• Motor shells are produced in pairs and kept matched throughout manufacturing, with serial numbers engraved internally to ensure proper alignment of polished halves.
• The motor is compatible with Preston equipment.
• The follow focus system includes a redesigned motor and receiver, plus an updated transmitter with a new knob, side pointers, and a body thickness reduced by approximately 15mm.

Depends on
