Add Opteka FF180 Reversible Comply with Concentrate for your DSLR steadicam

For those who are really qualified at creating films, amazing cameras and DSLR steadicams are by far the most simple desires. Some other accessories like matte box, HD monitor, viewfinder and adhere to focus are also playing vital roles each of the time. And nowadays I'll advise you a adhere to concentrate.

 I recently bought this stick to focus for my rail rig. It fits on my rails just fine. It came with only one particular track to place on your lens, and I need to order quite a few more in case 1 breaks, or I switch lens. You must invest time with it practicing your shots so you could get accustomed to how it pulls and pushes. Contemplating just how much a product like this would commonly expense, this is a steal. In case you are working on an indie film employing a DSLR, and you are creating a rail rig, then this can be worth the funds.

 Still we have a look at the features in the gear:

 Gear drive could be mounted from both sides for left or ideal hand use

Totally gear-driven design for slip-free, accurate, and repeatable concentrate movement

1:1 gear ratio will allow smooth movements for nevertheless and motion image 35mm lenses

Industry-standard 15mm lightweight (60mm spacing) rod mount

Adjustable slide-mounting mechanism to fit massive range of lens diameters, which includes video camera lenses

Regardless of what your camera, Opteka's FF180 Follow Focus lends your video production the smooth, precise concentrate control of a big-budget film. Regardless of whether shooting having a fixed-lens camcorder, interchangeable cinema lenses, or a video-capable DSLR, the precision-machined FF180 Stick to Concentrate method provides repeatable, accurate focusing. Specifications:

Rail Mount: 15mm, Rail Spacing: 60mm, For Camcorders & DSLRs, Smooth, Precise Focusing, 3D Marking Disk for Repeatable Concentrate, 0.8 Film Pitch Gearing, Weight: 15.6 oz (443g), Gear-driven Design, Easily switchable to either side of camera, 3D marking disk allows focus marks to be easily viewed by operator or assistant, Lightweight style and Constructed of high quality, machined aircraft-grade aluminum.

Overall a great tool for any serious videographer. You just cant pull concentrate as smoothly manuely then using a adhere to concentrate. Easy to adjust side to side. Only problem the whole rig itself becomes loose so you have to hold it down when sliding it side to side. No top down adjustment. It would be nice to have when employing a camera using a higher lens hight and or DSLR's with extended Batt grips on. Either way a good buy. I am satisfied with it. I would advise it buying its one of your best deals for under 300$. Concentrate wheel could be a little additional responsive. Blue wing nut matches my RedRock gear so that was a plus.
