That is the tool I was waiting for by DJI. The gimbal is great, but not always needed/useful. And to be honest, hiring an AC or manual focusing myself is not always possible either. So this is really a gamechanger. A big step forward from the janky solutions which were possible put not really practical. Thank you for the great deep dive.

Great tutorial and thank you for sharing! Is it possible to use DJI Focus Pro on lenses with AF? Sometimes the AF in camera is thrown off and I have to refocus. Can the AF system in cam be turned off to use the lidar in Focus Pro? I have Sony a7s3. Hope this isn't a silly question
@caitxu50118 ай бұрын
Sure thing, the LiDAR on the RS3 can totally work with the Sony A7S3. The Focus Pro is like its own separate lidar unit, so yeah, it can definitely be used with the A7S3, no problem.

Try going to the range that it won’t focus on and adjust your installation distance. I found that I can sort of fine tune the calibration that way. Just adjust the distance until their eyes are in focus while it’s tracking someone’s face.

At this point it’s just the two points, I agree they need to add some more data points in there. And as for the rings it’s not like the Preston, you just have to mark up your own. Definitely a lot to add for V2 of this system to get to that pro level.

It’s more about at what zoom length you do the calibration. It’s a tricky one, what I’ve done is do the calibration at the middle of the zoom range, then zoom all the way in and while in autofocus mode go and adjust the installation distance until their eyes are sharp. It’s a good way to tweak your calibration.

@Michael_BialikАй бұрын
This would be an awesome, complete focus pulling system if it wasn't for the DJI Transmission. The system latency, the mediocre monitor sharpness and garbage assist tools make it a very poor option for focus pulling. Proof is even in this very video, with how poor the distance/sharpness calibration result was, I know for a fact he couldn't actually see what was properly sharp. Even if one is planning to use it solely as AF for manual lenses, he/she would still have to calibrate it properly first. I'd definitely be doing it with a tape measure and not the DJI HB monitor. I really wish DJI would come out with a compact, low-weight, zero latency monitoring focus pulling system for their gimbals, maybe together with a new full Ronin (3)? It's about time that old boy had a successor. Until then Teradek RT + SmallHD remain the most complete solution in this regard, for a sh...tonne more money though...
