A decade of honing, striving for simplicity to the extreme, We have always pondered on how to make the follow focus system simpler and more user-friendly, So we had to start from scratch and rebuild. LIVE AIR 3 SMART is born for simplicity, abandoning all cables, fancy screens, and complicated menus. Users don’t need to spend time learning more, nor do they need to look at unnecessary data. Simply insert the battery into the motor, and it powers on automatically. Everything is designed for faster, simpler, and easier operation.
Evolution and Innovation
Four Major Milestones of PDMOVIE Follow Focus System
2013
Launched the first generation of the "REMOTE AIR" wireless focus pulling system.
2013
After arduous research and repeated trial and error, we successfully launched the first generation of the "REMOTE AIR" wireless focus pulling system. This wireless focus puller has brought users an unprecedented experience with its outstanding performance and excellent cost performance. At the same time, it has laid a solid foundation for the development of subsequent products.
2015
First-generation "REMOTE AIR PRO" professional-grade three-channel wireless follow focus was born.
2015
Our proud first-generation "REMOTE AIR PRO" professional-grade three-channel wireless follow focus was born. What sets this follow focus apart is the integration of the focus motor and signal receiver module for the first time, allowing for intercommunication between the motors. To achieve more convenient interaction control, a controller perfectly fitted to the iPhone screen was specially designed, along with the development of the popular "REMOTE AIR APP." This innovation has been highly appreciated and praised by numerous professionals in the film and television industry, further strengthening our determination to create even better follow focus systems. 「Review History」
2018
Created the first generation of "LIVE AIR" single-soldier-level full wireless focus puller.
2018
Through continuous self-affirmation and negation, we have abandoned all the gimmicks and burdens, dared to subvert tradition, and created the first generation of "LIVE AIR" single-soldier-level full wireless focus puller. By fully streamlining and reducing the size of the controller and motor, we have achieved a minimalist design. At the same time, we have abandoned the screen and equipped the controller and motor with independent power systems, enabling wireless control of the lens without the need for any cables. This innovation has made it easier for more users to use wireless focus pullers and has brought them higher-level and more diverse shooting possibilities. 「Review History」
2023
Simple, convenient, intelligent, and practical - these are its labels. Welcome to use "Motor Smart".
2023
With ten years of product development experience, we have turned ideas into reality. We have successfully made the world's smallest wireless controller with self-contained power and a 1/4 screw, while the motor integrates signal transmission and reception, motor driving, laser ranging, and independent power supply. Through lens data collected by the REMOTE AIR APP over the years and intelligent AI algorithms, the motor now has autofocus capabilities. You can choose to manually control the lens, or use intelligent automatic lens control. This huge innovation will provide more possibilities for focus pulling applications for film and television professionals. Simple, convenient, intelligent, and practical - these are its labels. Welcome to use "LIVE AIR 3 SMART".

AI Lens Model Virtual Technology
20000+
Since the release of REMOTE AIR APP in 2015, users have shared over 20,000 sets of lens data with us
512+
Through analysis and extraction of the data, we have built a set of 512 virtual lens models
AI
Achieve unparalleled accuracy in autofocus by automatically retrieving the closest lens model through lens marking, and then utilizing AI algorithms to simulate actual lens data.
A vast database of over 20,000 sets of lens data
Through data refinement, we have constructed over 512 virtual lens models
During the lens marking process, automatically invoke the lens model that closely resembles the actual lens, and then utilize AI algorithms to simulate data that closely resembles the characteristics of the real lens.
