Best Follow Focus for Canon L Lenses?

[Michael Pyon]

Starting to look around and invest in a good follow focus for my 24mm f/1.4 and 50mm f/1.2, so I'll ask the forum for opinions. I heard Cinevate was good.

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Yep, Cinevate is a great piece of gear. Price/performance wise I would say Redrock is the best. Heard good things about Shoot35 as well.

Redrock Blue:

get extra lens gears for quick paced work

I use Zacuto, and the optional large gear will help a lot.

Redrock blue you get the most bang for your buck plus you get two hard stops but my money was spent on O'Connor CFF One with the smaller wheel that has two hard stops. The ARRI F5 is about the same, a little lighter. If you can get to LA I would suggest try each one first.

Remember, you'll want a mattbox too that works with your FF.

Redrock is cheep to buy but also cheaply made, some don't care because you get a nice FF under $1k so how long do you expect it to last anyway?

We were really impressed with the Oconnor O-focus DM. Bit more money, but higher quality.

If you want to look at something "un-traditional," take a look at these: http://www.edelkrone.com/followfocus/

It has a couple things going for it that I really like. I'll post pics of my rig with one in the next couple of days.

Love the edelkrone link, Terry. Seriously considering.

O-Focus DM Photo should be #1 choice.

Look at the gear ratio (many are included), and the ability to use friction drives for Canon lenses. And it's expandable should you want to make it two sided, or move up to cinema lenses.

#2 choice might be the Cinevate Durus, but those rings you have to put on all the lenses are somewhat of a drawback. Very nice quality though.

I went with the O-Focus DM Photo.
