I really appreciate the DJI Focus Pro content! It seems like not very many are continuing coverage on the actual use, functionality and integration into gigs now that the units are actually starting to get into people’s hands - it was just a slew of promo stuff announcing the gear unfortunately - so as a system owner I really appreciate your content.
Hey, I'm using the Focus Pro with a Red Pro Zoom 18-85 lens. No issues whatsoever, if your flange and lenses are tuned right - and the lidar distance is measured correct, I just calibrate my lens at 85mm (1m and 4m away, flex spot selected on the lens target prior lens cal), and it basically works like a charm. Two things to note - the Pro Grip focus wheel lag can be avoided using the FIZ controller to focus during calibration on the Pro Grip (it overrides it), second - I tend to use my Nucleus M handgrips to control zoom (with M motors of course) - one set to joystick + joystick speed, second set to zoom on a knob for faster crush zooms. Still, it's hard to set A/B points on Nucleus M even - they tend to some why slip after being applied.Thus I just recal my motor and stop it with a hand while calibration at marks that I need, if limited range is crucial to be precise. Also I've noticed that on low or high angles - if the lidar unit is placed over mattebox - it tends to miss focus closer than 1.22m, while it does not when the camera attack angle is straight. I've come to the conclusion that it happens due to the lidar sensor being physically closer to an actors face compared to the lens (remember, it's over a 4x5,6 mattebox, several cm difference from the lens center). For static low angles, say, on a lo-hat - I just slide my lidar distance to a lower number, usually 40-60mm depending on the lens size and mattebox size. That's pretty much it
Overall I dig the Lidar itself, the tracking, the focusing quality (it's better than I've expected, however, in some situations is slower than manual focusing - like on crush dolly moves), I hate the screen size (it's too small to tap precisely, usually I just angle my camera at something I want to focus on, pull the trigger, and it tracks it), the cables that DJI are selling are way too short - I do use an extension cable for better cable management (other cables won't fit into the Pro Grip physically), the motor mount is way better than 12mm previous one, but still way too far from a normal mount like Nucleus M motors, and lacking 19mm support. The app calibration is limited to preset lenses, you can't do manual cal on lenses that aren't in the app, and the lidar to sensor distance is somewhy limited to only 300mm - which is way too short for any bigger lens with a mattebox on it (say any Ana over 100mm, or any standard zoom lens like 18-85 RPZ, 18-80 Arri Allura etc) - and this limitation is silly, I hope they will allow at least 500mm, and release longer cables (which BH say they can't, but literally it works using extension cables, so wth).
And yeah, whoever was designing the system is def. not familiar with film sets, because lots of things on the user side are just made wrong - the cables (maybe angled ones will help, I will try the angle adapter to see if it will work), the Pro Grip mount (limited to nato, when puchasing I was sure it's some nato adapter on a standard arri rosette - which it appears it is not), the lidar still not having proper mounting options (maybe someone will come up with a cage, so you can slap it on to a magic arm or other 1/4 or 3/8 with arri locating pins accessory, or even a nato rail), the power management is weird - the Pro Grip is 7v, but all-in-one kit comes with a d-tap to usb-c cable which is unregulated and people fry their grips etc etc etc. They definitely have to hire a better person on the camera rigging side to make things proper, because right now it's so limited and it's such a shame - this thing is so awesome to have this kinds of stupid omissions.
I just had a travel job with extremely limited crew (me + AC) and I chose the SDR specifically because of the WiFi so I could have the director monitor off their iPad. That way we didn't have to worry about wrangling extra cases, batteries, etc. and it worked great!
Sorry to hear you catch strays over getting it early. I appreciate the knowledge you share, it helps me make informed decisions. I finally got my Focus Pro Combo in a week ago. So excited to test with the Remus set this weekend. I ordered this set and it's already here so not an issue like the focus pro 2+ month wait. Cheers.
