Introducing the OConnor CFF-1

[Mike Prevette]

Whats the front end of the ARRI Master zoom?

EDIT: Found it 180mm :http://www.arricsc.com/lenses/masterzoom_spex.htm

That means you don't need to take this follow focus off to slip the lens past it. (not that you would actually need to based on this lenses design) WOW

Very impressive -It almost looks thin enough to mount the Red Ones top rails - great for those super low dolly shots so our knuckles wont hit the ground .. perhaps not, but it does open a few new options. I will be at NAB to check it out, no doubt

Like this?

heh - just like that!

Here is my version :

...not so much :-D

Just ordered mine! Can't wait. Thanks Mitch!

 

[Tim Duran]

Mitch, one of the early photos had the armiture looking pretty glossy. Is this thing made of plastic?

No, it's metal. As I said in the video, that unit was a prototype and the finish of the final units will differ slightly. After Jim Elias did his brilliant engineering design then some others at OConnor worked with him to "OConnor-style" sexy it up and I must say that the end result is quite handsome.

 

[Curran Giddens]

Nice job on the video Mitch. That was all I needed to be SOLD!

 

[Alex Boothby]

Any word on when this is shipping? Is late April still on target? (I have not ordered yet)

Thanks

Thanks

Sounded like it to me when I put down a deposit yesterday. He said to call around the 19th to check on the status.

 

[Alex Boothby]

Thanks Curran.

 

[I Bloom]

Mitch the videos are great.

Any ideas about pricing anyone?

From the second link:

$3400 from Abel. MSRP: $4500

 

[David Collard]

Nice video Mitch. Streamlined with a lot of information.

 

[jimhare]

Gets better than that, order before April 30 for ANOTHER 5% off.

I have my order in, great deal!

[Sean Rawls]

That's a beautiful follow focus

Sweet! I can't wait...

But is that 5% off MSRP, or 5% off Abel's price?

$225 or $170?

 

[jimhare]

I would expect it to be off of their already reduced price, not MSRP.

$3230 would be an incredibly good deal for this unit.

 

[Curran Giddens]

Yup. Either one is enough savings to buy a nice Pelican iM2200 Storm case to put it in.

[Ketch Rossi]

Definitely one of the most attractive pieces of accessory that I have seen this year.

Great job on the narrative Mitch.
