Until the REDMOTE PRO comes out, Canon lenses are...

[Andrew M.]

Anyone know approx when thr REDmote pro will arrive? 3-6 months? A year? Longer?

Very good question......

Asked this Q in another thread, but didn't get an answer. Anyone?

Jarred,

Can you comment on the responsiveness of the Redmote Pro and Canon L Series glass? Could you 'competently, accurately, and quickly' pull focus with this system? ie if one was looking at setting a kit up and deciding on glass would you recommended (given the above) the Canon glass? Responsiveness though? :-)

Have the same question... along with how SMOOTH the focus pulling is. If you look at this, for example:

The focus "steps" like crazy. Is it possible to electronically pull focus with Canon L glass much more smoothly?

I'm not asking about the REDMOTE PRO because obviously no one's used it, but as a matter of the lens itself -- with the Birger mount, for example, was it as smooth as a physical FF?

Thanks Demetri, but yes as Andrew said -- no one actually wants to pull focus with a scroll wheel. Compare that to the smooth action seen here:

I'm using a Zacuto follow focus on Canon lenses. Works fine, completely viable option. The resistance of the wheel might feel better than electronic control (which I have not tried). I hope the Redmote has tension on the wheel, or an adjustment for that.

I'm using Zacuto bolt on rings until Nikon mount comes out; then I'll go delrin when I've tested both set ups. Gonna have a Canon 16-35 vs. Nikon 17-35 shootout.

Cant wait for that shoot out.
