Redrock microRemote?

Im on the reservation list from like 3 years ago and have not heard a word...

Yep, same here. What a shocker, huh.

[John Galeano]

Well, I thought they were shipping June 1st for reservation list people, but I'm on the reservation list and have not even heard anything about ordering. Pretty typical of Redrock... in fact, it's exactly what I expected. At least they're consistent with their delivery of BS.

+1 i'm on the waiting list too, haven't heard anything.

I can't wait to get the "oh, actually it's coming REALLY SOON" email again. LOL

Give it another 3 years before this thing is actually working in the capacity that they advertized (iPhone in the hand control unit) because they're going to have to re-design it for the larger iPhone 5 and smaller dock connector, among other things.

We've only been twiddling our thumbs for a few years though, what's a few more?

well.. actually.. just got a mail that i can now officially order... [just for the people who are on the list] prices are interesting.. but no ios control yet.. wired ENG style is interesting for adding iris/focus to your handgrips etc. http://store.redrockmicro.com/Catalo...ote-ENG-bundle

Yes it's close...

That's intriguing. I looked at this system at NAB and was moderately impressed, but they couldn't give a precise date for it going on sale - 'soon'. So thanks for the link!

I ordered the version with the full-size follow focus this evening; ordering was painless, I got an acknowledgment email pretty fast, which said order would enter production as soon as it was paid for (which it has been) and the email included a link to delivery status on their website which stated the current lead time was one day - so I guess they have plenty stock on hand. Should show up next week, I'll let you know the verdict!

I got my notice too. But can't decide... thoughts on iOS version Vs. traditional handheld?

The iOS version doesn't have Apple certification yet, and if the iPhone/iPod size changes in the Fall you'll be screwed. I wouldn't think of buying something that didn't have a certain delivery date... although at this point, Redrock has broken too many promises and I am quite happy with the Chrosziel wireless system that I've had for 2 years now.

The iOS hand controller is not ergonomic at all... just depends on who you have operating I guess. Most people will likely prefer the more standard controller.

According to the video link in the pre-order email, the iPhone controller will add $600 when it becomes available.

Anyone know if the motors will mount to 19mm rods? They only seem to show them on 15mm...
