FAQ

Why did Ignite Digi make this cable?

DJI released the Focus Pro system on April 9th 2024. Since release, the only way to trigger a camera's run/stop from the DJI Focus Pro Hand Unit was via Bluetooth. That works fine for prosumer level cameras that feature Bluetooth connectivity, but obviously most high end cinema cameras do not.

Initially, DJI firmware did not allow Run/Stop cables to work. But with more recent firmware releases, these cables have been made possible. For whatever reason, DJI don’t seem to be interested in making R/S cables, so Ignite did!

I already own the other Ignite Run/Stop cable (RS4 Pro + Focus Pro Grip), why can’t I use that cable?

This answer is referring to these other R/S cables: IG.100371, IG.100372, IG.100259, IG.100434, IG.100373.

Unfortunately, this is a DJI limitation. DJI designed two different Run/Stop protocols 😩

This means one Run/Stop cable only works with the Focus Pro Motor port, and the other Run/Stop cable only works with the RSS Camera Control Port found on the gimbals and Focus Pro Grip.

Does this R/S cable carry power?

No. This cable triggers Run/Stop only.

Can I use the older DJI 3-Channel Follow Focus Hand Unit (released 2023)?

No. Because this older hand unit cannot communicate with the Focus Pro motors.

What is the rated distance from the Focus Pro Hand Unit to Focus Pro Motor?

The DJI Focus Pro Hand Unit connects to the Focus Pro Motors via their internal 2.4GHz radio band. The range is rated at 100m (CE) / 520ft (FCC).

Can I plug this cable into a DJI RS Focus Motor (released 2022)?

No. This cable is not compatible with the DJI RS Focus Motor (2022) and Tilta Nucleus Nano II motor.

**Notes for C70 & C80

The Canon C70 plays nicely with the RS3 Pro / RS4 Pro when connected via DJI USB-C cable. This enables Run/Stop and focus control of electronic lenses. Great!

Sadly, the C80 does not work the same way 👎 The camera body’s USB-C port functions differently.

If you would like to trigger Run/Stop from the Camera Control Button on RS gimbal, you’ll need our LANC cable (IG.100373). Electronic lens control not supported
