MotoCrane Lens Control Motor (LCM)

Description

MotoCrane Lens Control Motor (LCM)

The MotoCrane Lens Control Motor (LCM) is a high-performance, precision-engineered motor designed to provide seamless and accurate remote control over a cinema lens’s focus, iris, or zoom functions. Specifically integrated within the MotoCrane TITAN series stabilized remote heads and other advanced motion control systems, the LCM ensures buttery-smooth, repeatable, and responsive lens adjustments during dynamic camera movements.

In professional cinematography, precise lens control is as crucial as stable camera movement. The MotoCrane LCM is built to meet the demanding requirements of high-end productions, delivering silent, powerful, and highly accurate operation. It’s an indispensable component for remote head setups where manual access to the lens is impossible.

Key features and benefits of the MotoCrane Lens Control Motor include:

• Precision Control: The LCM utilizes high-resolution encoders and advanced motor control algorithms to ensure extremely accurate and repeatable positioning of the lens ring (focus, iris, or zoom). This prevents hunting or overshoot, delivering perfectly smooth transitions.
• High Torque, Silent Operation: Engineered to provide ample torque to drive even the stiffest cinema lenses while operating with minimal to no audible noise. Silent operation is critical for maintaining clean audio on set, especially in controlled environments or during quiet scenes.
• Seamless Integration with MotoCrane Systems: Designed to work flawlessly with the MotoCrane TITAN LT and TITAN remote heads. It typically connects directly to the head’s integrated lens control ports (often via robust Lemo or similar connectors), streamlining cabling and ensuring full compatibility with the MotoCrane control ecosystem.
• Standard Lens Gear Compatibility: Features a standard cine gear (e.g., 0.8 MOD) that meshes perfectly with the focus, iris, or zoom rings of virtually all professional cinema lenses.
• Rod Mounting: Designed for secure attachment to industry-standard 15mm or 19mm camera support rods, allowing for flexible positioning on the camera rig to optimally align with any lens.
• Reliable Performance: Built with durable materials and robust construction to withstand the rigors of frequent professional use and the dynamic forces encountered in vehicle-mounted or crane operations.

The MotoCrane Lens Control Motor (LCM) is an essential remote head accessory and a vital cinema lens control solution. It empowers cinematographers to execute complex shots with precise lens adjustments, contributing significantly to the overall quality and artistic intent of high-end film and television productions using MotoCrane motion control systems.
