[Ryan Sauve]

Hey Carey, thanks a lot for organizing this group buy, really appreciate it!

 

[Tyler Bourns]

Yes, this is sweet! And great timing.

Hey Carey, thanks a lot for organizing this group buy, really appreciate it!

Your welcome Ryan, and thank you for participating!

By Fall I'll have the MicroRemote, Teradek Bolt & MōVi. I believe that is a "Gamechanger" Trifecta

 

[Loren Simons]

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to clarify that the microRemote does have Camera Run/Stop ability for the EPIC/SCARLET. In fact, we have a pretty unique cable that is completely self contained. It plugs into the accessory port of the microRemote Basestation and then directly into the RED Sync Cable.

Nice!

Anyway to run the finger focus deal from a handle of a steadicam system? (for those times you can't bring an AC)

Roy, that's exactly what we designed the new universal fingerwheel for.

Awesome.

 

[Phil Holland]

Heh. Don't change your game too much!

That cable is good news.

I fiddled with one of these at NAB and did not check, but is that a 1/4"-20 on the Handheld Controller?

Can I mount this thing if I need/want/desire to?

I personally would like to go for the Wireless Bundle, but also want the Universal Finger Wheel. I can see some rad potential there for both shoulder and sticks operation. Maybe even use the finger wheel on the zoom while on shoulder and also have a follow focus unit.

It is very inexpensive compared to other models out there. I'd say they hit a good balance between price and performance.

+1, if this can be done (2 Chanel), But I doubt

I was thinking more along the lines of having a mechanical follow focus and using the finger wheel on the zoom.

Just thinking about usage possibilities.

Just a quick question, is the new Universal fingerwheel essentially replacing the original?

Just thinking about usage possibilities.

Just imagine, more Channels in this unit = Best CHeaps solution for 3D rig

 

[Phil Holland]

Just imagine, more Channels in this unit = Best CHeaps solution for 3D rig

We can imagine, but it's currently a 1 channel design.

A good deal of folks just desire to control focus. I get why RedRock is tackling this market.

Full 3 channel and 6 channel FIZ would be wonderful and there's currently some stellar solutions on that front and I don't know if that's the target audience for this microRemote.

 

[Noel R.]

Great, I was already thinking custom rigs to hook this up before I saw this. I didn't conceive the thought of a one man steadicam operation till you mentioned this.

Edit: Just realized this has to be tethered so probably will not work on a steadicam.

 

[Carey Lee Coffey]

Just a quick question, is the new Universal fingerwheel essentially replacing the original?

No. It's your choice to get the original, the universal, or neither. Three options.

 

[Roy Rossovich]

Fantastic! Can't wait to try this. great news!

is that a 1/4"-20 on the Handheld Controller?

Phil,

Yes the lanyard is attached to the wireless handheld unit via a 1/4"-20 screw, so you can just unscrew that and mount it however you'd like.

Great, I was already thinking custom rigs to hook this up before I saw this. I didn't conceive the thought of a one man steadicam operation till you mentioned this.

Here's another shot to help you conceive it a bit more:thumbsup: We've had really positive feedback about this configuration. We've also made a custom cable to power the microRemote directly from the 3-Pin of the U2 Sled of the Steadicam.

 

[Phil Holland]

Perfect. Thank you Loren.

 

[Frank Weeks]

OK Carey, I'm in. email sent.
I am assuming we will be required to purchase a Red 3BNC-to-00 Sync Cable for the Start/stop Trigger option?

Frank,

That is correct.

Andy,

The universal fingerwheel will not be replacing the original one, as the original design is a bit lower profile and for those users who plan on just using them on our shoulderrigs, it is ideal.
