The Chrosziel MN-200 MagNum 2-Channel Wireless Remote Control System includes an MN-200R motor control Receiver and handheld MN-200T Transmitter unit for remote control of focus, iris, and camera record start/stop. The Transmitter offers a handwheel with two variable mechanical stops (VariLock II), infinitely adjustable fluid damping (VariFluid), mechanical locking device and the optional inclusion of scale discs or rings. Meanwhile, the Receiver has ports that accept optional lens control cables, camera start/stop cables, and power cables. The system is compatible with optional lens motors, as well as wired analog zoom controls.
The MN-200 dual-channel Control system sends 430 MHz (5-channel ) or in 2.4 GHz frequency bands (11-channel), offering 5-selectable channels in the 430 MHz band, and 11-channels in the 2.4GHz frequency band for interference-free operation. The hand unit features a menu-driven, intuitive operation via touch keys and color OLED display and zooms rear camera operations. A handwheel is provided for focus control, this spreads the focus range of any lens to one full turn of the wheel.
