The Auto Focus of the Future - DJI Focus Pro – A Disruptive Follow Focus System - Test & Review

DJI set out to create the Focus system of the future by combining wireless focus pulling with disruptive LiDAR and AI technology. We had access to the Focus Pro before the official announcement to take you on a deep dive… including explaining how the system works, what features it offers, how you set it up, how to rig it, and how you operate it. We tested the Focus Pro in different scenarios including a hole set of stress test that would be impossible for PDAFs and humans… and of course, we tried to fool the AI to figure out the limits.

Get some popcorn, and let’s dive into the Future of Focus!

Disclaimer: We collaborated with DJI for this episode and we got the DJI Focus Pro and the Transmission system free of charge. As always, we strive to give you our honest opinion based on our experience and our tests.
