The core components of the system have been designed to be modular, allowing for greater flexibility.
The focus controller, zoom controller, main operating unit, and the monitor can all be separated from each other.
All of the components, except the monitor, click into place and use MBUS connectors. This is a clever design and it allows you to customize the system depending on your needs. Having a modular system for a FIZ controller makes a lot of sense for certain applications.
Every one of the components can be powered separately, or if they are all connected, they can be powered from one source. It is great to see this type of flexibility because it allows you to do things such as directly attaching the focus wheel to the MR6 monitor.
By also separating the components, individual members of your crew can control just one axis, instead of one person having to do all three. This is handy with complex shots where both iris, focus, and zoom all need to be adjusted at once.
In a lot of ways, the MCS-2 resembles a hybrd combination of the ARRI cmotion cPRO hand unit and the ARRI Hi-5. It is good to see that Movcam hasn’t just tried to directly copy an existing product that is already on the market. They have come up with their own unique system.
The nice thing about the MCS-2 Wireless FIZ System & MR6 Focus Overlay Monitor is you literally get everything you need. There is nothing worse than buying a kit where you get it and then you find you need to go buy a cable or component to get it to work. While you may need to order additional cables depending on what camera system you are using, for the most part, Movcam provides everything to get you up and running quickly.
The MCS-2 Wireless FIZ System & MR6 Focus Overlay Monitor comes in a hard case that has foam cutouts for all of the components. This is nicely made and there is a space for all of the separate components.
The MCS-2 provides complete camera control such as frame rate, shutter angle, exposure index, white balance, ND filter, playback, etc.