I’m happy with the DJI DSR budget transmission version.I have come to the point that with all these “Tools” I get inundated with all these different menus,it gets so complicated sometimes,with the menus of the cameras,monitors,recorders,TC generators,zoom controls,Lidar,Mic’s,Gimbals,sliders etc. that it get’s to the point that you spend more time dinking around than get some clean video and audio.The manufactures keep you busy :-)Great video by the way,always like your content
great video. well done. yeah my 1st AC isn’t in love with the high bright monitor as he gets much better focus tools through his smallhd monitor. i guess has much more control of aperture / peaking / black & white peaking etc options that make high end / critical focus pulling all the better one HUGE question. how on earth do you have time to shoot for social / YT while you’re working? when i’m directing/ DPing i’m so time poor there’s no way i have time to capture b roll for anything! impressive 😊
Yeah the HBM is more of a drone or gimbal monitor rather than some for film production. Haha As for filming content I read the room often. I rig an instant 360 to my camera or focus unit and I let it rip. Or take out my phone when there is time in-between setups. Or I ask a PA to film haa. The nature of our work leans on sharing content 😅
the SDR seems perfect for basic use - certainly a huge step up from the raven eye... But I've got all the lidar and focus pro kit as well, so the $2500 transmission system is still the only thing that really makes sense to get the best return on investment.
How did you find the WiFi stream, when I transmit to the receiver and try to connect my iPhone at the same time, the WiFi connection is so choppy no matter how far I am away from the transmitter. How do you use the receiver and WiFi at the same time and get good performance? I need to test with my iPad tomorrow but so far the WiFi for me when using the receiver at the same time is unusable.
Also.. zooms. If you’re having any issues with it AF.. Need to use the 2X zoom on the lidar. And also keep it in wide mode. If you do flex mode, it might give you issues. The issues are coming from the zoom blocking the lidar views. Hence the 2X will help crop it out. The real fix is to mount the lidar motor closer to the front of the lens so there is nothing in its FOV.
@@CineDailies yup yup! Obviously this will only work with parfocal lenses. So you want to use the same traditional workflow. So we were using the Laowa nanomorph zooms with it, obviously it’s limited in distance but works great within its boundaries. So, my AC put a kondorblue cold shoe adapter on the front lens support, which basically put the lidar front and center on the lens. From there, since it’s a parfocal zoom.. when calibrating it I would zoom all the way in, then calibrate it. From there it would hold focus after calibrated. Obviously, you already know this, but you have to make sure that the zoom AND adapter are shimmed correctly for the parfocal zoom to properly work. Otherwise the lidar focus is jsut gonna keep drifting. Its a beautiful setup tho once it’s nailed
Thanks for the review. 2 points, 1. UK marketing says (at 30-10-2024) 3km range but they don't tell you thats for the FCC version...... CE version for Europe and lots of other parts of the world is 2km. 2. The DJI assistant once you have registered and done software update does not recognise when you plug in the TX/ RX again for you to check on latest software updates. I had in mind using a VPN set to an FCC country to update and hopefully get FCC advertised range, but alas not.
One of my gripes with the SDR is that it can’t power the phone or iPad that it’s connected to That introduces way more usability and rigging issues than might be immediately obvious. The other would be that, at least as of writing this, it isn’t recognized as a webcam when plugged into a computer
@@CineDailiesNo, unfortunately it isn’t recognized as a webcam when plugged into a Mac. The DJI Transmission monitor shows up as a webcam when plugged in, although it has a whole other set of problems. I’ve tried to use it to send a camera feed through zoom to remote clients, but for some reason the zoom feed is several stops darker than the actual video. Ultimately ended up using a blackmagic capture card to bypass this issue, but would really love better usb connection functionality
How did you find the video quality on the SDR kit? It seemed like it was transmitting 8 bit video instead of 10 bit? I got my unit and started testing and was immediately confronted with banding on the video unit...two different monitors (SmallHD & Ninja) didn't show the banding when connected directly to the camera, but the moment the signal went through the SDR...banding...
Hey thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. I have a question, are these units able to control REC START/STOP when connected to a camera VIA HDMI? My thought was to be able to use the ronin app to record start stop the camera when it is mounted from from my physical position.
