DJI Focus Pro, DJI's first independent Automated Manual Focus (AMF) lens control system, provides cinematographers with a robust and comprehensive focus solution, ushering in a new era of human-machine collaborative focus control.
For the first time, DJI introduces a LiDAR focus system as an independent product, allowing an extensive user base to experience the freedom of creative focusing possibilities.
The newly designed DJI Focus Pro Grip features a 2.5-hour system power supply, intuitive screen operations, auto-calibration and data storage for 15 lenses, Bluetooth start/stop recording, and handheld shooting capabilities, offering an exceptional LiDAR focusing experience, even without a Ronin stabilizer.
The Grip, equipped with a full-color touchscreen, supports the adjustment of LiDAR and motor parameters and can present a real-time view from the LiDAR's perspective, granting operators complete awareness during use.
The DJI Ronin app features built-in lens data that can be imported into the Focus Pro Motor via Bluetooth connection to the Grip. A single Motor can store data for up to 15 lenses.
The Grip can directly connect to mirrorless cameras via Bluetooth for wireless start/stop recording. It can also pair with the DJI Ronin app over Bluetooth to complete the calibration of manual lenses
The Grip supports a 2.5-hour power supply for both the LiDAR and focus motor. It also allows for continuous use while charging through third-party PD fast-charging batteries.
LiDAR human-subject focus distance is now extended to 20 meters, approximately three times that of the previous generation, effortlessly handling shooting with telephoto lenses. A super-wide focus FOV of 70° easily accommodates edge compositions and close-up shots, significantly enhancing creative freedom.
The upgraded LiDAR now boasts 76,800 ranging points, a leap of 77% over the previous generation, sharpening human-subject edge detection while effectively reducing focus hunting. In addition, with a LiDAR refresh rate of 30 Hz, focus reliably locks on even when the subject is moving quickly.
Focus Pro consists of four major modules: LiDAR, Motor, Grip, and Hand Unit. Cinematographers can flexibly combine these modules based on different shooting demands.
With the groundbreaking AMF mode applied for the first time in both the Hand Unit and the Grip, DJI Focus Pro sets a new standard for human-machine collaboration in focus control, catering to a diverse range of creative demands
In AMF mode, as the autofocus operates, the front dial on the Grip (or the focus knob on the Hand Unit) rotates simultaneously. This allows cinematographers to both visually observe the focus status on the monitor and to intuitively perceive the autofocus logic through tactile feedback from their fingertips, enabling prompt decisions on when to manually intervene.
Focus control is always at your fingertips. In AMF mode, manual focus control can be engaged and disengaged in milliseconds. This not only captures the operator's intent with enhanced precision, ensuring coherent visual storytelling, but also significantly boosts on-set efficiency by reducing disruptions due to focus mode changes.
The innovative AMF feature enables limitless creative possibilities. In AMF mode, the LiDAR, together with human intervention, yields a focus experience that's as elegant and dynamic as it is efficient and convenient. It is a seamless hybrid experience that combines the power and reliability of technology with the intuition and creativity of human operators.

Press and hold the dial steady to achieve AMF focus lock, ideal for scenes with foreground obstructions.
Empowered by the DJI Focus Pro LiDAR, cinematographers can gain a more intuitive understanding of a subject's spatial position and utilize the LiDAR Waveform focus assistance [4] through the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor, achieving a bird's-eye view of the entire scene.
In addition, LiDAR Waveform offers supplementary information like subject position, a real-time focal plane reference line, and distance scale, which help evaluate the autofocus status and anticipate the optimum moment for manual intervention.
