Title: System zero XL1 follow focus
Post by: fredjeang on May 31, 2011, 05:52:54 pm

Has anyone tried this follow focus? http://www.idcphotography.com/kart/index.php?p=product&id=167&parent=30
It looks interesting for light configuration.

The rotation will go the other way - great if you a a nikon man

What else does this give you ?

Thanks Morgan
I use the all Mattebox stuff with follow...but I find that in certain circunstances it is a bit overkill, thus my idea to find an independant and light follow focus. I'm used to both rotation as I use a variety of lenses that are different in that aspect.  The fact that this system does not use rails etc...appeared to me worth a look. But the friction stuff instead of wheel is what putting me the doubt,

I think Mike K from this forum is using one that I remember now. I'll ask him.

Cheers.
