WARNING: ALWAYS use the RED motor cable with the appropriate internal identification resistor when using RED
Lens Control Motors with third-party motor drivers. Any damage caused to motors or motor drivers resulting
from the use of third-party cables will not be covered under warranty.
NOTE: RED is in the process of testing and developing additional cables with the appropriate internal identifica-
tion resistor to support seamless communication with other third-party motor systems.
COMPATIBLE LENSES
RED Lens Control Motors can be equipped with accessory drive gears to interface with lenses using any of the
following gear modules:

0.8 M
 0.4 M

0.5 M

0.6 M
As with most lens control motors, there will be some lenses that will be too large, too heavy, or too stiff for the
motor. Additionally, cold ambient temperatures may also make it more difficult for the motor to rotate the lens.
NOTE: For information about lenses with default profiles, refer to
“W.M.D. Lens Profiles” on page 28 .
