Zoom/Focus/Iris Control help

I used the Foxi Focus with a HVX200 and it did a great job. The problem pulling focus with the foxi appeared while going from infinite to about 30meter. In this range I observed a bump or jump while pulling closer. Also it is really hard to focus in the range from 50m to 25 because even touching the wheel very gently couses huge jumps.

For objekts closer to the camera in the range of 15m - 0.58cm the Foxi was doing a great job.. It was a great help also doing marks on the wheel and using the display with the Meters.

the jack is really a week point. Make sure to tape the cable down so there is no pulling at the jack.
Our Foxi died after day 35. I am not sure if dust entered the wheel or if there was somethig with the jack.. but while operating the wheel the focus would move around without control.

Besides the problems we were facing The Focus and the Iris worked grea and for not using a 35mm adapter and still wanting to do some focus following, the Foxi is a great way to go.
