it will be nice if the lidar system can communicate with panasonic software, so it can give instructions or feedback to the camera when we are using the lens with internal non linear motorized autofocus
Take a camera (GH5/ GH6) with one of the best IBIS+OIS, and learn basic manual focus techniques, and you should be golden… Cost effective plus learned a usable practical skill… 🤔
if you use L mount lenses then there is a setup where you don't need the motors at all instead the lidar communicate with the camera thru the gimbal and use lens internal focus motor
Thanks for the video. Can you adjust the sensitivity of the Active track, so the camera doesn't move with SMALL movements by the subject? Meaning, can it be set so that the subject has to mover further before active track starts to move the camera?
Yes, my understanding is that you need lenses with hard stops for the LiDAR calibration. I found this on the DJI forum where a few people have some hacks to get around this limitation, but I haven't tried any of these yet, and not sure how well they would work, but thought I'd share anyway: forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=235065
That's a good point to add! I wouldn't recommend this setup _just_ to get better focus on your camera. But if using the RS3 Pro is already part of your setup, then adding the LiDAR focus could be worthwhile for you.
Yes, it DOES look like a hassle. But... if you shoot with Panasonic cameras with contrast-detect AF only (or shoot with manual focus lenses), it's either this or pull focus manually (or, buy a Sony camera).
Lidar keeps you in focus even if the scene is pitch black. Great for low light or night shooting.
Oh that's a really great benefit to point out, thank you!
Please do a video with the rs4 pro, gh6, leica 12-35 or 12-60 and new lidar. Thank you

It can with the latest update / partnership with DJI & LUMIX
Do we have to have the handle thing to take advantage of the Lidar?

can I automatically zoom and focus at the same time with 2 motors?

no
Is it possible to use the DJI Lidar with the Panasonic DMW-XLR2 XLR Microphone Adapter at the same time?
can you connect the Lidar Focus Pro to the GH4 Panasonic?
Which cable did you use that worked for the lydar? Im having the same issue
Is there any longer usbc cable for the lydar or any way to make it longer. Ive tried using some of my usbc cables and they dont work
So basically, it doesn’t work with the sigma 18 to 35? I was considering getting the LiDAR focus for that set up but now I don’t know what to do.

You had a monitor set up on one of the clips via the hdmi, do you get the screen for the Lidar on this swell?
Does the gimbal power/charge the gh6 battery when connected?
which gimbal is needed to use this Lindar? which one is the one in this video? Thank you
DJI RS3, save your money for the new SR4 and the new Lidar that is way better than this.
It's slow, wobbly, and soft at distance, close up it seems okay but the wobbling in track is terrible.
You don’t have to take all those steps to used the LiDAR using the GH6 autofocus lens ua-cam.com/video/AXg5o9FJvsQ/v-deo.htmlsi=LPBfWCJjFruN8mdK
Seems like a lot of hassle just to be in focus.
