High Precision Focusing
The compact design of the nFOCUS controller easily fits in the palm of your hand, and is equipped with two buttons that rotate the focusing shaft in opposite directions. Pressing one button down engages low speed mode, while holding both buttons down activates high speed mode. Furnished with an adjustable pulse width modulated (PWM) drive, rotate the knobs at the top of the controller to change the low speed focusing rate to dial in your focus. This allows you to change your focus step by step and assists in finding the perfect focus. Unlike other focus motor controllers, the nFOCUS supplies the motor with full 12V short duration pulses for sufficient power while focusing at low speeds. This Rigel Systems nFOCUS Controller & 12V DC Focuser Motor Kit comes standard with 3 AA batteries to power this controller. Two thumb screws fitted on the focuser can be loosened to easily detach the gears, allowing for manual control of the focusing knobs if desired.
