# Wireless focus/iris/zoom (FIZ) lens control (WF-14), draft

Data version 6d29e2f86993, built 2026-10-26; facts on this page checked 2026-10-21 to 2026-10-22.

**Draft: corrections pending. Teradek is correcting the slots, fit and segments of this workflow; read it as a draft.**

A focus puller or camera operator moves the lens focus, iris and zoom wirelessly with a handheld controller that talks to a small receiver and motors on the camera, so the lens is driven without touching it. It is separate from video monitoring (WF-09) and from DIT camera control and colour (WF-10); the only links are the monitor that shows lens overlays and, on CTRL.5, optional camera settings.

- Id: `wf.WF-14`. Segments: cinema, live production, worship.
- Chain: Handset (CTRL.1/3/5) → 2.4 GHz FHSS → camera-mounted receiver (MDR.S/MDR.X) → lens motor(s) (MOTR.S/MOTR.X) on the lens; optional handset mounted on a monitor fed by a Bolt link for lens-data overlays; optional TOF.1 rangefinder.
- The chain names [Bolt](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/names/bolt.md), but no slot lists a product or service it stands for as a candidate: the chain and the slots disagree. Teradek is correcting this workflow.
- [Build a kit for this workflow](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14/kit.md): pick a product per slot and see the lines priced per currency.
- Ready kits by cameras (slots 1, 3 scale): [1 camera](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14/kit.md?preset=cameras&n=1) · [2 cameras](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14/kit.md?preset=cameras&n=2) · [3 cameras](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14/kit.md?preset=cameras&n=3) · [4 cameras](https://specs-dev.teradek.com/workflows/wf.WF-14/kit.md?preset=cameras&n=4). Each slot's pick follows the workflow sheet: its strongest-fit current candidate, then the sheet's order. It is not a Teradek recommendation; the other candidates are listed with their prices.

## Jobs it serves
