Options for Wired Remote Follow Focus for Jib?

[michael zaletel]

Can someone list a few options (from lower cost to top-of-the-line) for a wired remote follow focus that I would use on a 10' Jib with my Red One.

Advice greatly appreciated. There are other posts on this but they deal with wireless options and I am hoping there are better wired options.

In ascending order of $$$:
Bartech
Preston
C-Motion
all can be wired, not just wireless.

If you're not in a hurry, the ViewFactor Impero controller with their Inclino motors looks to be a great solution. Should be shipping in a few weeks. Wired or wireless operation.

The Arri hard-wired Lens Control System's pretty good (very fast reaction time if I remember correctly) - think it's something like £200/day?

Try Stanton, maker of the Jimmy Jib. They have a cheap cabled motor system, but it is a bit noisy. Usually okay for a jib since it generally is farther from the subject.

Thanks everyone. Advice greatly appreciated.

The reason I asked about wired vs. wireless is because I am assuming the manufacturing costs must be higher to provide wireless operation and also because the response must be better when hard-wired.
