The UM-1 Digital Motor from Movcam provides precise repeatable control of your focus, zoom, or iris ring, and is suitable for use with both prime lenses and most zooms. It is available for users that want to upgrade their single axis system to a dual axis system. You can adjust the torque of the motor. This enables fine tuning your motor to your lens for optimal performance and minimal stress on your lens.

Simply press and hold the button on your motor to automatically calibrate it to your lens. Additionally, you can reverse the direction on the motor when using lenses that don't follow the cinema standard for rotation direction. The motor natively mounts on a 19mm rod, but will also mount on a 15mm rod when using the included 19 to 15mm adapter sleeve.

Works with Movcam Wireless Controller    Zoom, Focus, or Iris Control    Adjustable Torque    Automatic Lens Calibration    Motor Direction Reversible    Mounts to Single 19 or 15mm Rod

The included 0.8 MOD gear fits cine-style lens gears. The gear is removable, so you can swap it out for optional gears for video lenses and non-standard lens gears.

You can calibrate the motor to your lens by holding down the calibrate button for three seconds.

The motor drive is reversible, which allows you to use lenses that focus in the opposite direction from standard without having to add a physical reversing gear.

Works with MRS-1 control or MAF-1 auto focus systems.

Q: 1. Will this work with my A7? Also, will it mount on to a Glidecam, without any other accessories? I would use it to help add extra weight and protection. Thank you!

A: My understanding is that the body for the A7 and A7S (which I own) are identical; therefore, this cage will fit your Sony A7. Also, the cage will fit on our GlideCam perfectly - for convenience, I'd recommend buying a quick release plate - but you already know that.Best of luck...

Q: 2. Anyone know which (if any) side handles can be attached to this cage.?

A: We know of no handles that can directly attach to different manufacturer's cages. There are of course many that can fit to a 15mm rod and camera base system. However, if you can consider another brand, there are built in handles. The Varavon ARMOR II Pro Cage for Sony a7S, even though it is not available yet, would be a great choice. The Vidpro CA-SA7 Aluminum Camera Cage is an other while the CAME-TV ILCE-7S Cage for Sony a7S has dual handles.

Q: 3. What size step down adapter is needed for the Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens?

A: The Sony FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS Lens's outside diameter is 105.13mm. According to Movcam, they do not have an adapter that will fit that and their mattebox. While we do not have an adapter that is exactly the right size, we can suggest this one that might work. Birns & Sawyer 114-105mm Clamp Reducer Ring B&H # BIRR105. If this does not work, then you would have to go with a 15mm LWS and the Movcam Universal Stretch Donut (144 mm) B&H # MOARU144.

Q: 4. Hi! Is this able to mount on the LWS Baseplate for a7s?

A: While many 15mm rod system components are interchangeable, I do not see how this Movcam item would work with any Chrosziel LWS baseplate.For a Sony a7s 15mm rod system with handles, may I suggest this one? The SHAPE handles are my favorite of any I have used because they easily change but are rock solid.

Q: 9. Can the height of this be adjusted when used mounted to rails?

A: We're afraid not. This matte box does not offer height adjustments.

Q: 10. Will this cage work with the A7R as well? How quick/easy is it to get the camera in and out (out for stills, in for video)? Will this work with Sony's XLR-K1M box? Thanks!

A: Hi Samuel, I just got the cage to be used with the A7S and it fits like a glove. The A7R, I believe, has the same body so you should have no problem. Taking the camera out of the cage requires younto remove a couple crews, it's not hard, but it does take a minute. With that said, the cage is light enough that stills with the cage on wouldn't be impossible. The camera still fits nicely up to your face a d you can remove part of the cage to get a better angle on your controls. As for the XLR-K1M rig, the cage has two hot-shoe mounts and you can still get to the one on the camera so you should be all set there. It really is a great set up. Hope everything works out. Logan
