Pyxis: Zoom control?
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2024 4:32 pmWill the Pyxis EF allow Zoom control (on the same lenses wich can be controlled on the Pockets)? The Specs are curiously different:
Our Setup for HD livestreams: 7x Canon COMPACT-SERVO 18-80MM / 70-200 T4.4 EF lenses, controlled by Atem on Pocket 6Ks, mounted on Ronin RS4 Pro, PTZ control via Middle Control APC-R / Mini
We would love to upgrade to a 4K workflow, if we can balance the Pyxis on the gimbals (tbc), and we still can control pan / tilt / zoom / iris / focus... The rest of our gear is 4K ready.

Camera options considered:
- Studio 6K Pro: doesn't balance on the Gimbals
Studio 4K Pro: no EF-Mount
Micro Studio: no EF-Mount, controllable lenses for this camera not good enough for our concert videography
Pocket 6K series: no 4K output
Why 4K?
- No post-production for publication of separate music pieces needed
Quality upgrade
