The Lens Link is a wireless transmitter unit that is designed to control supported motors from a greater range.
The Lens Link unit can connect to an LDT-V2 unit wirelessly via a set frequency, which will pass the command to the Preston MDR.
The range can be extended further when an LDT-RX1 unit is used betten the Iris Extender and LDT-V2.
Please note that the Lens Link must be paired with an LDT-V2 and Preston lens control system.

The Lens Link has a hole to mount the unit to a 3/8" stand.
The Lens Link compatible with any SMA male antenna which works between 2200-2500 mhz freq.
The Lens Link can work at any frequency between 2200mhz and 2500mhz. This is configurable in the settings.
Ensure the Lens Link is set to the same frequency as the LDT-V2 or LDT-RX1.
Please note that the DCS wireless system only works between DCS branded products and requires an LDT transmitter and receiver. For instance an LDT transmitting device (such as the LDT-V2/DCS Bridge) cannot be connected to a 3rd party router or other receiver and must be paired with a LDT reciever (such as the LDT-RX1).
Power the unit via either PWRE cable (mains power), or via a battery (same as Preston battery).
Navigate the menu to select the frequency matching that of the target LDT-V2.
The unit functions the same as the R2 unit - all settings should be chosen to continue normal usage.
