Using the DJI RS3 Pro and Lidar Range Finder for Anamorphic Autofocus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 ноя 2023
- One of the barriers to entry for Anamorphic filmmaking has always been the fact that Anamorphic lenses need to be focused manually by hand. They don’t typically lend themselves to solo creators, or for shooting fast action, where the lens needs to constantly rack focus to keep up with a moving subject.
Where this limitation has served to put Anamorphic filmmaking somewhat out of reach for most smaller production crews or solo creatives, DJI’s RS3 Pro gimbal now offers a unique solution to address this limitation, with their Lidar Range Finder unit.
The Lidar Range Finder works in conjunction with the RS3 Pro, and the DJI
focus motor, translating focus depth information to any manual focus lens in real-time. That process essentially converts manual Anamorphic cinema lenses into fully autofocusing lenses that can keep up with tracking fast-moving subjects.
This setup can now take the place of a dedicated focus puller or First AC, and makes Anamorphic filmmaking way more accessible to the masses than ever before.

![They FINALLY Made a PERFECT CAMERA [DJi RONIN 4D]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/V7DnNoAnbDc/mqdefault.jpg)
Maybe I missed it, but at the start of the video you seem to be saying that you will show us how you managed to separate the Lidar unit from the RS3 Pro, but I never came across this vital piece of information during the video. Could you please expand on how you did this?
DJI sells their lidar technology separately to use with their RS 3 pro gimbal, link is in the description
I was just about to ask the same question!
Andrew, I can answer any specific questions you have about the setup.
@@louisatu-tetuh3244lmk if you want any specific advice, but you have to start with the RS3 Pro and Lidar Range Finder unit to be able to do this.
@@RMalayeriokay and then where do we go from there?
Hello? Where is the description of how to do this or am I missing something??
So you registered the lenses using the RS3 pro and the Lidar hardware to save lens data onto the lidar memory. You can save up to 3. You then took the lidar system off of the RS3 Pro to use on your camera by selecting the correct lens data
So freaking cool. I gotta try this.
Agreed bro! Such an amazing rig to have access to! Lmk how you like it when you get it setup 🙌
Great bit of gear is this rig I've never heard of Anamorphic Autofocus, i have learned something new today. Adorama always has a variety of different subjects and i thank you for that. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind words!
Can you rig this out on the gfx100ii that way you can see in camera the anamorphic ratio while filming I believe?
Hi there! You can rig this with any camera and lens combination. From GFX, to Sony, to Blackmagic... It's an amazing option to elevate your work 😊🙌
hi mr. reza. are you iranian? if so i want to ask some questions in farsi about this product and how i can buy this . tkanks for replay.
Everything was centre focus. Can you rule or 1/3? or are you stuck with the subject center center? Additionally this entire video was about anamorphics lenses. Absolutely no info about pulling focus with the lidar.
The DJI Lidar unit can be set to tracking or zone focus when you calibrate your lens on the RS3 Pro. I wrote a blog post on Adorama 42West listing all of the parts, but was trying to keep the video from being too technical. I'm happy to answer any questions you have though, so feel free to ask!
which post link please @@RMalayeri
found it. «All you have to do is calibrate your lens with the LiDAR Unit once while mounted on the RS3 Pro. Then, save the configuration to one of the LiDAR’s three memory banks. This takes the versatility and usefulness of the setup even further by allowing you to remove your camera from the gimbal, and shoot Anamorphic video with full autofocus using your own handheld»
Pdmovie does a better LiDAR setup and a smaller format
PD Movie does offer a solution as well, although I'm not quite sure how it stacks up to the DJI Lidar. Maybe I should test them head to head 👌
😊
has anybody else had their Atomos recorder fail? they refused to service mine because it was 1 gen old so now I look at those products as disposable garbage. consider black magic instead.
Tell me how to do something, without actually telling me!.
