Kinorg D25WS Wireless Follow Focus + A4F Servo Unit
D25WS single-axis unit
A single-motor wireless lens control system D25WS (S stands for single-motor) can control 1 motor KM-1 or KM-2. We position this model as a ‘younger brother’ of D25WD.(D stands for dual)
This model has only built-in battery which provides up to 30 operating hours and no possibility to elongate the knob with the plastic extender. All rest functions are the same as D25WD has.
D25WS can be upgraded to D25WD on your request any time within 2 weeks.
Request your local distributors for upgrade.
RGONOMIC DESIGN
Since 2011, we’ve tried half a dozen of various modifications of the hand unit. The D25W family takes its beginning from clay and wooden prototypes – the first step was to choose the most convenient shape. It took about a month to choose the best one and check it with future users. To eliminate accidental pressing, all the functional buttons are out of contact with the holding palm and fingers – namely, on the front and top sides. To make the hand unit really intuitive, we refused to use LED screens with sophisticated menus. We just took a proper account of the interaction between focus pullers and a wireless follow focus and implemented it in a minimalistic intuitive design.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
A single-motor version D25WS control only 1 motor KM-1 or KM-2. We position this model as younger brother of D25WD.(D means Dual-motor)
This model has only built-in battery which provides up to 40h. of workout and no possibility to extend the knob with the plastic extender. But all rest main functions are the same as D25WD has. D25WS can be upgraded to D25WD by your request any time. Usualy it takes from 1 up to 2 weeks. Read more at pricing page.

A4F – Fujinon Cabrio FIZ controller
A4F is a 3-axis wireless lens controller designed for the Fujinon Cabrio and S6 lens families with servo engines. The external antenna gives operating range up to 150 m.
A4F can simultaneously work with up to 3 Kinorg hand units – 1-axis wireless follow focus D25WS, 2-axis wireless follow focus D25WD and 1-axis wireless gimbal focus B20. FIZ can be controlled simultaneously. The best approach is to combine D25WD and B20 to cover all three channels of A4F.
A videoclip below demonstrates A4F with B20: the pairing by a press of a button and operating process.
DESIGN
The A4F unit has 3 buttons – one per focus, iris and zoom channel – to confirm pairing with the Kinorg hand units. Each button is also an indicator glowing or blinking depending on the channel mode.
It has 2 connectors – 5.5×2.1mm power port and 20-pins Hirose connector for the connection to the Fujifilm servo engine. Its housing is made traditionally of hardened aluminium alloy and covered black with a polymer paint.
FUNCTIONALITY
A4F can operate FIZ and the Camera RS. Besides that, the standard functions of the Kinorg hand units are applied:
Reverse mode
A-to-B transition with adjustable speed (D25WD/S)
Smooth mode (D25WD/S)
A4F switches on when the power cable is connected. The calibration is not needed – the lens FIZ rings are immediately going to the position according to the hand units knobs.
