Neal Norton Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi Simon: The Preston FIZ is the most used wireless lens control system and is the first choice of most A/C's. The FIZ is accurate, robust and reliable. It would be very unusual for an FIZ system to be rejected as a rental in favor of another system. If you were to ever sell your FIZ there is a ready market for used Preston Systems. Neal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Weidner Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Simon, Both units are incredible and have their own pros and cons. The biggest difference I see in the two units is simply geography. In the USA, Preston is standard. If you are in Europe, then WCU4 would be more common. I do like that I can control the entire Arri camera with the WCU4 which is something that isn't possible with a preston. At the same time, Arri makes cameras, lights, support equip, etc whereas Preston only makes WFF units. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
