Multi-Sensor Advantage
Leverage the ability to use multiple sensors for tracking subjects moving across the frame or managing depth in multi-layered scenes. Place sensors strategically for optimal coverage.
Integration with LCS
If compatible, integrate the Cine RT with your wireless lens control system (e.g., ARRI Hi-5, Preston HU3). This allows for dynamic focus mapping and real-time display of distances on your hand unit.
Calibration Routine
Always perform a thorough calibration upon setup to ensure the most accurate distance readings for your specific camera and lens combination.
Environment Awareness
Be mindful of reflective surfaces (glass, highly polished floors) or dense foreground elements that could cause false or erratic readings. Position sensors optimally to avoid these.
Data Logging & Review
Some kits may offer data logging. Utilise this for post-shot analysis or to re-create challenging focus pulls if necessary.
