Customer Review

Anyone who has ever tried with long focal lengths to focus without the construction unit to wobble, which will not come to an appropriate focus system around. I have this tool ordered in the late summer of 2012 and it has since been in continuous use. And finally I can with a 500mm change the focus without it wobbles. Of course, it would have done a rig with a Folowfocussystem worth EUR 300-800 here, but if you are much in nature the way one has to build the whole minutes long on and set neither the necessary space in your backpack nor the time. Surely this is here to handle not so uncompromising, but it weighs no kilos and that is when you walk in the mountains is sometimes go and sometimes not interns this has the one drags the stuff, worth just gold.

The rubber ring fits barely. When I put it on the outer focus ring then the black lock on absolute stop. Therefore, I can not confirm whether it holds at smaller diameters - have since never tried and it will not for the time being. Getting the part there was hard work.

Today I need to find a small tear on the rubber. Well I'm not exactly squeamish to deal with this product - that it has so far held up well. Nevertheless, I will soon be a replacement so I do not order suddenly without stand there.

It would be nice if it would eventually be a version has not just one but a real evert Plastic clip that holds the whole together. But until then, it is - as so often in film production: improvising.

SUPPLEMENTARY 08/29/2013:
I use mittlerweise a second follow focus. Songs no longer exists, the black fuser from a solid plastic but a rubber. As written in the reviews previously, slips this time upwards, so that there is a risk that during the shoot opens the loop and the focus suddenly no longer mitfährt. Although the enclosed reusable cable ties may prevent this, but it is here for a quite cumbersome and the other more of a step backwards rather than an improvement!

But in Lowbutgetbereich one endeavors to for always looking for a solution and so I have found to this problem:

Remedied by a thick rubber band, which to the black rubber holder is wound. This allows these indeed make a difference sluggish, then sit but really fast to the position and not sliding back. Respectively the loop no longer opens.

I simply advise the manufacturer therefore instead of the cable tie two rubber bands from the skydiving which you used for tying the linen to put in with.

Because of retrogression I prefer one point again. I can recommend the product yet. For this money I have been able to find no other Follow Focus.

Catastrophic operation! Rank: 2/5
