Teradek CTRL.5 3-Axis Wireless Lens Controller

Facilitate precise lens control with your RT motors and receivers with the Teradek CTRL.5 3-Axis Wireless Lens Controller and its intuitive focus, iris, or zoom control. Multiple forms of communication integrated into the CTRL.5 allow for a wireless range of 5000' with compatible RT devices or 500' via 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 6. Direct connection to a monitor or camera can be achieved using the 5-pin USB and 4-pin AUX ports on the back of the device. The onboard touchscreen and upgraded operating system add to the expanded user interface.


The 5" touchscreen on the CTRL.5 has a 2000 cd/m² maximum brightness. The menu layout features improved visibility of key data, calculations, integrations, and third-party control.


Program the 11 quick-action buttons around the perimeter of the touchscreen to recall settings of your choice. The flexible UI makes for flexible setup.


Other onboard controls include a slider, pressure sensitive rocker, record button, adjustable knob with 9-levels of tension, and an additional knob to control speed or a fourth lens axis.


Thanks to the implementation of CTRL.OS, the CTRL.5 is capable of compiling real-time data from multiple connected devices simultaneously. An expandable optics library allows you to build out lens and filter kits and sync them to a cloud library for easy recall. CTRL.OS builds on the previous SmallHD and Teradek integrations for camera control with RED, ARRI, Sony, and other major brands.


Use the 5-pin USB and 4-Pin AUX ports to connect the unit directly to monitors or cameras of your choice. An NP-F/L-series battery plate supports power from compatible sources with 6 to 28V outputs. Multiple 1/4"-20 anti-twist mounting threads can secure the CTRL.5 to your camera rig or director's monitor setup, while neck and hand strap slots offer additional options.
