An interview from the 2016 Cine Gear Expo at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles with Randy Wedick of Band Pro Film & Digital. Band Pro Film & Digital, Inc. is the most comprehensive resource for digital cinema equipment and technical information in the industry. Band Pro’s team of respected experts can provide knowledgeable solutions to all production challenges based on 30 years of experience. In this interview Randy talks with us about the Semote ARRI/RED Controller and Movcam's modular Lens Control Systems for Single, Dual, and Multi Channel Wireless Control Units.

Semote is the perfect remote camera controller for Arri Alexa/Mini and RED Epic/Dragon/Weapon cameras with a wireless range of 100-300 feet, line of sight. The compact design and intuitive controls are an ideal tool for crane operation, remote head, aerial shoots, car trailer shoots, as well as 3D/multiple camera shooting via a network hub.

You can check all information on your own screen, and depending on which camera, you change/set and store 10 profiles for FPS, EI, WB and Shutter, create real-time LUTs, start/stop the camera, format cards, set Looks, Framelines, change outputs, speed and recording codec, do playback and load set-ups from the SD card. The Semote Control is ideal for multi-camera production, cranes, drones, underwater shoots, due to it's ability to control up to 10 cameras.

Over the past few years, Movcam has released some of the most popular cage systems and accessories for the Sony A7S, A7II/A7RII/A7SII, Canon C300 MKII, ARRI Alexa Mini and Sony FS7. This year Movcam is entering the lens control business with their field-tested Wireless Lens Control System. Both the Single-Axis and Dual-Axis are easily adjustable and calibrate automatically. Configurable lens motor torque, 1.5” OLED screen visible (on SCU-1 Hand Control unit) in direct sunlight and ergonomic modular design are just a few features of Movcam’s Wireless Lens Control System.

The SCU-1 Hand Control Unit features a modular design and can be upgraded from a Single-Axis System to a Dual-Axis systems via the addition of the ZSU-1 Zoom Extension Module. Start/Stop functionality on the SCU-1 is compatible with popular cameras from the following manufacturers: Red, Canon, Sony, ARRI and Blackmagic Cameras.

The MCS-1 Multi Channel FIZ Controller works off the wi-fi band, 2.4Ghz and has selectable channels. It features a small, compact receiver where you can click in different modules depending on whether you want to just control just one, two or all three factions. The system is powered off either 12v or 30v and can even control traditional ENG lenses as well. The FIZ unit also self calibrates automatically and features a very intuitive touch screen on the controller that offers lots of flexibility.
