Problem: cPro random connection shutdown

I hope you guys can help me! I contacted cMotion, but they are already on vacation.


unfortunately we had a horrible shoot yesterday because my CPro One connection kept shutting down irregularly.

My 1AC and I couldn't really pinpoint the problem.


Symptoms:

  • Lens Data was suddenly gone, but focus could still be adjusted, zoom no longer, no camera control either.

  • Sudden and independent adjustment of the zoom. Zoom possible but only within a small range.

Hi Holger,

This is how I diagnose these types of problems (time permitting)

You have to know if you're dealing with RF, Firmware or electrical.

  1. Take everything out of loop except (1) motor, (1) cable , handset and camera. Turn off pre marked rings (problem persist?)

  2. add in premaked ring ( problem?)

  3. Keep adding in externals until you get the problem.

  4. When you get it, go lbus to lbus hardwire for hand unit (problem go away?)

  5. Above suggestions are good as well: camin/ with cforce mini will tell you something about rf motor if you have one. good luck

Hello everyone I want to know the price of compact camin one and it's compatible with wcu-4 ?


Hello everyone. Has anyone used the Cpro with the cinetape, does it work? and if you use the Cpro as the focus control, what control do you use for iris control? any recommendation will be appreciated

With an LCUBE CUB-1 and the rangefinder license it works. You can set a use button to auto focus if you'd like as well. Most people use the slider for iris, but you're able to assign all control axis' to whatever you'd like

Problem: Iris readout on Alexa Mini Overlay is always the reverse of what the cPro has mapped.


I'm sending the readout through the LBUS port on the PL lens mount from a cforce mini motor. I remember there was a workaround to fix this but I'm blanking on it today. Maybe it was physically flipping motors?

Like others mentioned the fix is to match the direction on the camera and handset. I find there is a handful of other little issues with the 5.2 FW that if I’m not on the A35 or DSMC3 camera I’ll go back to the 5.0.2 FW and everything works like normal.
