UNIVERSAL RADIO MODULE 3

The URM-3 is a radio modem that allows the camera to communicate with the Wireless Main Units WMU-3 or WMU-2. The URM-3 contains the same smaller and lighter radio modem that can be found in the WMU-3, and it can attach directly to a 435 Xtreme or to a Universal Motor Controller (UMC-1).

WIRELESS BATTERY UNIT 3

The snap-on WBU-3 uses modern Lithium-Ion battery technology to provide the longest running times. Our goal was to have a basic system operate a full day on one battery. Tests have shown that a Wireless Main Unit (WMU-3) equipped with a Wireless Focus Unit (WFU-3) can run up to 16 hours on one battery, which should be enough even for the most ambitious shooting day. And even if you don’t know how long your day will be, you will know when to change batteries through the new 5 step battery capacity display.

WIRELESS ZOOM UNIT 3

The WZU-3 is used to control zoom. It can be sandwiched between the WMU-3 and the WFU-3, thus taking up a minimal amount of space. Zoom speed can be adjusted and zoom limits can be quickly set.

WIRELESS MAIN UNIT 3

The heart of the system is the WMU-3. It accepts the hand controllers for focus, zoom, iris, camera control and the Lens Data Display for Focus Puller (LDD-FP), and it communicates with the camera side radio. To ensure that the contact between camera and assistant is not interrupted, the new radio modem inside the WMU-3 has a more robust transmission. The WMU-3 is tiny and very comfortable in the hand, helped also by the ergonomic hand strap.

WIRELESS FOCUS UNIT 3

The WFU-3 is used to control focus and/or iris. Focus and iris can be assigned freely to hand wheel and slider, and electronic lens and knob limits can be easily set. In addition it is possible to set mechanical knob limits. The movable index marker is especially useful when the WFU-3 is held at different angles or swapped between hands.

WIRELESS EXPANSION BRACKET 3

The WEB-3 attaches to the Wireless Main Unit (WMU-3), and allows the use of two hand controllers attached to one WMU-3 at the same time.

WIRED HANDGRIP ATTACHMENT 3

The WHA-3 is similar to the WHA-2: it allows hand controllers like the WFU-3, WZU-3 or WRC-1 to be connected with a cable to an ARRICAM or 435 Xtreme. What differentiates the WHA-3 is its ability to control focus tracking. As long as a compatible distance measuring device and LDD-FP are connected to the ARRICAMs or 435 Xtreme, pressing the blue button on the side of the WHA-3 will set the focus to the measured distance.
