Follow Focus For The 18-50, 50-150 Red Lenses?

[Dave Blackham]

FYI FreshDV has updated our follow focus review series lately, first with the SGPro SGFollow Focus unit, and today with two units from ARRI; the production-proven ARRI FF4 and the brand-spankin' new ARRI MFF-1 HD camera lightweight follow focus. You can watch both in the video playlist here: http://tinyurl.com/ffreviews

We'll have the Zacuto flippable Z-Focus review added early next week.

This is a great resource, thanks for making it available.

Viewfactor questions...

Any idea if the Viewfactor FF and wireless option would be any use to someone using the Nikon mount? Would the short focus throw of nikkor's render the viewfactor imprecise and unreliable?

Im looking into FF options - I've been considering Wireless to make Jib/dolly shots easier, but Im just not completely confident in Nikkor mechanics regarding all of this. Any advice?

We tested our motor against the newest ARRI FF units and found that they actually had more accuracy than the manual FF. There was visible backlash with the ARRI and zero with ours. When viewed in lens you have an incredible amount of latitude with our unit.
