PDL-AFX-RA-S includes a large handwheel extension device, making it a better choice for occasional team collaboration. PDL-AFX-S is recommended for long-term single-person shooting as it offers better value for money.

The autofocus feature supports most conventional cinema lenses with built-in hard stops. It does not currently support non-hard stop DSLR lenses or certain macro lenses with non-linear progressive magnification.
Electronically controlled lenses with no hard stop focus, if there is a depth of field scale on the focus ring that indicates the focus position, autofocus can still be used. The prerequisite is to manually calibrate the effective focus range of a lens. using the manual lens calibration function, based on the depth of field scale. Additionally, during calibration, it is important to note that SLR lenses with a depth of field scale actually have a very subtle limit that can be surpassed. We can manually calibrate the lens travel based on this subtle limit. Afterwards, autofocus MARK points can be set.

First, calibrate the lens stroke, then activate the autofocus calibration function, and follow the steps to quickly complete the three-point mark method. You can find the autofocus calibration tutorial here:http://www.pdmovie.com/pages/live-air-3-smart-instructions

Each motor can save data for up to 5 lenses. Before calibrating a lens, select the channel color to save the autofocus data for that lens. Double-click the motor button to cycle through 5 channels (red, yellow, green, blue, white). You can use labels to record which lens corresponds to each channel. After restarting the motor, simply set it to the corresponding color channel and perform automatic/manual lens calibration to extract the calibration data for that lens and enable autofocus mode. There is no need to recalibrate, and changing the device will not affect the saved data.

Currently, the autofocus feature does not support focus locking. The motor can independently perform calibration and autofocus actions without the need for interaction with other components or apps. It functions as a wide-area autofocus mode that automatically focuses on objects scanned within the LiDAR's scanning range. If your shooting scenario involves multiple objects in the foreground and background and you need to switch focus between them without changing the composition, we recommend switching to manual control mode for better control.

Most Matteboxes currently available may obstruct the motor's LiDAR, making it difficult to use the autofocus function. If you only need to use ND filters or other effect filters instead of shading, there are many convenient lens devices available in the market that can still be used. Alternatively, you can use a rear-mounted VND filter (e.g. MOFAGE POCO) to avoid obstructing the motor's LiDAR.

The maximum effective range is as follows:
a. Indoor + Nighttime: MAX 4M, with slight variations due to different lighting conditions, ranging from 3.5M.
b. Outdoor, cloudy daytime: 3M to 3.5M.
c. Outdoor, daytime: The distance may be reduced based on different sunlight intensities.
- Light intensity below 10,000: Maximum 3.8 meters.
- Light intensity between 10,000 and 45,000: Maximum 3.8 meters to 3 meters.
- Light intensity between 45,000 and 50,000: Maximum 3 meters to 2.5 meters.
- Light intensity above 70,000: Maximum 2.2 meters.
* As light intensity increases, the scanning angle narrows linearly with increasing distance.
If you wear auxiliary focus stickers or other DIY reflective stickers, both indoors and outdoors, you can ignore the effects of lighting and infrared, with a range of 4M.

Yes, the motor has three speed settings: fast, medium, and slow. You can cycle through the autofocus speed settings by short-pressing the motor button 5 times. It is recommended to use the medium speed for normal autofocus. If you need faster autofocus, you can set it to fast. If you prefer a smoother transition during the autofocus process, you can use the slow speed.

The effective scanning distance of the motor LiDAR is 4 meters, with an angle of 26 degrees. If the scanning range is exceeded, the motor will enter a low-power energy-saving mode and automatically move to and stay at a position on the lens scale approximately 5 meters away. If no objects are detected within 5 seconds, the motor will automatically move to and stay at a position on the lens scale approximately 30 meters away, close to infinity. When an object re-enters the scanning range, the motor will immediately resume normal autofocus operation from the low-power energy-saving mode.

LIVE AIR 3 SMART has the same wireless follow focus capabilities as LIVE AIR 3. Additionally, it has an embedded LiDAR distance measurement module and AI lens model virtual technology, enabling it to have autofocus functionality.
