Never heard of the brand... Does this work with all PL lenses?

Hey Max

I'm very very interested , actually you can consider it sold .
The only thing I would like to have confirmed from you , is that the 15mm single lightweight bracket I see on the picture , is the long unit ,because there is a shorter one that exists in the full kit,but I never use it.

If you can confirm that , we are in business.
I'm shooting nights right now ,so I'll be available tomorrow around 1 PM. (Eastern time)

thanks

IT fits anything that's called a lenses,and it will fit where some others units don't .Take my word ,it s the bomb,just have to get use to it .

This is the rolls royce of follow focuses. Modular that you've never seen it before (zero backlash at the time was amazing).... Designed by a (at the time, don't know now - think ARRI has him as technician designer) 1st AC named Jim Elias and it's up to date considered the most clever design of them all. Unfortunately it's not being manufactured anymore as the pricing was high... but at the time it was also the best material (although fairly heavy). If you are on 15mm and want a system that can go from lightweight to studio version (are able to machine extra parts as for example gears etc ) then this is the unit, no doubt.

Usually in the start AC's normally hate it, as it's almost to modular, but after a few hours... when they get the hang of it, they can't stop talking about it

PS never used it myself, but had all my AC's mentioning it more then once (top AC's, I may add)
