BM Micro Studio Camera 4k G2 + DJI RS3 Pro focus control

PostSat Aug 03, 2024 9:25 pm

I am currently working on a PTZ setup with a BMMSC4kG2, and am trying to debug the focus control.

I have used my BMPCC4k and AF lenses (usually Sigma 18-35 or Canon 70-200), connected to the RS3 Pro. When the BMPCC4k was connected to the RS3, I was able to adjust focus using the wheel on the front of the RS3 pro.

I now have a Micro Studio Cam 4k G2, and its on the RS3 pro. It is connected to the RS3 pro via the USB-C cable for camera control, but the wheel doesn't adjust focus.

Has anyone else tried this?

I watched the vid. It looks like that system relies on the Atem for camera control not the Ronin.

Good Luck

You are correct. The atem can control focus.

However, the RS3 can also control focus of a BMPCC4k when it's connected via a USB-C cable. I am trying to do the same thing with the BMMSC4kG2.

I'm having the same issue with BMCC6K and RS 4 Pro. Bluetooth works, cable connection doesn't. Dji has no clue at all. I messaged several persons with same setup but nobody has provided any feedback.
