Overview
The Heden Servo Motor is a professional lens motor used for precise remote control of focus, iris, or zoom in a cinema lens control setup. It’s built for productions that need smooth, repeatable adjustments, whether you’re pulling focus during dialogue, riding iris during lighting changes, or handling zoom moves without touching the lens.

Use Cases
Ideal for narrative and commercial work, interviews with tight depth of field, product shoots, and any production using a dedicated focus puller. It’s also useful on gimbal and vehicle mounts where hands-on lens work is difficult, and on multi-camera days where consistent lens control improves speed and repeatability.
