The HEDEN YMER 1-Motor Lens Control Kit with M21VE-L allows you to wirelessly control focus with the included M21VE-L motor and supports a second motor, sold separately, for wireless iris control. Additionally, it supports an optional LANC controller unit for wired zoom control. The included transmitter and receiver provide up to 330' of wireless transmission indoors and up to 1640' line-of-sight transmission in open areas. The receiver is capable of driving up to two motors (focus/iris), one at a time, switching between them at the press of a button. It supports the HEDEN M21VE-L, M26VE, VM35, LM30, and CM55 motors. The system provides fast, accurate responsiveness and high motor speed.
The M21VE-L is a rod-mount lens motor featuring a 1 Nm torque and ultra-compact size that's highly suitable for gimbal and drone operations. The motor comes with a 19mm rod-mount bracket and includes a 15mm bushing. A snap-on 0.8 gear module is included while interchangeable 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 modules, sold separately, are also supported. The gear module can be attached to either side of the gear housing. The motor mounts in a vertical position on the side of the lens.
A key feature of the YMER system is HEDEN's LenSaver Calibration, which provides a simple and effective way of calibrating for follow focus control. Press the "calibration" button, move your lens by hand from end-stop to end-stop, and then press the "calibration" button again as the last step. This is done without risk of damaging delicate lenses or lenses without end-stops. Another key feature is Manual Override, which lets you take manual control of the lens without affecting calibration. This feature allows the DP or camera operator to take manual control of the lens from the focus puller.
The YMER 1 transmitter's comfortable control knob offers very smooth rotation and features adjustable resistance for varying needs. Limit points can be set for easier focus adjustments, and the rotation range can be increased for finer control. Mounting threads on the rear allow attaching other devices, and an onboard button also allows you to remotely trigger recording. The transmitter is powered by a Sony NP-FM500H compatible battery, sold separately.
The YMER 1+1 receiver offers one wireless channel for focus and iris control, and one wired channel for an optional HEDEN LANC controller for zoom control.

HEDEN M21VE-L Motor (256 Encoder, 3.3k ID Resistor)
The HEDEN M21VE-L Motor is a quiet, small, lightweight lens motor for driving focus, zoom, or iris rings on cinema or ENG lenses. The included 0.8 MOD gear interfaces with standard cine lenses or photo lenses with gear rings and can be attached on either side of the motor. While it won't drive the stiffest of lenses, the motor's small size lends itself to workflows where rig size and weight are at a premium. Gimbals, Steadicams, and drones can all benefit from the weight reduction of a smaller motor. Secure the motor itself to your rig using the 19mm rod clamp, which includes a 15mm bushing for lightweight setups. This particular model of M21VE-L features 256 encoders and a 3.3k resistor for compatibility with HEDEN and Bartech equipment. A 7-pin LEMO connection provides both power and control signals to the motor from the receiver or motor driver.
HEDEN Motor Cable for CARAT System
The HEDEN Motor Cable for CARAT System allows the HEDEN CARAT receiver to drive a M21VE, M21VE-L, or M26VE motor. This cable is terminated by 7-pin LEMO-type connections.
