SHOULDER MOUNT SYSTEM TO PULL FOCUS DIRECTLY ON LENS!

[Adam Levins]

I think the stinger is the one I am going to do for: http://store.zacuto.com/Stinger-for-SE.html

But I will just buy the Zacuto C300 baseplate and Epic risser and Zwiss plate. I will build the rest out with kit I already have. I am just waiting as I am slightly conflicted about going down the dovetail route, in that case it would be x of Allstar, too many options!

I wouldn't overanalyze it or make any investment until NAB, which is only a month away. If you get anything now you'll most likely regret it.

Last year NAB REDROCK had a focus nob for your finger on a DSLR rig and was motorized to pull focus.. Where is that?

Here is my shoulder mount system put together with Oconnor Universal Base Plate and some parts from Cavision shoulder mount system.

Is that it?

Guillaume, that is just the "Recoil" rig, the planned focus add-on called "Tornado" is not in store yet and there are no pictures of it around at the moment. I expect them to show it at NAB.

You can see Steve and Jens talk about it in this video.

Sean,

That is our microRemote fingerWheel system. The microRemote system still exists and you can take a look at it's status on its preview page. That would be an excellent solution for Guillaume, however it's still in development.

It worked great. I think its ready for production.

I'm from the 5D customer. I bought the red epic and it seems to me impossible to find a shoulder mount rig that you can EASILY PULL focus directly on the lens. The gunner seems quite hard to it. You have to pull it on the top...weird. With the clutch or the recoil (zacuto) you have the grip for your two hand and the viewfinder is on the way to do the focus properly...

Do you guys know a rig that would help me do that. I previously bought the GORILLA KIT from zacuto and I absolutely loved it with my 5D. But with the red epic, it's just impossible to do it.

Regards,

Guillaume

You can't really tell from just this one pic, but I can adjust everything to make it so that I have easy access to focus ring with left hand.

I'll post better photos later this week.

How's the front-heaviness of that rig? It doesn't look like you have any counterbalance.
