Variable Speed Control: Equipped with a pressure-sensitive rocker that allows the operator to continuously vary the zoom speed, from slow (creeping zoom) to fast (crash zoom) using just fingertip pressure.

Refined Operation: Superior sensitivity and responsiveness help the operator execute smooth zoom maneuvers without stuttering or abrupt speed changes.

Compact and Ergonomic Design: Compact, cylindrical design easily mounts onto lens systems, camera rods, or grips, making it especially ideal for Steadicam.

Integrated Focus (Optional): Supports Focus or Iris (M) control via optional modules or knobs (the V+F name suggests this capability).

Wide Compatibility: Compatible with various lens motors and remote control systems from Preston Cinema Systems and other manufacturers.

Description

1. Precise Operational Mechanism:

  • Pressure Lever: The biggest difference of the Micro Force lies in the lever’s pressure sensor. It provides intuitive tactile feedback, allowing the operator to modulate zoom speed based on feel, resulting in soft, natural zoom operations, which are difficult to achieve with conventional wheel or knob controllers.
  • Speed Limiter Adjustment: Usually features a dial or switch to set the maximum zoom speed, helping prevent unwanted fast zoom operations.

2. Reliable Mechanical Design:

  • Build Quality: Constructed from durable, high-grade materials, the Micro Force is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of film and broadcast production environments.
  • LED Indicators: Indicator LEDs typically display the mode status (Zoom/Focus) or connection status.

3. System Integration:

  • The Micro Force is typically connected to a Motor Driver unit via cable, which then relays commands to the zoom motor mounted on the lens.

4. Applications:

  • This is the default zoom controller for most Steadicam operators globally because it allows the operator’s right hand to control the zoom while the left hand can focus on framing or operating the arm.
