Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Grace ★★★★★

Took my Feathertouch 3.5 from manual to precise electronic focus. The thirdLynx circuit is noticeably smoother than my old stepper, and the clutch holds perfectly even with a heavy camera rig on.

Kevin X. ★★★★★

Installed this on my Feathertouch 3.5 and the thirdLynx circuit responds instantly to focus commands—no lag at all. The motor's best-in-class clutch keeps everything secure, making fine adjustments feel precise.

Ella K. ★★★★★

Took me a bit to dial in the backlash settings, but once I did, the focus shifts on my 3.5-inch Feathertouch are buttery smooth and repeatable. That ThirdLynx circuit really makes a difference in responsiveness.
