ARRI cforce MAX Basic Kit (15mm)

The ARRI cforce MAX Basic Kit (15mm) combines exceptional speed, power, and precision in a compact lens control solution designed for professional cinema productions. The kit includes a cforce MAX lens motor, drive gear, and an MRC-1 15mm rod clamp, providing a streamlined setup that integrates seamlessly into ARRI camera and lens control ecosystems. Suitable for studio, handheld, stabilizer, and drone applications, the cforce MAX motor delivers advanced performance while maintaining a lightweight, compact form factor. A built-in touchscreen display enables intuitive setup and monitoring, while Soft mode and four selectable torque levels allow operators to tailor motor response to a wide range of lens configurations and production requirements. Engineered for demanding filmmaking environments, the cforce MAX offers reliable and precise focus, iris, and zoom control while supporting efficient integration into modern ARRI workflows. Its combination of strength, speed, and flexibility makes it an ideal choice for professional cinematographers and camera assistants working across a variety of shooting scenarios. MRC-1 15mm Rod Clamp Ideal for operators who primarily use a 15mm LWS setup, the MRC-1 is a dedicated Motor Rod Clamp for use with a 15mm rod. Compared to a 19mm clamp using a 15mm reduction insert, this clamp provides increased torque and eliminates the chance of losing the insert. It features tool-less mounting, flexible positioning with up to 200° tilt, and a rotating lever for right or left side use in tight, multi-motor camera builds. Compatibility Hi-5, Hi-5 SX, WCU-4, SXU-1 hand units. OCU-1 controller. ZMU-4 controller. Master Grips. cmotion cPRO, Cinefade Vari360, Steady Zoom/Pan-Bar systems. ARRI ALEXA 35, 35 Xtreme, 265, Mini LF, and Mini cameras. Older ARRI cameras via an RIA-1 unit. Superior Strength and Speed Outputting 1.0 Nm of power and 400 t/s speed (gear teeth), the cforce MAX motor provides twice the strength and speed as the cforce mini motor in a compact form that is just 15% larger. Compared to the cforce plus motor, the MAX is twice as fast and equal in strength in a form that is 15% smaller and lighter. Versatile Touchscreen Display The versatile cforce MAX motor features both a responsive touchscreen interface and a single haptic button control. The touchscreen provides direct access to motor, display, and system settings. The weather-resistant display features an icon-driven, reduced-text interface and easy operability, even when wearing gloves. The top-mount button enables you to access essential functions like calibration and axis selection without having to navigate a menu. Customizable Home Screen Customize the multi-segment home screen with the information critical to each setup. The FIZX display shows the active Focus, Iris, Zoom, or AUX axis. The torque value is displayed both as a number from 1 to 4 and in a live bar showing the current torque relative to the maximum motor torque. The speed bar displays the current motor speed in real-time relative to the maximum speed. The motor temperature is displayed and will show a reduction in power if the temperature exceeds 158°F. Visual Status Feedback Color coding gives users immediate confirmation of the motor status. Calibration indicators include status requirements, encoder mode, and loss of signal. Assign one of nine colors to the home screen FIZX symbol to match your camera in a multicamera setup. Personalized Display Control On-set operation is maximized with flexible display settings, including: Adjustable screen brightness. Configurable screen lock timing and lock-screen brightness. Stealth at REC mode automatically dims and locks the display to minimize distractions on set. Automatic rotation ensures that the screen remains readable when your motor is underslung. Flexible Calibration Modes Flexible calibration modes include: Automatic Calibration with end-stop detection and controlled speed and torque for safe, reliable calibration. Manual Calibration with end stops set by hand or remotely via a Hi-5/SX Force-Pad to protect delicate vintage lenses or for AUX-driven setups without fixed end stops. Encoder Limits mode enables users to define custom axis limits using the motor interface or by rotating your lens' barrel. Soft Mode Ideal for vintage or stiff lenses, the Soft mode features adjustable motor acceleration and Off/Low/Medium/High modes. Indicated on the display with a feather icon, Soft mode reduces mechanical stress on your lenses and provides greater control.
