INTRODUCTION
PROAIM presents its new Drive One wireless remote follows focus system. It assists the camera operators in
adjusng the focus or focal distance (zoom) of the camera shoong remotely. The Wireless Follow Focus can
be used along with matching camera control gear like DSLR rigs, sliders, Steadycam kits, cranes/ jibs / dolly,
Easy Rigs etc. It allows the user to precisely operate the focus ring on a 35mm lens from up to 200 metres
away. The system provides a choice of 7 bands on which to transmit the encoded data stream, and two user
denable limits to calibrate motor movement or serve as focus stops. The transmier requires only a single
9V baery and the receiver ulises a standard 4-pin XLR for 12v power input, allowing the user to connect a
standard V-lock power, or use the provided AA baery pack.
