Arri SXU-1 Lens data

[Simon Bengtsson]

Hi everyone!

 

I will get my hands on the Arri SXU-1 System for the first time and i was wondering a bit about lens data.

Is it possible to get lens data to the hand unit with a SMC-1 motor controller or do i have to step up to the WCU-4 system?

 

We are on a budget and i can't afford the WCU-4 and it is not entirely necessary to have the lens data, it would be nice though :P

 

And if anyone used it before, how does it handle? Are the CLM-4 Motor strong? I will be using Zeiss HS mkIII and a LMB-15 mattebox (clip-on).

 

I've hade some issues with heden motors that aren't strong enough to pull the lens barrel, especially in cold weather.
