale illumination, which gives you direct
feedback of the status for the knob axis.

three pre-marked strips. Each strip is engraved with a scale from close or 22 to one of
three wide open iris values. For more information refer to section “6.2.3.2.2.2. Pre-marked
strips” on page 40 in this manual.
