    Does anyone has tried to use (mount) A BROADCAST/HDTV lens? such as FUJINON HSs18x5.5BRD?
    i would like to test it to see if they can be use for live broadcast with long range lens.

    Yes, it can work as I’ve outlined here:

    Needs to be at least 2/3″ mount with a built-in 2X extender and preferably HD optics.

    Thank you Marco Solorio. can you tell me if you use a PL mount or Lock mount? Also were you able to use the servo controller? or just manual focus? You see i want to use the cameras for a long throw, (120ft from the camera to the subject). How long did d the battery last it? or did you use direct DC power to juice up the camera and the lens?
    Once again, thank you, you encouraged me to continue in this process as many have told me that is not possible.
