The MDR.MB is a best-in-class 2-channel wireless lens control system for cinematographers and independent content creators. It has an operational range of up to 5000ft (1.5km) and fits seamlessly onto any industry standard camera due to its incredibly small and lightweight receiver. Built for the most demanding applications, the MDR.MB controls focus, iris, and/or zoom with absolute precision using 2 brushless motors that offer faster response, smoother operation, and 4x the service life of brushed motors. Its 6-Axis controller is fully configurable and utilizes FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) over the 2.4GHz band to avoid interference in extremely challenging RF conditions. The MDR.MB integrates with all RED DSMC and DSMC2 cameras, allowing users to control EF/AF lens focus/iris with their own internal motors, shutter, ISO, and button features (2x magnification, edge, focus assist). Additionally, Foolcontrol users can make use of MDR.MB’s built-in WiFi to connect to the camera. The MDR.MB system comes as a kit and includes:

6-Axis Controller
The 6-Axis Controller gives you extraordinarily precise control over your lenses with 6 mappable axes (knob, slider, 2x wheels, and Forcezoom X + Y) and a rugged chassis that fits comfortably in your hands. Its FHSS wireless system effectively cuts through the toughest interference and transmits latency-free commands over the 2.4GHz band at up to nearly 5000ft (1.5km). Mounted at the top of the controller is an OLED screen with intuitive menu system for calibration and reference, while the back of the controller features a removable Canon LP-E6 battery, which offers up to 36 hours of continuous runtime. What sets the 6-Axis Controller apart from the 4-Axis is the inclusion of a Forcezoom joystick, which is used for controlling lens zoom with perfect accuracy.
MDR.MB Motor Driver Receiver
The MDR.MB motor driver receiver is lightweight and compact, allowing it to be easily mounted to any industry standard camera. It supports up to 2 motors for FIZ control (Focus, Iris, and/or Zoom) and includes run/stop support for all industry standard cameras. The system receives commands from any Teradek 4-Axis or 6-Axis Controller at up to 5000ft (1.5km) away and includes automatic or manual (softstop) calibration with a proprietary algorithm for torque control and lens protection. The MDR.MB is identical to the MDR.M, but includes a different backplate that allows you to power the receiver with an LP-E6 battery. Battery power makes the MDR.MB great for super lightweight setups that can run motors at a slightly reduced speed and torque.
MK3.1 Brushless Lens Motor
The MK.3.1 Brushless Motor is a revolution in wireless lens control, offering superior response, smoother operation, and 4 times the service life of brushed motors. The motor never cogs, sparks, or skips and operates nearly silently, even at high speeds.
Adjustable motor response for silky smooth to quick and sharp moves
Drive gear can be mounted on either side
Lightweight, compact chassis design with super thin and flexible cables
Support for 15mm/19mm rods with good height adjustment
Full range of gears available
2.2Nm maximum allowable torque
Currently you can only control EF lenses via LATITUDE (without external lens motors) on a RED DSMC or DSMC2 camera, for other cameras you will need to add lens motors. Remember to add a RED CTRL cable to your order to control EF lenses on RED.
