STYPE Follower 2.0 - Lens Data Connection

If your lens does not have internal encoders, so you are using our external lens encoders, mount

both sensors (Zoom and Focus) on the camera using the Universal lens bracket. Check that the

mount is firmly connected and touching the camera lens on two points (points A and B shown

above), so it can't be rotated. The connector end is labelled and you can plug it into the port on the

Spyder module. Choose the correct gear for Canon (0.5m), Fujinon (0.6m), or for Cine lens (0.8m),

which will be pressed onto the shafts of encoder. The gear teeth will mesh with the external

zoom/focus ring of the lens as shown. If the lens does not have standard 0.5 gear module (Canon),

0.6 gear module (Fujinon), or 0.8m gear module (Cine), an adjustable 0.8m gear module strap

(available as part of the kit) needs to be fastened securely onto the required part(s) of the lens ring

so that it will mesh with the Cine gears in the kit.

Check that there is no

the teeth.

The Focus sensor should

be installed in a similar

fashion like the zoom

sensor shown.

For a Canon or Fujinon lens having an available connecter as shown below connect the correct lens

cable (depending on the lens manufacturer) between the lens and the Spyder module.
