The swing arm has rosettes on two sides. This permits the motor to be mounted
horizontally (above, left) or vertically (above, right). The two adjustable handles lock the
rosette position and the motor bracket to the matte box support rod.
Important tip: to prevent the motor position from changing as the handles are tightened,
first tighten the handle which clamps the motor to the rod and then tighten the rosette
handle.
Step-up gears are provided to allow the DM-1X, and DM-2 motors to drive Panavision
Zoom and Iris gears as well as the Focus, Iris, and zoom gears of Canon and Fujinon video
Lenses. Please consult our price list for a complete list of available gears.
