ARRI ZMU-4 Zoom Main Unit Basic Set

Product Overview

OVERVIEW

The ARRI ZMU-4 Zoom Main Unit Basic Set comes with the ZMU-4 Zoom Main Unit, RF-EMIP radio module, and accessories to provide flexible connectivity and control. The ZMU-4 is a modern version of the classic and ubiquitous zoom control. Rugged, weather-resistant, and ergonomically designed, the ZMU-4 seamlessly transitions between wired and wireless configurations. Its unprecedented connectivity enables versatile, clutter-free camera builds and faster on-set workflows.

With the launch of the Hi-5 hand unit, ARRI introduced the fifth generation of its Electronic Control System (ECS). The ZMU-4 joins that new ecosystem, sharing the Hi-5's swappable RF-EMIP, RF-2400, and upcoming RF-900 radio modules, with different frequencies for different territories and shooting situations.

Whichever radio module is chosen, it fits neatly into a recessed slot in the ZMU-4 and becomes integral to the slimline form factor. Wireless operation is more streamlined than with any other system; there are no external radio boxes and no additional cables or setting up - just unplug from the camera and go.

In its most basic configuration, the ZMU-4 can control cforce motors via the LBUS connector without any wireless capability. The CAM connector opens the door to run/stop, camera control, and user button activation for ARRI and third-party cameras. Slot a radio module into the ZMU-4 and it becomes a powerful tool for transmitting and receiving radio signals from multiple ECS devices. DPs and camera operators can jump from a dolly or tripod to a remote monitor station and still use the same muscle memory on the same tools..
