Moritz Moessinger Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I am currently prepping for a new project which basically asks for a precise zoom on different locations to be able to seamlessly match-cut in between the shots. Does anyone know if the WCU4 Zoom /Speed is precise enough or is there a better Lens-Control system which is able to do a simple zoom with a set speed that can be triggered remotely? Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyryll Sobolev Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 you can use a preston microforce, or radio microforce for wireless option (but you need an MDR for that, so basically renting an entire preston kit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moritz Moessinger Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 thank you for the help! do you know if an ARRI WCU4 does the trick as well. I guess if the programmable speed is precise, I should be able to set a min- and max point as well as a slow ramp and just press the zoom knob to the maximum right? Since the time for post is limited, I am concerned if the zooms don't match up completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyryll Sobolev Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 i have not used wcu4 for that purpose. in theory, yes that is how it should work, but i don't know for sure. do a test before you shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
