I've done a lot of research on FFs. Who ever gets one, please report back on 2 things. 1) is there any backlash changing directions. Any play? Also, it appears more drag, tighter focus wheel is preferred by pro ACs.
I think I'll wait until they have a proper speed handle and whip. A speed handle is how an AC sets the ending focus for a shot.
I wish I bought it before the small price increase, but I took the plunge cause it seems like the price might increase again. I wasn't really intending on buying a follow focus until I had enough money for the TrusMT FF which costs 460$ shipped, but it seems like this one is well worth it. I am very curious however to see how the two follow focuses compare with each other. We know the TrusMT is very very good and that this is good so how much more quality do you get for an extra 300$ difference ? We'll see...
Yep but ordered on the 7th June, not shipped, no return email on update......ummmm, will wait but surely when you post stuff for sale on ebay you should have a disclaimer saying stock will need to be sourced etc. Will keep waiting.
Looking forward to reviews once anyone receives theirs.
It at least looks better than the DFocus, but the reason I'm not going to get it is because the accessory port is not industry standard. This means that tools like whips or speed cranks won't work with this FF.
Price won't be lower, I think. As for Chinese inflation role in all this... It is total bullshit. Wanting more money, better profit is real reason behind new price :-) He also want to reduce number of negative feedbacks and cancelled orders (price increase helps with it quite good).
@stefanos I think the price will stick... or it might go up more. Did you see the white plastic gear can be front or back of the gear box? This will work w/ 20mm or 14mm pancakes. I ordered 10 lens gears at $100.
Read item description carefully :-) the included flexible gearbelt can be used with any zoom or prime lenses with a wide range of lens diameters (any size from 52mm to 86mm)
Look at ebay and buy separate gear, they are quite cheap.
