ActionProducts FIZ

[Brian D. Goff]

ActionProducts just completed a long testing period for our new FIZ, and are very proud to introduce the U-LEX digital lens control system. The pictures below are from one of the several preproduction models that have been tested the last few months under harsh conditions. The production models will have some minor cosmetic changes.

The U-LEX will be on our website sometime the next two weeks, as well as all the tech. details and pricing. Price is not cheap, but noticeable below comparable competition.

General features are:

-100 lens memory. Once a lens is calibrated and stored in memory, the system will automatically recognize it after performing automatic lens stop detection.

-Display for all lens relevant information, including the focus marks down to millimeter display! Once the lens is manually calibrated using several witness marks of the lens, the software cleverly calculates in-between distances, giving you millimeter precision display on FIZ

-very light and very strong motors AND very very quite!

-works with most 3.party digital motors.

-Programable Iris / Zoom positions, recallable with the press of a button.

-Video splitter and FIZ information overlay onto standard definition Monitors.

-various add-ons in development such as 4" screen display.

-low power consumption, light weight of all components

Well let me be the first to congratulate you on this, it looks very cool, and very well made as most of your products.If it performs and behave as described it will be a top seller with the right price.
Well done Brian.

 

[Fredrik Callinggard]

Very impressive as your products normally are can't wait to test it.

Can you specify if it controls 1 or more channels- motors at the same time, or you need 3 controllers to control FIZ?

The "brain" and "controller" are FIZ, so it can control 3 motors at the same time - only IZ are on the same controller buttons or can be assigned to the control knob. We have a zoom handle that plugs into the controller. Will make new pictures next week.

 

[constantine Tirintzis]

So if I understand well to have all 3 FIZ at the same time controlled Independently you will need to plug in an Iris and zoom control?

Just the zoom handle, FI is on the main unit.

The standard control handle already already offers connection of 3 motors - focus, iris and zoom. Two of them can be controlled at the same time - for the third one you can switch back and forth. With the separate available zoom-grip - all 3 can be controlled simultaneously. The zoom-grip can also be used without the main control handle (cable connection directly to the motor).
The system offers:

- Automatic Lens detection
- up to 100 lens-memory
- multiply step programing for iris/zoom
- all kinds of adustements (motor speed etc.)
- automatic visual focus range (calculated on the iris your using) on the LCD of the grip
- build in SD video in out, with frameline and focus/lens information on the screen you use
- mini screen for the grip in development (already done but not in production yet)
- 3D modus (Focus slave funktion for Iris or zoom motor)

Compatible with most digital motors (heden etc.)
Our own motor is extremely powerful and quiet.

We will offer it w/o motor, with LOON motors (Digital M-ONE) and our own motor.
