Does the stepper model have a clutch built in so you can turn the knob by hand?

No Robin the motor and shaft are locked solid so the only way to focus is by the controller. This is why Ron made a 2 speed controller for them as they were a right pain to use for visual obs with the movement being too slow. They are pretty much an AP only setup and deliver highly repeatable results working well with autofocus routines. Your robofocus controller should plug straight in I believe.
