Gauging interest in BRIGHT TANGERINE FOLLOW FOCUS

Not open for further replies.
Not to me. I gave up and bought the OConnor CFF-1.
 
I had a play with the latest version on Thursday and it really is a great follow focus. They really have thought of everything with this FF unit.
Everyone who is still interested in purchasing one you really won't be disappointed. It really is down to the fine details, the gearing and getting the smoothness of that pull perfect.
It's made so everything can be accessed and modified with gloves on or if any of you have thinker fingers. It makes a difference, especially with my fat fingered crew ;-)



I agree it's hard to wait for something that you were hoping to get earlier, but the last thing you want when spending hard earned cash is something that will fall apart after a couple of uses or if there is too much play in the focus knob and gearing.
The BT Revolvr is built very well and luckily looks very nice too.

Some times , good products take some time to evolve, and that shows that the company doesnt compromises and always improving instead of getting out there fast . Maybe you wait longer, but then again telling a company how to deal with their decisions and announcements , its not a thing to do, since being a customer is one thing, being a company that wants to insure their investment in a good production is another.

I think its a great product like Phil says above. Worth the wait.
 
prototype or not its a great tool. And if its great as a prototype it will be better in production.

Companies that look into perfection , care more to release something perfected rather than something that will lead you come on this board complaining that its failed. I always wait if I think its worth it , and there are always solutions for solving our filming needs while waiting.

I trust more companies like this, than companies that release products with a lot of buzz around them only to prove that then they need to redesign to V2,3,4 etc and the buyer ends up paying more at the end. But thats just me. Others might have a different opinion.

Hang on. I thought people on this list were entitled to a discount already.
At least that was the idea I got from Rob...

If you're already on the list that is true. Read Nick's post again... He's saying the interest list is closed and therefore no one NEW can be added to the list. If you're on the list, you have the option of participating in the group buy when it happens at the discounted group rate...
 
It looks like we might have to wait until NAB 2016 to finally be able to buy the "Revolvr" from Bright Tangerine.

Luckily mid April is not too far away.
 
Revolvr & Revolvr Atom

Revolvr & Revolvr Atom

Hi everyone, allow me to kindly introduce myself. My name is Joe. Some of you may already know me through email correspondence, but for many who don’t, I run all things pertaining to artist & public relations, customer service & marketing at Bright Tangerine. We will be posting an update about the Revolvr & Revolvr Atom towards the end of March, however here’s the latest.

First off, we have been mindful about our involvement in public forums based on a very strict internal company policy. This involves not posting, engaging or making comments that may otherwise seem like a bias or influence to our brand. However, it's time that we address your concerns that may have surfaced on this forum regarding our Revolvr Follow Focus. I would like to take the liberty of conveying this message in the most sincere, transparent & frank way as possible.

We all know there are people patiently waiting for our Revolvr, and as upsetting as it is to convey the same message as we have for as long as we have, our teams are still working as hard to ensure that what you buy is worth the wait.

As it stands, we are focusing on the last two components that are out of specification. We are working very closely with our engineers to resolve these issues. Machining, Inspection, assembly and analysing the results takes a lot of time. Time that we feel is necessary to ensure that all the tolerances to these parts are spot on & there is no compromise on quality. This is an existing pre-requisite implemented by our quality control standards. Given how high-end cinema and digital technology is fast becoming cutting edge, we are simply responding to that requirement.

The current estimate will see final field testing commence in March and delivery in the summer of 2016.
As for Revolvr Atom - The same issues apply, so once they are a resolved, we can plan field testing. The rough estimate is Summer / Fall 2016. The bad news is that we expect the retail price to increase. But the good news is that we will hold pricing for anyone on the original list and you will receive a discount in the region of 15 - 20 %.

We sincerely appreciate the support for all the people waiting for our Follow Focus. Our priority is to ensure that you are not inconvenienced or hindered by this delay.

As a gesture of goodwill, we advise that if your are in desperate need to have a follow focus, do what is necessary to proceed in your projects, even if that requires you, our valued customers, to purchase other brands. Some may regard this gesture as business suicide, but we have never done anything by the book here at Bright Tangerine, so we are going to break this rule too. Please PM fury if you would like to be removed from the list.

Our ethos has always been to look after our customers the way we want to be looked after, and our goal is to continue to produce top quality gear like we have achieved across our entire range of products.
Most of our long time customers will know that we have always delivered, and it pains me to see this delay as a first in the history of the company, which is an isolated incident.

We have a great team at Bright Tangerine, one that goes above & beyond to ensure not only do we love what we do, but to also produce gear we want to buy ourselves. I cannot stress enough of our dedication to customer satisfaction and we are passionate about maintaining high standards. This has been our ethos from day one. More importantly, we wear our company reputation & record with great pride.
For those who have been waiting and are still doing so, allow us to extend our sincerest gratitude. We mean that.

Finally, we want to thank all you guys on REDuser for supporting Bright Tangerine. I appreciate your patience & look forward to bringing you some great news soon.

Summer it is then... all being well.
 
Thanks Joe.. It was nice to hear directly from you guys. Well then, wishfully i could recieve mine by the summer.
 
Found myself wondering about this product this morning. Anything new? "End of march" update?
 
Hello dear friends,


With NAB 2016 looming, I just wanted to wish all of you well and safe travels. Unfortunately I will not attend the show but make sure you connect with Andy, Rob, Josh, Niki & the rest of team.


More importantly, I’d like to take the opportunity to bring you some great news! The Revolvr!


Since my last update, our trials have gone better than expected and testing has exceeded our expectations. As I’ve expressed in my previous update,


QC is a massive priority for us, so I’d like to thank each and everyone of you for the support & patience you have extended to us.


With that, it means that we are on track for a SUMMER launch!


Over and out,
Joe
 
Great news Joe. Thanks.
