DJI Focus PRO

DJI Focus Pro is a professional lens-control and LiDAR focusing system designed to bring autofocus, assisted manual focus and wireless FIZ control to cinema and photographic lenses. It is especially useful with manual cinema lenses, vintage optics and other lenses that do not provide native autofocus. By combining LiDAR subject detection with a high-speed focus motor, the system can automate focus pulls or assist a focus puller while preserving the character and mechanical control of a manual lens setup.

LiDAR autofocus for manual lenses

The Focus Pro LiDAR uses 76,800 ranging points and measures subjects from approximately 0.5 to 20 metres. Its built-in camera and machine-learning algorithms can recognise people and vehicles, while up to five subjects can be detected at the same time. This allows manual lenses to be used with autofocus-style subject tracking after the lens has been calibrated to the system, which can be particularly useful on gimbals, handheld rigs and shots where maintaining precise focus manually would be difficult.

AF, MF and AMF operating modes

DJI Focus Pro supports traditional manual focus as well as autofocus and AMF — Automated Manual Focus. AMF combines automatic focusing with tactile feedback, allowing the operator to intervene manually while still benefiting from LiDAR assistance. The system can therefore be used as a fully manual wireless focus solution, as an autofocus system for compatible manual lenses or as a hybrid tool that helps the operator anticipate and correct focus during moving shots.

High-speed 0.8 MOD focus motor

The Focus Pro Motor uses the standard 0.8 MOD cinema gear and mounts to 15 mm rods. DJI specifies a maximum torque of 0.6 N·m and a maximum speed of 300 rpm at 8 V, with response latency as low as 10 ms when paired with the Focus Pro Hand Unit. Motor torque can be adjusted to suit lenses with different focus-ring resistance, and the direction of rotation can be reversed to match different mounting positions.

Wireless FIZ control for focus pullers

The Focus Pro Hand Unit provides wireless focus, iris and zoom control with a magnetic-damping focus wheel and electronic A-B point marking. Communication range is specified at up to 160 m under FCC conditions and 100 m under CE conditions in an unobstructed environment. The hand unit uses an NP-F550 battery and includes a 1.09-inch full-color touchscreen for system configuration and monitoring.

Grip control for solo operators

The Focus Pro Grip is designed for operators who need to control focus directly from the camera rig. It includes a 1.8-inch full-color touchscreen, focus dial and connections for the LiDAR, motor and compatible camera control. The grip can mount to either side of a cage through a NATO connection and can power both the LiDAR and motor. DJI specifies approximately 2.5 hours of operating time when simultaneously powering the screen, LiDAR and one focus motor with continuous AF enabled.
