The "Cube" is the AFX from CDA-Tek. It performs well. For zoom lenses too. The only downside is that programming is done with buttons, on the device. Focus Puller and AFX would be the ideal combination!

There's the a device by Axoncine. Originally they made one specifically for the BMPCC4k/6k which controlled lenses electronically, and was operated via bluetooth (a pretty slick way of doing it, imho). However, they discontinued it, and replaced it with a device that does the same thing, but requires a Tilta Nano focus motor.

Pretty cool. :) Hope the app gets a little update to allow for slower and more natural pulls, and perhaps an option to not instantly snap to what whatever is covered by the dot so people could cross the frame. And a wider coverage area and the ability to place it wherever to allow for the dot to stray a bit, and for off centre composition. Also, I’m guessing this rules out using zoom lenses? And if the phone shifts, you’d need to recalibrate it? (Can the App store calibration data for different lenses and between lens changes and uses?) I guess needing to position it next to the lens means no Matt boxes either. With the setup, perhaps a cage and something to securely attach the phone to the centre just above the lens and as far forward as it can go. (Something custom without joints, but maybe telescopic to allow for different lens sizes). The phone could then be completely centered (for balance) and the LiDAR would be in approximately the same position it is here (except top mounted). Or if preferred, just slightly to one side instead of all the way, with the LiDAR perfectly centred over the lens. If done correctly, the setup should be repeatable too, meaning no calibration each time?

I am a cheap skate but I've been wanting autofocus on my Blackmagic 6K for a long time. I've spent $12.99 on much less useful things. lmao. I did exactly what you said, downloaded the free version, tested it out with my lens, I was beyond tripped out seeing my BM6K autofocusing, and just bought it. I haven't done any calibrations yet but the mere fact that the connection was made and the lens was moving around as I moved my phone was enough for me to actually try to calibrate it. Thanks for being so vigorous at this problem!

It works pretty well, you just have to nail your calibration and mount it properly that it wont move.

Nice discovery! I love it. Seems like it would be easy to implement an ease in/out function, unless its some stepper motor limitation. though I CAN do it by hand with the usual Blackmagic camera app and get that soft ease. ive been using the iPhone LIDAR for visual effects needs for a while now. Scanning rooms to create models for reference and dynamics simulations. I can tell you, the awesome next step for this would be to merge the LIDAR metadata into the BRAW (sort of how Blackmagic is doing with the gyro for stabilization) and use the LIDAR to pull focus on anything, as well as aperture in post. I know, thats crazy but that would be amazing. sort of how the light field cameras work. oh I can only dream.

Hi Michael ! Great video as always. Pretty sure that the FOV of the LIDAR on the iPhone is about 70° so, if you put the iPhone vertically and point it a little bit down, the green point should be centered while the depth map should cover enough FOV. Maybe give it a try, if u didn't already.

You can set focus and forget if they sit mostly still, and if you have a small enough aperture f/4 and higher. If you have shallow DoP or they move a lot, you need to be careful and adjust focus from time to time. You can do it manually however too, don't need AF for that, you just need to pay attention during the interview. I have done it, and for people who do not change position all the time, it can work

Interesting concept but it doesn’t work well. I dont know if it’s the app or the iphone 13 pro max lidar but measured distances are wildly inconsistent, at least for me. Ill point at something 6 meters away then to something about 1 meter away then back to 6. Sometimes the 6 meter distance measures at 6, sometimes 1.5, other times any number in between. Would love to try the rs3 lidar to see if it’s the phone (which I suspect is the issue) but not sure it’s worth the money if it can’t be 100% reliable…or really even if it is.

I mean as cool as this is...I really really suggest that people who go out a buy cine cameras just need to suck it up and pull focus manually. Yes is more effort and can be more expensive to do so but ultimately what you buy these camera bodies for is for more control over your image. I think the industry has gotten people to believe that "easy" is more convenient when in reality you really shouldn't cut corners where you don't have to. If you want auto focus there are plenty of good bodies out there (Canon R5C, C70 Sony FX3, FX6 etc.). These kind of solutions are nice to discover but out in the field can't be trusted fully.

One thing blackmagic always does, is to wait for everyone to do all these modifications for a particular feature and then come out with a new version of the camera with the built-in feature that everyone is looking for....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.....I'll wait for the auto focus.

Not in this app no. I know the Bluetooth+ app has camera controls, and manual focus control. Just not the LiDAR function

As long as the speedbooster and lens still had the metal connectors to enable autofocus in camera then yes it should work just fine

Great video and thanks for posting, any chance some one has got the Sigma 18-35 working in the 6k pro? I can connect BT to camera but nothing when Focus slider is activated.

Same here. The lens is focus by wire. I don't know what that means but I'm 'guessing' that is the opposite of electronic.

Focus by wire is a digital type of focus, whether analog or focus by wire, it doesn’t matter. As long as it is electronic with AF, it shouldn’t matter. But also, the Sigma 18-35 is NOT focus by wire. I tried the Sigma too with no results. But also tried another Canon lens with no results either.

The Bluetooth+ app I know does. I believe blackmagics app is just for the iPad which may pull focus as well! The biggest feature of this app is the LiDAR
