The Preston HU3/MDR-5 Wireless Follow Focus Kit is one of the most reliable systems in the market. The motors work consistently and signal issues are rare. Additionally, it also integrates well with the Preston Light Ranger, a distance measuring system, allowing for you to have even more help racking focus. Once you learn how to operate the HU3, the unit proves to be robust and dependable through and through. Our base kit includes one DM5 motor with additional motors available if need and can easily be paired with our Preston Digital Micro Force Zoom Controller Kit!
