Thank you!
I was waiting for this solution for a while. I wish the process of calibrating the lidar would be without the gimbal. Unfortunately, DJI gimbal is necessary for initial calibration. After that the lidar or the motor will store up to 3 lenses profiles and the lidar calibrations is not necessary.
Here is text manual:
Attach DJI follow focus motor and DJI Lidar to the camera. I’m using DJI Ronin S raising plate upside down and DJI 12mm Rod Mount.
Connect one end of a USB-C cable to the Lidar and another one the motor.
With a second USB-C cable connect one end to the motor and another to the DJI RS 3 Pro Gimbal
Power on the gimbal
Slide right to access Lidar menu
Go to Lidar settings menu
Measure Lidar installation distance on the camera from the sensor to the front of the Lidar. Then enter the installation distance at the Lidar settings menu in mm.
Go to Lens profile and add a new lens profile. Enter Focal length of the lens and then start motor calibration.
To Calibrate the Lidar place a subject one meter in front of the Lidar.
Turn on the camera and using the focus wheel on the gimbal - adjust focus on the subject.
Then place the subject 4 meters away and adjust the focus again. Confirm the settings.
Test the Lidar moving a subject in front of it.
Unplug the focus motor from the gimbal and then connect power from the camera battery or another source.
I’m using D-Tap to USB-C cable which can supply from 7 to 16 Volts. With lower Voltage the system will not work. Link to the cable amzn.to/3pB7xvc
Wait for about 20 seconds for a light to appear on the Lidar.
Press Fn button to select correct lens profile.
Press Fn twice to calibrate the motor
Press AF/MF to activate autofocus.

Fantastic overview, thank you. It works! ...As long as it's powered correctly. From what I can see, people who can't get it to work aren't using 12V power. Thank you for doing this explanation.

Thank you for a very informative video tutorial!

@failureisland2484 Год назад

Putting this here for anyone that is struggle to get this working: The type of DTap to USB C cable is very important. If you watch closely he explains his cable supplies 7-14volts. Many Dtap to USB C cables from big companies such as Small Rig include step down voltage converters that change this voltage from 12-14v down to 5v. You'll see this as a small black box between the Dtap and the USB C end. Here's the tricky part, some of these cables say they are compatible with higher voltages, but this is ONLY using the USB C PD specification, which DJI does NOT support. This is a specification that allows the voltage requesting device to tell the power supply how much voltage to send. In order for this to work, you need a cable that provides 7-14volts without alteration, and without being USB PD spec. These aren't as common because you can fry devices if it can't handle the higher voltage A cable like this one will work: www.amazon.com/PUSOKEI-Flexible-Universal-Digital-Cameras/dp/B0BD5MBQZN/ref=sr_1_15?crid=216629133FU6N&keywords=dtap+to+usb+c&qid=1689016882&sprefix=dtap+to+usb+c+%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-15 Hope this helps someone! DJI - please provide the fact you don't support USB C PD more clearly in your manuals as it's a very common standard now.

@altercinema4311 Год назад

Great tutorial! Does the LiDar keep the lens data if unplugged from power or does it need the gimble every time it first powers on?

@UladzimirTaukachou Год назад

The motor keeps the lens data even if you unplug the power from the lidar and the motor.

@adwoaduku8029 Год назад

You still need the gimbal anyway.

How long does the battery last with the focus motor, raveneye and LiDAR attached to the gimbal? Should I get another battery grip and a v mount battery?

The battery last much less than without all accessories. I would strongly suggest getting second battery if you plan to run long days.

I connected power from v mount battery, with type-c to type -c. Green light is blinking on my lens profile. Does it means there is no enough power?

Hi! I'm using DJI TB-50 battery with a V-mount adapter. You may need a USB cable that can supply required voltage. Check the video description for the D-Tab cable link.

Does LiDar remember 3 lens profiles and settings independently from RS3 gimbal? I wonder what happens if I get another LiDar. Can the second LiDar unit keep its own lens profiles and settings independently?

I think so. The info about lenses stored in the lidar.

@GrandPoune Год назад

Hello . Thanks for this revue. It’s works for me after followed your way . My question : if I have différents subjects on my frame , how can I choose the target to make sure the focus is right where I want it to be… (same way when I use it with my Rs3Pro). Possible to track the subject? How ? Possible to plug into the RavenEye through the LiDAR with another usb cable and get from the HDMI output a monitoring in the DJI App ? Just to get the opportunity to control the LiDAR target ? And maybe use also the tracking mode . I don’t think so but in case… I préfère to ask . Thanks again for you work and thanks for your return !

@UladzimirTaukachou Год назад

There is no way to choose the target without the gimbal. I didn't think about connecting the Raveneye. I may try it when I'll have time to experiment.

@GrandPoune Год назад

@@UladzimirTaukachou Thanks for your answer. Yes.. not very surprised that is not possible. Yes, It will be interesting to know if the raveneye can work with and help for the Lidar monitoring (including target choice).

@UnchartedWorlds Год назад

Hi I have same lens as you and URSA Mini pro 12k as well. When you added the lens focal lenght at 50mm, does that mean if you later change the focal lenght to 75mm, you will have to always have gimbal close by to enter this new value? Or with Pictor zoom lenses, focus will remain the same even if focal lenght changes? Greatfull for response, thank you for making this video, I was wondering about this... Will subscribe if you answer :)

@UladzimirTaukachou Год назад

Hi! I hope you enjoy filming with your camera as I do. This number like 50mm or 75mm etc it just for you to know what profile that is. It doesn't affect anything. It just a name of the profile.

@dhyanverco Год назад

If you swap out lenses - do you need to install the focus motor on the lens gears on the exact same place everytime, or need to recalibrate?

@UladzimirTaukachou Год назад

When you swap a lens you'll need to recalibrate focus motor by pressing Fn twice on the Lidar.

Since the DZO Film Pictor Zoom lens is parfocal, where focus is kept even if you use the zoom ring, can change your zoom and have the lidar system continue to work without any issues?

@PunishedSeeker Год назад

Is there anything that could reset or erase the manual lens settings memory, forcing you to setup with the RS3 Pro again? or can you sell your RS3 Pro and use DJI Lidar forever on its own? Also, will the DJI Lidar work with small pancake lenses like the Canon 50mm nFD?

@UladzimirTaukachou Год назад

Hi! DJI motors will store info about lenses. I don't have to do focus calibration every time. I just did it once. So, in theory you can sell you RS3 after calibration. Also, I heard rumors, that DJI plans to make a handle/battery to calibrate DJI Lidar focus without the gimbal... I don't know about pancake lenses.

The thing that stops me from buying this system is knowing I would never be able to perfectly measure the distance between the lidar and the sensor of the camera. I mean, you can’t even see the sensor.

@UladzimirTaukachou 7 месяцев назад

On many cameras there is a mark which looks like "o" with a line crossing it. This is the location of the sensor. From this mark we measure distance to the subject.

Он конечно не всегда ловил идеально фокус, но работает. Киношная линза создает другое изображение... Для настройки нужен гимбал в любом случае, но инфа сохраняется и можно потом использовать эти 3 присета с разными линзами без гимбала. vimeo.com/showcase/7575501/video/877512371
