Service Vision Scorpio Focus wireless lens control


(Picture of actual item for sale - not stock photo - more pictures at bottom)

The Service Vision Scorpio Focus is an ultra high quality wireless digital cinema lens control system for Focus, Iris, and Zoom - i.e. FIZ. The hand unit can be connected to the motor driver box wirelessly (most common application) or wired. The motor driver box then is wired to the motors to control the lens. The hand unit has a follow focus wheel that can accept marking discs, iris slider with marking strip, and zoom potentiometer micro knob for iris - though any control can be assigned to focus, iris, or zoom as desired. The information display shows menu items, speed, total meters/feet counter, last take counter, signal coverage indicator, low battery indicator, camera status, and zoom position scales. Motor drive box can accept power between 11-30VDC. The hand unit is powered with NP-FM50 style batteries. Lenses are automatically calibrated either by connecting motor cable to motor or from the hand unit menu - this can be saved on memory when disconnecting the equipment. It is possible to add a second hand unit in master-slave mode. Two motors can also be synchronized or even six motors two-by-two when adding a second motor driver box, plus one can rescale mark by mark the second focus in regards to the first - so this is ideal for 3D applicaitons. One can set limits for any FIZ movements. Can also run camera start/stop control from the hand unit. This system is very versatile, with brackets, gears, driver cables, and power cables available for nearly any camera/lens configuration you can imagine.

  This includes 3x motors - 1x SB 92 (5101) digital motor and 2x standard S.C.O.R.P.I.O motor. One of the motors is a "clunker" and requires repair to work normally. The other two motors work very well with no problems or backlash, though note that they have re-glued cable connectors (which is cosmetic only in nature). So consider this a 2 motor kit, with a bonus motor which could be hypothetically be repaired if desired.

  This is a fully loaded package which includes: hard carrying case with custom foam, 3x blue Arri bushings, 2x gold Panavision bushings, 2x rod brackets for motors, bracket/shield and handle for hand unit, 3x genuine batteries, 2x generic chargers, a large collection of markings discs (all have marker on them which needs to be cleaned), a wide assortment of gears for many lens types, 4x motor cables, Arri run/stop cable, Arri power cable, zoom-iris command 6-pin cable, and misc parts/screws/antennas.

  This is a well-used system that has seen some time on set. It has heavy paint wear and brassing. There is velcro and electrical tape affixed in many areas. Some connectors are re-glued securely. Though there is no damages and it is mostly in good clean presentable shape if one gets past the mentioned cosmetic wear. This is fully tested to be in good working order. Reset to factory settings and calibrated. The only functional issue is one of the three motors is for parts/repair. Otherwise, this is a good working 2 motor system. Buyer is responsible to add any brackets, gears, cables, or other accessories as needed for their specific configuration if not included or pictured here.

Ebay's About Me page

The following pertains to our listing terms and conditions. Please read so there is no surprises as to the total cost of your item or any of our polices:

Q. How much will I owe for sales tax?
A. With the current marketplace facilitator laws, Ebay is now responsible for collecting and remiting all applicable sales tax on this platform. It is no longer the reponsibility of third party sellers, so any questions regarding sales tax must be directed to Ebay. Note that many states are now mandating sales tax when making purchases from major online marketplaces such as Ebay, even if it is shipping from an out of state seller. Please check your local laws and the “shipping and payments” tab to understand your sales tax obligations on purchases. If you are a tax-exempt buyer (such as a reseller), you need to obtain tax exempt status through Ebay. We do not have the authority anymore to remove sales tax; only Ebay can do that if buyer qualifies. Please contact Ebay for any sales tax questions or issues.

Q. Why should I buy from The Broadcast Baron?
A. Rest easy knowing your gear will arrive to you in tip-top shape. We are an experienced seller specializing in broadcast/professional audio and video equipment. Every piece of gear is thoroughly assessed and repaired/maintained as needed. We even clean the items cosmetically, so they look their very best upon arrival. If the rare piece of gear arises that we are not familiar enough with to test or repair properly, service of the item will be outsourced to qualified broadcast technicians or the item will be clearly marked as untested. If any flaws remain at the time the item is listed, they will be fully disclosed so there is no surprises. We believe in customer service and will patiently answer all your questions. We value our reputation and want you to leave happy, knowing you got a great value for your money. We strive to achieve a level of customer satisfaction where The Broadcast Baron name comes to mind whenever you are looking for a piece of equipment - and you are eager to refer us to your friends!

Q. What kind of warranty is offered?
A. All items include a 30 day warranty from date of delivery. Domestic returns are free unless the buyer causes the item to arrive back in worse condition than it was received (abuse, damage, tampering, modification, removal/replacement of parts, significant usage added, etc). We reserve right to issue a partial refund in the above “buyer fault” scenarios corresponding to the severity of the issue. Return shipping cost is paid by seller for domestic returns. International returns are for item not as described only and cost paid by buyer. A partial refund, replacement, or repair is possible as alternative to return, at the agreement of both parties. Item must be returned packaged well in the same manner sent so it arrives back safely. Refund issued by same method as payment. A free copy of our full warranty terms/conditions can be obtained upon request.

Q. What happens if the gear arrives with shipping damage?
A. The Broadcast Baron takes meticulous care in packaging the items it ships and each item will be fully insured. However, in the unlikely event that shipping damage or loss does occur, you will not be held financially responsible.  Regardless of whether the shipping company eventually pays us or not on the insurance claim, we honor the 30 day warranty. We would only ask that you fully cooperate with the insurance claim and save all the original packaging.

Q. Do you sell to international buyers?
A. Yes, but not every item we sell can ship to every country. Please look at ebay's shipping and handling section (below the auction) to see which countries each particular item can be shipped to.

Q. How much is domestic shipping?
A. For most items, free shipping (including insurance) via FEDEX ground or USPS priority is included in the purchase price to any of the 48 states. Please take note if a particular item specifies free shipping or not. If you need anything faster, you will be responsible for the additional cost. Feel free to contact us for an express service shipping quote. Express shipping can also be billed to your own UPS/FEDEX/DHL account if you prefer.

Q. How much is international shipping (including Alaska and Hawaii)?
A. Buyer is responsible for actual shipping costs. Default shipping method to international locations is USPS express. Please use the USPS shipping calculator or contact us to get a shipping quote. USPS has different dimensional restrictions for different countries. It may turn out that your item, once packaged, is too large to use USPS service. Also, some items are too valuable to be able to be fully insured by USPS (also this varies by country). If this is the case, you will be given the option to use FEDEX instead and given an appropriate quote for FEDEX international costs. International shipping prices vary greatly depending on your location. Please contact us before bidding for a precise shipping quote and confirmation that the item meets the size/value requirements to go USPS. Please note that any customs charges, taxes, or duties levied by your country is your responsibility.
