Personally this didn&#8217;t bother me as I rarely ever use servos on lenses, even in my 18 years of news I was a manual zoom pin guy , the only time I used a servo was for live OBs. Some people who want the MK lenses though have missed this feature and if you use servos I understand why. It does give the camera and lens a more ENG style feel that is important to some cameramen.\u00a0I do absolutely see why some people like them. Enter Chrosziel who have stepped in with the CDM-MK-Z motorised lens attachment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-38958 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-670x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"447\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-310x207.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/447;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-38958\" src=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-670x447.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-670x447.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-310x207.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-690x460.jpg 690w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05678.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>This little box screws into the assistant side of the camera into the two screw holes of the lens (Fuji clearly thinking ahead here!) then you run their lanc cable from the Chrosziel box into the remote port of your FS5 or FS7 and then plug the cable from the grip that was in the remote port into the other lanc for port on the box.

Obviously if you need to power something like an Inferno at the same time then you have a slight issue, but you could always get a dedicated battery with a D-Tap port and attach it to the camera.

So unless you have the extension back you will also probably have to do the inelegant solution that I mentioned for the FS5 above.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gopb.co\/filmconvert\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"gal[38949]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-38954 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-670x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"513\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-670x513.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-310x237.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-690x528.jpg 690w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-340x260.jpg 340w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/513;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-38954\" src=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-670x513.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-670x513.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-310x237.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-768x588.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-690x528.jpg 690w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696-340x260.jpg 340w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DSC05696.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With regards to the Chrosziel servo itself it works very well. You control the servo via the rocker on the FS5 or FS7 grip. It won&#8217;t work for the top handle zoom rocker as the servo cable is only going from the grip rocker not the camera itself. It has a smooth slow start with a lovely ramp and it also goes nice and fast at it&#8217;s maximum.<\/p>\n<p>There are three different modes built into the motor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EB \/ Documentary,<\/li>\n<li>Silent, and<\/li>\n<li>Live \/ Hard Cut Mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can choose the different modes by pressing the zoom rocker for round about 5 seconds, then the green LED flashes very fast while changing the zoom mode and after that it blinks 1, 2 or 3 times* \u2013 depends on the zoom mode you chose (* 1 = EB \/ Documentary (Very slow, maximum speed is 60%in this) \/ 2 = Silent (max speed 45 %<span style=\"color: #0432ff;\">)<\/span>\/ 3 = Live \/ Hard Cut (fastest speed, very responsive). To cycle through these all you need to do is hold the zoom rocker down one way for a couple of seconds to switch to the next mode, and the other way, hold to reverse.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MgrWjxuSeMU\" width=\"560\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>It sits snuggly onto the Fuji MK lens and doesn&#8217;t at all get in the way, the simple connection to the camera is easy to set up. The only issues really is that power part and that&#8217;s not their fault, it&#8217;s down to the lack of power outs on these cameras!<\/p>\n<p>I found myself actually really liking using the servo. Whilst I will never see me doing a slow creep in zoom I did like using it for subtle reframes or even some crash in zooms when shooting fly on the wall. It looked more controlled than using a zoom pin which looks a little fast when rolling.<\/p>\n<p>You can pick one up at the links below. It isn&#8217;t cheap but it seems really well made and Chrosziel have always made quality stuff in my experience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38959\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38959\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.proav.co.uk\/chrosziel-mk-zoom-lens-motorization\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-38959 lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-670x278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"278\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-670x278.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-310x128.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-768x318.jpg 768w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-690x286.jpg 690w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36-628x260.jpg 628w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Screenshot-2018-02-20-16.58.36.jpg 1800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px;
