Proaim Drive One Wireless Follow focus (FF-WRLS-DR-ONE) The motor is designed to mount directly onto 15mm support rods, or 19mm rods via the optional 19mm adapter. If you have a manual follow focus on the rails, it is recommended that you remove this before mounting the Proaim motor.
When the battery is running low, the frequency light will flash slowly. The Proaim has two limits which can be set to prevent the motor over turning and damaging the lens or mo- tor. They are also useful to deal with the infinitely rotating focus ring on some of the newer SLR lenses.

Some long focal length lenses have a longer lens throw (turn of the lens barrel from infinity to close focus. In some cases, this can be too much travel for the Proaim motor to turn all the way. In these situations, there are several things you can do to help achieve full lens barrel movement. If using an SLR lens, the lens gears you are using will have a big impact on the rotation you can achieve.
