View Factor DFF + Bonus

[Curran Giddens]

Hi guys - I have a question having trawled through the entire thread with no answer -

What bars does this thing connect to (15mm or 19mm)

Thanks

I think it will work with both. Curt said it comes with a 19mm to 15mm adapter.

More info here:

Will work with both...we will try to have the adapter at NAB. We didnt forget the 15mm guys

Curt, please take into consideration that the INCLINO mount will be low profile.

As you can see on the following picture, the RED universal mount is too high to pass over an OConnor mount when using the ET bridge plate on a ET dovetail plate (green line marks the problem area).

The mount of the ET bridge plate (right below the front of the camera) is way smaller.

The space between the rods and the silver lever of the OConnor head is approximately 13 mm. So please try to make your mount smaller than that. :biggrin:

That dimension you were asking about is 12mm...

Great! That should work perfectly. Thanks, Curt! :biggrin:

Hi Curt

What's the status of your FF?

It's so loud though...you can hear the motor? Will this be silent once released?

 

[Matthew Rogers]

Curt has already stated that the motor in the video was louder than the final motor will be.

Motor in the video is a prototype. The production version will be as quiet as ARRI and require no gear adjustment over time.

 

[NormLi]

Oh wow.. that's awesome. Sorry.

Got a question.... could I use this Follow Focus on another camera? It would seem like the mounting, ect. wouldn't be a problem but what about power? Could I use a D-Tap from a Gold Mount AB or some other battery, or no?

 

[Damien Molineaux]

Dear von Badinski bros,

Thank you for making a revolutionary product to go along with my revolutionary camera, I look forward to usinig them together !

In my opinion, the highlight of your product is the fact you can adjust the focus range, and make it longer than it is on the lens, ideal for using still lenses. However, how does that work with lenses that don't have a hard stop when you turn the focus ring ? For example the magnificent Nikon 17-35mm zoom.

Cheers,
Damien

It will work on any camera. We have onboard voltage regulation so you can put 12 to 24 volts into the unit. DTAP cables will be an option if you don't have a red camera.

Not a problem. If you press and hold the lens gearing button it will override the requirement for calibrating the lens... then you just move the knob to tell the system where the two limits should be.

Visited your website today to put down a deposit, but no luck...

Will you be making a mattebox, too?

What is the price of your motorised head?

Cheers!

[JVB]

We will take deposits this week for the INCLINO™ and ORIGO™....the Price of MIRUS™ is 15,900 USD

 

[Koa M. Stone]

Please keep me posted too, it's hard to keep track of your products here on reduser...

Great stuff, look forward to it.

 

[CVB]

We're tweaking our website to have info on all the products on the main site... we're also setting up separate store to purchase stuff. It should be pretty cool, Johns been working hard on it.

Remote record on/off?

Remote record on/off?

Curt
Will the Pro wireless FF units have Remote record on/off switch for jib or steadicam work?

 

[CVB]

Yes. The standard and pro will both have a record start/stop switch.

 

[CVB]

As promised here is the diagram that shows a few configurations of the Inclino motors and Impero remote. After talking to hundreds of people it was becoming apparent that everyone wanted to skip the low cost wired remote and hold out for the wireless.... so we've decided to make our first offering have wired and wireless operation.

This is just pure genius and a thing of beauty. Thank you so much for building it and giving it to us at such an awesome price! :biggrin: I honestly cannot wait to throw money your direction for this thing. You guys rock.
