Overview:
One of the main features of the Nebula Focus is its very low weight. At 180g, it is a perfect addition to a gimbal setup, as the minimal extra weight could make it rather easy to compensate for when balancing on a stabiliser.
In addition, the drive unit of the Nebula Focus has been designed to be mounted on the hot shoe of any brand of DSLR or mirrorless camera, allowing for most of the weight to remain centred on the camera — another plus for users wishing to integrate the Nebula Focus into their gimbal stabilizer such as Nebula 4100, 4200, 4300, 5100, 5300, Zhiyun Crane, Crane 2, Feiyu A2000 etc. Of course, the Focus supports rod mounting as well for more traditional setups.
The remote unit controls the drive over Bluetooth, which allows for a maximum distance of around 10 metres or around 33 feet.
The remote features a small OLED screen with battery and connection indicators, and supports the recording of focus points for repeatable focus pulling. However, instead of a more traditional follow focus-style wheel, Filmpower have opted for a small thumbwheel to control focus.
The drive unit is capable of measuring distance with ultrasound up to five metres in front of the camera, displaying on the remote unit how far away the subject is. Filmpower states that this feature may be used to bring autofocus to manual lenses in the future.
