What the thread found

• Heden produces digital follow focus motors in three sizes: a miniature model, a mid-sized version, and a larger option.
• The mid-sized Heden motor combines compact dimensions similar to the miniature model with power output nearly matching the larger version.
• Heden digital motors are noticeably quieter than the M-1 model.
• Both existing Heden digital motors use the same brand micro-drive motors as Preston equipment.
• The smaller of the two Heden motors operates with minimal audible noise.

Depends on

• The product information page was not yet populated at the time of discussion.
• Noise level comparison was based on personal observation rather than measured specifications.
• No detailed specifications were provided for the newly introduced third motor model.
