Can this tool replace a focus puller?
Today we're diving into my experience using the DJI Focus Pro on a few different projects. The pros and cons of using this cinema lens autofocusing system, and whether or not it can replace a focus puller/1st AC. You'll see in the video how there are certain limitations to the DJI Lidar Focus system, but how for certain types of projects it could be a great fit for your production. Thanks for watching as always :)

    I have the Focus Pro with the Irix T1.5 set and it tracks perfectly at T1.5 for me. Using it with a C400 and it compares to the C400 + RF L series 85mm f1.2 when focus tracking. C400 has more focus options other than people, and low light is better when native Canon AF glass.

    Attention : It’s actually not correct that you can use DJIs larger handgrip batteries. They do fit the Focus Pro and they even work somehow BUT they actually have a higher voltage than the B20 battery which they sell with the Focus Pro. If used with the larger batteries this can destroy the circuits of the Focus Pro. DJI hardly documents this, but the focus Pro system even gives an incompatibility warning when connecting the bigger batteries

  • @pomanprod
    @pomanprod 3 місяці тому

    My Experience - Cannot replace a good human focus puller. Cannot even replace Sony AF-C. It is a good first iteration; subsequent iterations need to match or be better than the Sony AF-C, especially how smooth the focus response. I have had the DJI Focus Pro Creative Combo for 2 months now. #1 - not as good as Sony AF-C with the Sony a7S3 or the A1. #2 - Wide is much better than Flex Spot. #3 - Battery life sucks (as I record 5 hours straight) but the expansion plate (DJI or Tilta) will work for a D-tap power supply. #4 - Focus response must be at 1 otherwise it looks robotic.

      @Horizons_Roses 3 місяці тому

      Yes, if you look at the 4D the first firmware were asking for 3 points, and the latest only two just like the Focus Pro. I don't see DJI putting much effort or aknowledgement on this system. I'm afraid its all gonna be "we sold it and we forget about it" a no further support.

      @@workingturtle3701 for sure. I attached a 15mm rod on top of my camera going out over the lens and extending to the mattebox. Then I attached the lidar camera to that, so it just peaked above the mattebox enough for it to see the scene. The only downside is that you then can’t use a flag with a mattebox to cut out flares, but otherwise it works great!

    Love this. For object tracking, you have to put it into flex mode and click the trigger to lock the focus tracking. Works great dependent on the object. The LiDar is actually suppose to work even better in low light, cause lidar doesn’t need light as it’s working on a different spectrum of light. So it may of been your settings!

    • @tuckerkanderson
      @tuckerkanderson 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching and for that info Cam! Interesting to know about the focus tracking. Can it lock onto a particular part of the frame like DJI's drones and track it the same way? For the low light, I thought the same thing (that it was supposed to work well), but I just found it to be hunting way more than in normal lighting conditions. I just kept the settings the exact same as when it was working fine during the day, so not sure what I should've changed there. Just sharing my experience, but maybe I wasn't using it entirely correctly!

That's my finding as well, even with the flex mode and the click, it just can't track well. You mentionned 2 types of battery, on my unit, if I use a larger battery (a RS4 pro one) I got a message that says that I cannot use this battery otherwise I will damage the unit. You don't have that ?

      "cause lidar doesn’t need light as it’s working on a different spectrum of light." what? No, lidar doesn't need light bc it shoots out infrared, it takes in that information and then focuses based on what it receives. In other words lidar doesn't need light bc it uses its own light source
