FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this kit?
The primary benefit is providing a stable, adjustable, and versatile mounting solution for the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR, making it easier to integrate into various camera rigs for optimal performance.
Do I need any other accessories to use this kit?
You will need a camera rig equipped with a 15mm rod system to effectively mount and utilize the Cine Mount Kit and its associated components.
Can this kit be used with lenses other than those compatible with DJI Focus Pro?
Yes, the kit is designed to mount the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR unit itself. The LiDAR system then works with compatible lenses to provide autofocus assist.
How does the pivoting rod function?
The pivoting rod with a rubber o-ring allows the LiDAR unit to be tilted, enabling fine-tuning of its angle and proximity to the lens, which is useful for achieving the best focus tracking.
Is the Mini Lock Male Plate removable?
Yes, the Mini Lock Male Plate is designed for quick release and can be detached from the cage for easier mounting and dismounting from your rig.
What is the purpose of the bubble level?
The integrated bubble level on the 15mm rod helps ensure that your LiDAR unit is mounted horizontally, contributing to more accurate data capture.
Can I mount the LiDAR above and below the lens?
Yes, the design specifically allows for the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR unit to be quickly centered and positioned either above or below your camera lens using the single adjustment knob.
Troubleshooting
LiDAR unit is not stable
Ensure the cage is securely fastened around the LiDAR unit and that all anti-twist mounts on the cage are engaged with your rig's mounting points.
Adjustment knob is stiff or loose
Check for any obstructions in the rod block mechanism. For stiffness, apply a minimal amount of silicone lubricant. For looseness, ensure the knob is properly seated and tightened.
Quick-release plate not engaging securely
Verify that the plate is properly aligned with its receiving mount and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Clean any debris from the quick-release interface.
Difficulty centering the LiDAR unit
Ensure the 15mm rods are parallel and that the rod block is sliding smoothly. Confirm the rod block is correctly oriented for the 60mm spacing.
