MPR Says:
“If the Cabrio 19-90mm is the standard for handheld docs, the Fujinon Cabrio 20-120mm is the specialist for when you need that extra reach. In the world of unscripted television and corporate events, the difference between 90mm and 120mm is often the difference between getting the shot or missing it. This lens gives you that critical extra 30mm of telephoto power, allowing you to frame a speaker at a podium in a large Orlando convention center or capture wildlife in the Everglades without disturbing the scene.
The trade-off for this extra reach is a slightly slower T3.5 aperture (compared to the T2.9 of the 19-90mm). However, for day exteriors, lit studio interviews, or high-ISO modern cameras like the ARRI ALEXA 35, this speed difference is negligible compared to the massive benefit of the 20-120mm range. You get a true ‘all-in-one’ lens that can live on the camera for the entire shoot.
Just like the rest of the Cabrio family, this lens features a detachable servo handgrip. This allows you to power the zoom via the camera mount (or D-Tap) and use a rocker switch for smooth, broadcast-style moves—a requirement for many reality TV productions in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. If you want a cinematic feel, simply unscrew the motor, and you have a lightweight cinema zoom with standard 0.8 pitch gears ready for a follow focus and matte box.
We understand that efficiency is key for local productions. That is why we offer delivery and pickup services to sets across Florida. Whether you are shooting a corporate sizzle reel in Tampa or a music video in West Palm Beach, we can deliver this versatile lens directly to your location.
- Extended Reach: 20-120mm range (6x zoom) covers wide to telephoto in one lens.
- Detachable Servo: Switches instantly between ENG (Broadcast) and Cine style.
- Constant T3.5: Consistent exposure throughout the zoom range with no ramping.
- Macro Function: Dedicated macro capability for extreme close-up work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the Cabrio 19-90mm?
The 20-120mm offers more reach (120mm vs 90mm) but is slightly slower (T3.5 vs T2.9). It is often preferred for run-and-gun situations where changing lenses is impossible and that extra telephoto reach is necessary.
How do I power the servo motor?
The servo unit draws power through the lens mount if your camera supports LDS or /i Technology (like an ARRI AMIRA). If your camera mount does not supply power, you can power the motor via a built-in D-Tap port using an external battery.
Does it have a Macro function?
Yes. The Cabrio 20-120mm features a Macro function that allows you to focus much closer than the standard minimum object distance, making it excellent for product shots or B-Roll details.
