Looking at Smallrig MagicFIZ focus pull system for shoulder rigs. The motors and wheels work well, but can't see a way to trigger recording on a BMCC 6K Pro.
I am using the USB-C on the camera for recording to SSD (though I did try that connection). Both units also have Bluetooth, and I can start a connection with the camera seeing something is trying to connect, but can't finish the connection since the camera wants me to input a code and the MagicFIZ has no keyboard to enter it. I have seen others get around this with software (www_youtube_com/watch?v=SpKRHGeGpNE&t=1s) so in theory, it "could" work, but I don't currently see a way with MagicFIZ.
Anybody done this? Have a better solution? I appreciate any help or guidance.
