Wow!
THE Man ! does it again.
No end to his ingenuity.
Pure genius.

Thanks for the positive feedback.
Much appreciated.

I've run out of gaffer tape making this one so that integration will have to wait for a while.

Because there is no hunting involved by the lens and its told to go directly to a specific position without passing go or collecting £200 then any speed differences that there may be are far less apparent if visible at all.
Yes it could target the zoom operation equally as it could focus but I don't know how familiar you are with MFT powered zooms but the bumpy violence with which they move to positions would make your shot look like a shark attack shot from Jaws rather than the beach scene with Brody.
He needs to contribute a bit more then as I'm currently doing all the graft while he's clearly sloping off every afternoon to play golf or get a pedicure.

I'm pretty convinced its doable for them.

Thats very kind of you to say.

I tell you what, considering that rumour of them doing a ToF AF system came out the very day after I teased the first video of mine, I unplugged my Amazon Alexa pretty sharpish!
What you are seeing now (and I stress now) is single point, nearest object you point it at and continuous.  I keep droning on about it being part of a more comprehensive focus system but the rest of it does provide more context in terms of an overall solution and how the operational modes dovetail.
Again, this is the jumping off point and what it does NOW isn't the end of what it will do when its production ready.
When I'm back from this trip, I will do something about the overall controller (the wheeled thing with the wires hanging out of it) that will flesh this out a bit more.
With regard to the emitter, it won't cause any issue to anyone's sensor. 
It will blind a human of course but your camera will be fine

This can be set to be the equivalent of back button focus so it can be momentary and only active while you have the controller wheel pressed in.
When released, it detaches and you can use the manual focus wheel or just leave it parked until you engage it again etc.

Through the smart one, yes.
Its a tricky question as there are a couple of factors that can influence it quite a lot depending on some choices I make design wise.
It will be price appropriate to the price of the cameras it is designed for is about all I can say for now.
No one likes AF enough to pay more than the cost of their camera to improve it!
 

They should consider hiring you tbh

I don't own a bmpcc 4k, but I would definitely contribute to this Kickstarter (1) in hopes that the tech eventually makes it's way over to Panasonic cameras and (2) even if it doesn't, I'd love to just say thanks for the gx85 cinelikeD hack.

I'm pretty convinced its doable for them.

It is continuous but we were just moving between two targets.
If the man had come over to steal the plant it would have tracked him and ditto if the plant had come to eat us.
It tracks nearest point but is driveable.
Take what it is that you see it doing now as a jumping off point for what is possible as more info and nuance will be released over the coming months.
I'll keep it out of this thread now and in the main one so normal Pocket4K discussions can be resumed.

I've probably said it before but whoever makes an HDMI input version of this tiltable EVF will make a fortune.
