A faster servo than the previous drive unit allows for a more responsive iris, which, along with the renowned focus and zoom speeds, making the eXs-V drive optimised for sports broadcasts and live events.
Re-engineered design

An intuitive grip matches the shape of a hand for comfortable support during longer periods, while a repositioned display on the top of the unit gives better visibility when shooting.
Remote extender support

When shooting remotely from a crane or other device, the extender can be controlled from the operator via an optional switch box.
USB-C connectivity

Provides multiple benefits including remote lens control, firmware updates and outputting lens data and saved user settings
Compatible with ZSD-300D and FPD-400D

The drive unit maintains compatibility with traditional Canon broadcast demands.

Support Virtual Systems and Remote Control

The new drive unit has multiple interfaces for remote shooting plus a high resolution 16-bit encoder for accurate lens data output.
Improved ergonomics

Three 20-pin connectors, with one conveniently placed diagonally across the rear, ensures easier integration with other connections, such as Canon zoom and focus demands.

Wide angle with a high zoom ratio

A hybrid concept that offers 5.0mm wide angle to 100mm telephoto (10-200mm with 2x extender), for a wide variety of broadcast applications

High quality optical performance

With 4K resolution from the centre of the image to the outer edges and advanced lens Coatings, the lens virtually removes chromatic aberration, ghosting & flare and provides stunning UHDxs optical quality.

Compatible with virtual systems

3x 20-pin connectors enable readouts of highly accurate positional information for virtual applications even when using the zoom and focus controllers at the same time.
