●
Ensure the neck strap is attached securely.

Ensure that the lens gear ring and camera lens
make good contact.

Ensure the lens gear ring screw is installed
properly to allow an unobstructed full range of
motion.

Ensure the motor is mounted firmly.
●
DO NOT touch the motor when it is rotating.
●
Cable mode will take precedence over wireless mode.

The motor will automatically reserve a 1mm margin at both mechanical limits for protection.
●
The motor gear can be mounted on either side of the
motor. To remove the gear, loosen the knob at the
center of the gear.
●
The motor supports a 15 mm rod diameter by default.
To mount it on a 19 mm rod, slide the step-down
adapters off the clamp.

You can purchase the dedicated CAN Bus cable on the DJI Store.
Turn on the remote controller by holding down the
power button for 2 seconds.
If your camera lens has mechanical limits, use Auto
calibration. Otherwise, use Manual-Remote or
Manual-Hand calibration.
DJI Focus is fully compatible with the Zenmuse X5 series gimbal and camera. To allow communication
between the two devices, connect the communication port on the Focus remote controller to the
CAN Bus port on the Inspire 1 remote controller using the dedicated CAN Bus cable.
