Kevin Ross Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Priced at $5,995. The Service Vision Scorpio Focus is an ultra high quality wireless digital cinema lens control system for Focus, Iris, and Zoom - i.e. FIZ. The hand unit can be connected to the motor driver box wirelessly (most common application) or wired. The motor driver box then is wired to the motors to control the lens. The hand unit has a focus wheel that can accept marking discs, iris slider with marking strip, and zoom potentiometer micro knob for iris - though any control can be assigned to focus, iris, or zoom as desired. The information display shows menu items, speed, total meters/feet counter, last take counter, signal coverage indicator, low battery indicator, camera status, and zoom position scales. Motor drive box can accept power between 11-30VDC. The hand unit is powered with NP-FM50 style batteries. Lenses are automatically calibrated either by connecting motor cable to motor or from the hand unit menu - this can be saved on memory when disconnecting the equipment. It is possible to add a second hand unit in master-slave mode. Two motors can also be synchronized or even six motors two-by-two when adding a second motor driver box, plus one can rescale mark by mark the second focus in regards to the first - so this is ideal for 3D applicaitons. One can set limits for any FIZ movements. Can also run camera start/stop control from the hand unit. This system is very versatile, with brackets, gears, driver cables, and power cables available for nearly any camera/lens configuration you can imagine. This includes 3x motors - 1x SB 92 (5101) digital motor and 2x standard S.C.O.R.P.I.O motor. One of the motors is a "clunker" and requires repair to work normally. The other two motors work very well with no problems or backlash, though note that they have re-glued cable connectors (which is cosmetic only in nature). So consider this a 2 motor kit, with a bonus motor which could be hypothetically be repaired if desired. This is a fully loaded package which includes: hard carrying case with custom foam, 4x motor cables, 3x blue Arri bushings, 2x gold Panavision bushings, 2x rod brackets for motors, bracket/shield and handle for hand unit, 3x genuine batteries, 2x generic chargers, a large collection of markings discs (all have marker on them which needs to be cleaned), a wide assortment of gears for many lens types, 4x motor cables, Arri run/stop cable, Arri power cable, zoom-iris command 6-pin cable, and misc parts/screws/antennas. This is a well-used system that has seen some time on set. It has heavy paint wear and brassing. There is velcro and electrical tape affixed in many areas. Some connectors are re-glued securely. Though there is no damages and it is mostly in good clean presentable shape if one gets past the mentioned cosmetic wear. This is fully tested to be in good working order. Reset to factory settings and calibrated. The only functional issue is one of the three motors is for parts/repair. Otherwise, this is a good working 2 motor system. Buyer is responsible to add any brackets, gears, cables, or other accessories as needed for their specific configuration if not included or pictured here.
