Asked by: Kyle
There are many systems that can control the lens gears on the DZOFilm Tango 65-280mm T2.9 S35 Zoom Lens (ARRI PL & Canon EF, Feet). The Tilta Nucleus M is a great option or the lesser priced NANO II. There are higher end systems like Teradek F.I.Z. and then top end like ARRI HI-5, for examples.
