Angenieux MSU-1 Universal Cine Servo with 3 Motors & Wireless for EZ-1/EZ-2 Lens

The MSU-1 Universal Cine Servo with 3 motors and wireless module from Angenieux is a removable lens drive unit designed specifically for use with Angenieux EZ-1 and EZ-2 lenses. It provides ENG-style control for EZ-1 and EZ-2 cinema lenses.

The built-in features you would expect from an ENG-style lens control grip, along with several accessories, make for a powerful combination when used with your lens. The three lens drive gears are positioned to work perfectly with the lens and have a 0.8 module to match 35mm film lenses. The start/stop button on the handle controls the camera, while the traditional zoom rocker is complemented by adjustable speed control.

Further compatibility is ensured by the presence of Hirose and LEMO connectors. A built-in wireless module allows the servo drive to be controlled without a fixed cable connection. Those who wish to do so can control the servo using standard ENG pan handles from Canon or Fujinon.

The MSU is self-aligning and mounts with three screws and a guide pin.
