How's the hoodloupe working out? I was planning on getting one with the LCD coozy strap thing, thinking it would work better than rubberbands and that it's probably thin enough to still turn the LCD around.

Do the rails with the mattebox get longer/shorter as you zoom? Cool.

I found the flickr stream for the ProDOF products and things looked awfully familiar.

Follow focus:

and the follow focus you posted above

Focus gears:

(which is in itself remarkably similar to http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.472981/it.A/id.433/.f?sc=2&category=865)

Rod support:

Are you a official reseller of these products shown on the flickr page or what's going on?

OK - cool, you are located in Hungary right?

The handle bar looks better placed for balance on the picture with the follow focus plus one wouldn't bump the forehead into it when using the EVF.

One more question, it looks like you've taken this one

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3145/2780255059_5a92d37968.jpg?v=0

and mounted the camera plate reversed over the tripod clamp? I was looking at it and wondered if that was possible and it seems like it is then.

Ben, the LCD fits pretty snuggly against the body when folded in, so if you wonder if you can use that neoprene strap with the screen outwards and folded into the body I'd say it will stay open at an angle. The rubber strings look like a better option for that position.

I see you have a myspace page, but do you have an actual website that gives more details on your products, prices, ordering info, etc.?

Has anyone here purchased any of these and can attest to the quality, performance, etc.?

Why no website? Why not make the info public?