I wish you could have more than just two marks (A and B) on the Focus Pro Hand Unit, like you can on the Nucleus M. Hopefully that can just be a firmware update
I spoke with someone from DJI re calibrating lidar with cine zooms and they said you have to input each focal length you'll be using for it to work. Bummer!
Thoughts about throwing both units on the same camera? Pro for the DIT/AC to see the camera info screen with the log image, and the sdr for all the other departments to connect to via WiFi with their own devices. Basically using the sdr as a servpro would traditionally be used?
@@gusthecanonrebelit does not and DJI replied on my tweet about it that it is not possible due to „technical limitations“. Such an bullshit fr. It was so good tracking a car while mounted on a car mount.
Great review. It's always good to see a review in relation to real world application, which is not all that common on YT, so thank you! I recognize you have a "day job", but keep 'em coming when you can! +sub 🙂
Hi got a question, I am looking to purchase this system, I currently use an A7Siii and an A7IV, I use a alien hydra rig ( I do a lot of car cinematography) My main question is, can I connect my cameras to a Apple tablet and have all the camera functions on the tablet ? Just like the OG DJI transmission ? Main reason I really need this to be honest, for focus leaking and monitoring of meters. If anyone can help I’d really appreciate it Thanks
yeaaah the monitor incompatibility is a big downer for me. I really really like the smaller and lighter formfactor of the SDRs but would love to just use the high bright monitor. now i have to have another monitor, with yet another battery and then mount these two together and then mount THAT to something instead of just ... a monitor with a battery mounted somewhere
It’s a shame they couldn’t have made a cheaper monitor with the SDR built in so it could have been a mini transmission or better yet have it work with the DJI drone controllers with built in screens! A lot of filmmakers would already have them and it would encourage people to stay in the ecosystem.
I think the sdr system is good for fast and small shoots, and to send feeds to phones and iPads.. for the rest, they just need to release a Ronin 4d without gimbal.. problem solved with rigging and compatibility
DJI’s biggest problem is not allowing u to grow with their gear but having to buy the newer release each . Across all their products :( That’s why I’m going to rather save and go Teradek
All of these reviews, but haven’t seen one review that tests multiple wireless units working simultaneously. Has anyone tried 2x+ signals at the same time?
@@CineDailies the SDR is interesting. Spec sheet looks good, but doesn’t seem to live up to it? I’ve had tons of trouble with it pairing with multiple monitors (especially the shinobi), just glitches out constantly like it won’t accept video feed.
@@CineDailies haven’t had the time to reach out to them yet, but I’ve never had a easy time with customer service over there. Guess we’ll see! Hopefully it’s a little bug or a bad unit…
@@jtserrao1962Just saying, but you could have messaged them in the same time as it took to complain about them here. Have you received a reply at this stage? I’d be interested also in their response as I was considering this product.
@@CineDailies - For example, the Osmo Pocket 3. If you use it more than 3 times when you 1st get it, the 4th time it will not work unless you register it. Or if you buy the High bright with accessories and transmitter it will put a box obstructing the image unless you register it.
They won’t fix the designs, they’re keeping them as cheap as possible. The profit margins are more important than the actual customer and usability in this case. I’d assume their thinking is; buy better unit if you want higher quality. DJI is here to be cheap not good. 🤷🏾♂️
They can’t work with the monitor?? Yikes They’ll prob lose some customers to the hollyland pyro s Loving the “pro” version, the rigging / integration is so much nicer than my old hollyland kit
Yeah huge miss bro. I would love to have been able to switch between the sdr and dji pro with changing between cameras or have a TWO UP on my AC monitor
and yeah DJI making the SDR NOT compatible with the current Transmission system is a HUGE misstep. huge and yes indeed DJI…. USBC IS NOT A PROFESSIONAL CONNECTOR!!!

Thanks fam! I appreciate you watching. Haha everyone needs a punching bag I guess
Can it be somehow used with a single (or even multiple) receiver to monitor and control multiple cameras on a single monitor?
