What the thread found

• The CDM-100 digital motor is designed to be lightweight and suitable for gimbals, drones, Steadicams, and compact camera systems while remaining compatible with motors from other manufacturers.
• The CDM-100 can rotate approximately 95 percent of available lenses including older models, though motor speed may reduce slightly when working with stiffer lenses.
• The CDM-100 uses a Lemo 1B connector, which is compatible with Preston and Chrosziel MagNum/Aladin MKII systems.
• For use with the Freefly Wedge, the CDM-100S variant with a Lemo 0B connector should be used instead.
• The standard cable length supplied is approximately 2 feet, and custom lengths are not currently available as a standard offering.
• Compatibility has been confirmed between the CDM-100 and Preston MDR3 control system running Firmware version 21.88.

Depends on

• Standard cable length is fixed at approximately 2 feet with no custom lengths currently available.
• Motor speed reduction occurs when rotating stiff or difficult lenses.
• The confirmation of Preston MDR3 compatibility is limited to one specific firmware version (21.88).
• Information is from a product introduction event and not from extensive field testing reports.
