agNum by Chrosziel - the first truly ergonomic wireless lens control system MagNum offers a striking new concept for remote lens control systems. It is a focus puller's dream come true: Ergonomics perfectly tuned to the requirements of 1st AC's turn long days on the set into pure joy. A dual band frequency selector ensures transmission reliability. Intuitive handling guided by menus. Professional users participated heavily in optimizing ergonomics and functionality. They helped to make sure MagNum offers outstanding value for money.

Chrosziel offers MagNum kits which offer a significant price advantage over purchasing each component separately. MagNum 101 Kit Single Channel (MN-101KIT-M) is based on the single channel version which controls focus. The MagNum kits contain all the equipment you need in order to remote control a lens: One motor per channel with gears of all pitches. A clamp holder for 15 and 19 mm rods. All necessary motor cables, a power cable with D-Tap plug and a sturdy hard case with foam inserts for safe transport of the MagNum kit.
