  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

I know, I know. This has been discussed a 100 times.
but after reading all that my problem has not been solved.
i have a Scarlet with Red 18-85 zoom.
i need a follow focus.
I have 2 issues.
1- budget (max $1500)
2- the camera and lens are supported by 19 mm rods
i have been to filmtools & AbelCine but none could help.
the learned users of this amazing forum are my last resort.
i appreciate you guys taking time.
 
What about running 15mm rails from the top and putting the 15mm FF on that?

Or get a 19mm universal rail mount and look to connect the FF on that?

Or are you looking for FF recommendations?
 
There's the new(ish) Letus FF ($799) - looks interesting in terms of adaptability (good for wide lenses ;)
 
Where should I begin? :0) I could give you a list but alas, they make good stuff just not as good as RED. Not the same value, oh, and what about getting their hands caught in the proverbial cookie jar last year? Enough on that.. RED Rocks!

The learned users of this amazing forum, should ave been my first choice.
Thank you Chris for the recommandation and photos of your gear.
Cinevate Durs it is.
 
Just one question pls guys - Would the Arri Mff1 work with bigger cine lenses like red pro primes, cooke's or cp2's?
Thanks all.

Shapour - you should look at the Ofocus from Oconnor as well. Haven't used one myself but Oconnor usualy have great build quality and has the ability to change the wheel for cine or dlsr lenses.
 
Don't spend your money on other thing than an OConnor. Better wait. Your budget is close to the price. Have the 18-85 and the OConnor. Fantastic match.
