Hey Gang!

It is always a pleasure to work with other manufacturers whose products were directly informed by camera assisting and we are excited to announce a collaborative project with fellow IATSE 669 1st AC Jackson Harper of LNKcine:  

Behold, the Limited Edition LNKcine FOCUSBUG BEETLE!

The case of the mysterious "18" Sensitivity has been solved...

Hi ARRI users! It appears that when connected serially to an ARRI Alexa 35 a bad command is sent to the Cine RT as the camera powers on.   This command changes the native Cine RT Sensitivity to “18”.  ARRI has been alerted and plans to release a fix with an upcoming SUP.  In the meantime, we have released a temporary fix in the form of a Base Sensor firmware patch (no Handset patch is required).  Log in to your account and download the patch via your user account today at focusbug.com 

Alternatively, we suggest powering your Cine RT/or connecting your bi-directional serial cable AFTER the camera is already powered up.

We'll let you know when the SUP fix is released by ARRI.

Cheers,

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

Hi All! Here are a couple of quick videos regarding the forthcoming FLEA Serial Interface Module. The FLEA module has been requested by assistants wishing to run the Cine RT simultaneously with another rangefinding device such as the Ward's Sniper or Teradek TOF. These users wanted the ability to view third-party data on the Cine RT (or to send that data to a connected LCS) and the FLEA makes it possible!

Additionally, we have had requests to release a long-range transmitter. Since options such as the Qinematiq Focus Buddy RF Tags exist, we decided that rather than making our own, to release an interface to connect to any device outputting serial data. Currently, the 3rd Source Mode settings are restricted to a basic offset; however, more refined firmware connectivity is possible depending on demand.

Please comment here or email me directly at laird@focusbug.com if you are interested in the FLEA…
