I think I already know the answer to this but am just asking to confirm...

Is it correct that neither the Studio 6k nor the Ursa Broadcast G2 have the capability to do continuous autofocus regardless of lens?

Also, continuous autocorrect is possible if you use an external accessory like a LIDAR autofocus gadget?

Do you have a continuous autofocus accessory you have been satisfied with?

Thanks for your help!

I can't say for the former, though I doubt it, but I can definitely confirm, no for the latter, since I own it.

If you are using the UBG2 with B4 and ENG lenses you will never need AF, in any case; since it's customary to just snap in the zoom, focus pull out, old style.

Yeah that's definitely the case with the Ursa. We have an ENG lens on it. There may be some rare occasions though where continuous autofocus would be handy such as shooting a moving subject at f 2.8.

Having a parfocal B4 lens on our UBG2 is reeeeally nice in that regard.
