The ARRI SXU-1 Single Axis Wireless Hand Unit is a compact and lightweight wireless controller designed for precise single-axis (typically focus) lens control. Ideal for situations where a full FIZ unit is not required, it provides intuitive and accurate control over a single lens motor. Its ergonomic design and robust wireless connection make it a reliable choice for focus pullers needing a simple, effective wireless solution for handheld, gimbal, or drone setups.

Simplifying Workflow
The SXU-1 excels when you only need wireless focus (e.g., operating a gimbal where iris/zoom are set) or as a backup focus unit. It streamlines your setup and reduces complexity.
Lens Mapping
For precise distance readings, map your lenses within the SXU-1 or ensure you’re using encoded lenses if supported by your system.
Ergonomic Grip
Its small size makes it easy to hold and operate with one hand, allowing the focus puller to remain agile on set.
Battery Management
While offering good battery life, always have spare batteries ready, especially during long shooting days.
Signal Integrity
As with any wireless system, maintain a clear line of sight between the SXU-1 and its receiver (e.g., RIA-1) whenever possible for the most reliable connection.
