Is this a standard 0.8 gear or something of their own? Unfortunately their focus gears are really pricey.

mmmmm pretty, looks better then my trusmt ff =)

It seemed to me they were implying this was a friction follow focus...? Maybe it was just an animation thing they didn't add gears.

Gears look to be 0.8 and made of alu and rubber to cut to size - priced at $40-00 or $100-00 for 3

After a 2 week+ delay, my FocusOne shipped out from Ankarra yesterday - should arrive in Shanghai by tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted with my thoughts. If anything the customer service has been excellent as they were very good about putting it on priority status - after my daily badgering :-)

I like the look of it a lot and that seems to go towards ease of single operator (no focus puller) use. However, it seems that two points of contact to the rods would really be beneficial for solid contact...

Ahh nice not seen those before, cheers.

Hey jasonp, just curious as to what was wrong with your unit; Received mine yesterday and right off the bat there was something very large loose in the focus knob(of which I'm guessing can only be accessed by removing the Edelkrone logo). In any case, the gears slip and there's no control whatsoever over a large portion of it. Customer service has been great and I've been very impressed with their Modula5, so this was something of a downer, considering I pre-ordered the FocusOne in March and was hoping to use this on a project this weekend. E-mailed Mert with a link to a video highlighting the issue and I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but in the end I may just look into getting the Letus or Cinevate FF because I need something like yesterday and can't wait until sometime in June for the next batch if they're completely out of stock and can't ship a replacement.

A little unsure as to what you mean when you said you can "clip" off the exterior side part with the logo; Just by looking at it, it looks like that part is recessed under the edge of the outer housing and I've tried fitting a plastic wedge under there to see if I could pop it out and off.

Okay managed to get the outer disc out, and indeed it was the two weights inside that had become unglued and were rattling around in there. Put some Loctite glue on them and they seem to be okay. Knob is indeed misaligned and I was able to separate it from the rest of the unit. When I inserted the knob and gear back in, I was able to get a snug fit and it seems like it all is well; however if the knob encounters a sticky spot on the focus ring or that particular focus ring in general is a little difficult to turn, the gears connected to the knob separates from contact with the gears in the housing and at that point I've got a free wheeling focus knob. I still sent them a video outlining my issues, but I'll wait and see whether I'll keep this or not.

Yeah heard from Mert they were releasing a revision and saw a post with those renderings and a review from someone who received one. It does indeed suck for early adopters; I probably wouldn't use a speed crank or whip but I can see how that port probably should have been in there in the first place; I don't own any Nikon lenses to use the reversible gearbox, but I just hope the FocusPro that was shipped out today is a functioning unit.

@jasonp

I pretty much feel the same way - it goes quite well with the pocket rig. I was offered a 50% coupon to buy the new one, but I used it on the EVF holder instead :-)

@peaceonearth

It's surprisingly stable. It is a good piece of gear. I would buy it again.

(I am talking about the Pro version, not the first version).
