Loon Video M-One follow focus motor repair and contact issues during business relocation

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The M-One motor can develop juddering that may be caused by a faulty potentiometer requiring replacement.
  • Loon Video experienced significant delays in fulfilling repairs and orders during a facility relocation from California to Montana in early 2011.
  • A potentiometer replacement was identified as a potential fix for M-One motors exhibiting juddering problems.

Depends on

  • Contact information and repair availability may have changed since 2011.
  • The thread does not clarify whether the potentiometer replacement was confirmed as a successful solution.
  • Repair timelines were severely impacted by the specific business relocation event and may not reflect normal operating conditions.
