Yes, with a motor add on (which won't necessarily be a Tilta one but could be) it will then be a generic product that can be used on any camera with any lens rather than being specific to the Blackmagic as it currently is.
A motor option will not be far behind the release of the Blackmagic version.
 

Yes, its the PBC that does the work driving the lens via the camera so it is exactly the same as it is now with the difference being that it translates the distance position from the AF adapter against the calibration points it has for the lenses.
What could possibly go wrong  

The Panasonic/Leica cameras don't support the lens being driven externally to a specific position so everything must be done with offsets.
This is manageable of sorts but it only has two values to move the lens by which are by single steps or by 10 steps which makes trying to provide a smooth transition difficult.
You can see how rough this is by using their own ImageApp to control the camera over wifi.
Over time, it may be that they provide a better way to do this (and also by Bluetooth LE rather than wifi as its a better way to do it) but I wouldn't hold my breath.

@BTM_Pix Looking forward to using the with my manual lenses and Tilta Nucleus.  I have the zoom motor as well.  I would be interested in having it automatically adjust the zoom based on the distance of the subject form the lenses, so it could do and automated Zolly. Basically keep the framing the same and the subject in focus when the subject moves closer of future from the camera.
Just for fun for those who might want to watch a few Zollys
 
 

The lens control protocols of those cameras don't lend themselves particularly well to direct positioning but having said that neither does the Pocket6K and we managed to develop a solution for that in the PBC so it will happen but not immediately.
A universal version that supports motors would be ahead of it in the queue as it can be used for both manual lenses on cameras that don't have particularly appropriate external control like the Panasonic but also of course for manual lenses on BM cameras.

Yes, see here
 

I can indeed vouch for it and the project is alive and well
Going to be interesting what happens next

Remember it ?
All the usual caveats of "absolutely not its final form" but thought I'd show a (very) rough glimpse of its (very) rough format.
Things have been quiet on it publicly because as I said in the very original thread that what was first shown was merely a jumping off point and it pivoted into what is now a very different product.
As you should now be able to guess from this image, it is doing something a little different and offers both AF-S and AF-C modes for, lets just say, more than one focus target  
The purpose of this thread, aside from the update to prove its not slid into Sony A7S-III territory, is to provide little updates on what is happening as we edge towards release of the actual product particularly as the previous thread is a bit defunct in terms of what its final form will now be.
I'll put up some video samples soon, although @Andrew Reid has had some over the past month so should be able to vouch for it actually working  
I won't be getting too much into the detail about whats going on under the hood until later on and I will be doing a blog post with Andrew to provide more insight nearer the time of pre-orders which should be in August.
FYI, the cables you can see are powering the PBC and not going to the camera so no camera mod is required !
So, for now, fire away if you have any questions if you have any interest in it but if you can please just keep it to general operational stuff.
 

Is there any update on progress with this @BTM_Pix?
Thanks
