Ultimate Readability for Fast-Paced Focus Pulling

The cmotion cdistance is a highly compact, professional accessory designed to solve a constant on-set headache: reading critical distance and lens telemetry quickly under changing light conditions. Equipped with an ultra-bright, high-contrast seven-segment LED display, the cdistance provides focus pullers, camera operators, and dolly grips with an instantaneous, unmistakable readout. Whether you are working outside in blazing midday sun or shooting in a blacked-out sound stage, this module ensures you never have to squint at your handset again.

Versatile Parameter Display Options

Using three dedicated physical buttons on the side of the chassis, users can cycle through multiple telemetry configurations on the fly. You can set the screen to display real-time sensor measurements from active rangefinders, or track precise lens barrel data directly—including exact focus, iris, or zoom coordinates. An integrated metric/imperial toggle button guarantees you can match your measurements to whatever cine lens sets are currently pre-mapped on your hand unit.

Light, Low-Profile, and Easy to Position

Unlike bulky reference monitors, the cdistance is housed in a rugged, feather-light aluminum chassis. Its minimal footprint and modular mounting capabilities mean it can be positioned virtually anywhere on your camera rig or secured right onto the top bracket of your focus handset. This versatility lets focus pullers keep their eyes locked near the physical action, lowering visual fatigue during complex tracking shots or tight close-ups.

Plug-and-Play LBUS Connectivity

Engineered to drop straight into your existing high-end camera package, the cdistance features dual native LBUS ports. This enables clean, single-cable loops that integrate effortlessly into modern ARRI and cmotion ecosystems. The display can daisy-chain between active cforce motors, or pull direct metadata when hardwired to premium wireless hand units like the ARRI Hi-5, WCU-4, and cPRO systems.
