Control the focus and iris of your lens remotely with the Chrosziel MN-200 MagNum Wireless Lens Control System. This system includes the Chrosziel 2-channel MagNum transmitter and receiver, along with the necessary power and cabling accessories to use the unit straight out of the box with the included Chrosziel CDM-100 digital motors. The MagNum unit is compatible with motors using a 7-pin LEMO interface.

For ease of use, calibration is automatic with lenses that have hard stops. If you are using photographic lenses that do not have close focus and infinity stops, a special calibration mode allows you to manually calibrate the focus distance. To adjust the MagNum settings, an OLED display and directional buttons provide an intuitive interface. Recording start/stop can be controlled from the handheld unit if the camera is connected to the receiver.

The handheld unit can be upgraded for a third degree of lens control. The Zoom Toggle Button Upgrade Kit is available separately and adds an ergonomic zoom toggle button to the rear of the transmitter.



MN-200 MagNum Dual-Channel Wireless Lens Control System

The Chrosziel MN-200 MagNum Dual-Channel Wireless Lens Control System combines a receiver and handheld transmitter for remote control of focus, iris, and camera record start/stop. The dual-channel system operates on 2.4 GHz or 430 MHz frequency bands, offering five selectable channels in the 430 MHz band and eleven channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency band for interference-free operation. The receiver features ports that accept optional lens control cables, camera start/stop cables, and power cables. The system is compatible with optional lens motors, as well as wired analogue zoom controls.

The handheld unit features an ergonomic grip and finger rest for comfortable use, intuitive menu operation via membrane keys, and a colour OLED display. For focus control, a soft-damped manual wheel is provided, which distributes the focus range of any lens over one complete turn of the wheel. Focus marks can be made on the marking disc, with two freely adjustable end stops also available. In addition to the focus wheel, the handheld unit features a slide control for adjusting the camera's iris with extendable aluminium iris scales and adjustable stops. Five 1/4"-20 mounting holes on the handheld unit allow you to mount it on tripods or even attach monitors. It is powered by Sony NP-FM50 type batteries.

The MN-200 system comes with a Sony NP-FM50 type battery, a battery charger, a padded wrist strap, a padded shoulder strap, and two antennae for use in the 430 MHz band.

CDM-100 Digital Motor

Designed for gimbal and drone configurations, the Chrosziel CDM-100 Digital Motor is compact with only 19 mm diameter and features an integrated 27" 7-pin LEMO 1B cable for connection to Chrosziel FIZ systems. As this motor uses a horizontal design and integrated cable, it can be kept at a low profile when size and weight, or lack thereof, are of paramount importance. This motor includes a 19 mm clamp with a 15 mm adaptor for LWS compatibility and two MOD 0.8 gears; one 1.6" and one 2.4" in diameter to compensate for recessed lens control rings.
