Any news from Redrock?

the basic prototype unit has photos on the redrock website under products. Once we get back from NAB we'll post some photos of the final lens gearing. We received them literally Tuesday mid-day so we've only been showing them for a few days.

Thanks
 
will the micro focus be useable with the DVX's focus ring? or is it made for use with the 35mm adapter exlusively? And is it made entirely of aluminum, except for the marking ring?
 
Hey, I got to get my little mitts on the redrock stuff. Very cool, crazy cool. The gears are big wide ones with no slop, tight tight tight. A great looking product ( and great t-shirt) Thanks guys

BTW the new Jvc can invert the image in the camera.
 
really? That's pretty sweet! I would like to feel one of the follow focus units. If they stay true to their words of well under 500 dollars, it will be a pretty sweet deal.
 
I also check it out very sweet looking handle great. Redrock said 650.00 would be the final cost when I asked them...
 
$650 for the follow focus? Are you sure? They've been saying all along (and recently in the last day or so on the RedRock forums) that the price will be well under $500.
 
I spoke with BrianRedrock asked him twice that's what he told me. FF plus three rings...

Plus three marking disks and a drive gear. All film pitch. We'll also have a lens gear for the camera only setups.

cheers!
 
Y'know, other than it being upside down, the M2 acquitted itself *very well* as compared to the $11,000 mini35... Brian brought it by the booth and showed it off and it looked pretty darn good! :)
 
I played with the M2 at the JVC booth. It delivers a great image. No questions. But it is still too heavy and bulky for my style of shooting. In my opinion, they should not have never put in on the JVC 100 it made the rig 10 miles long.

One thing is forsure though, the new units are pretty killer for the price and the image they kick out.

Also, the FF is awesome. Really great design. Very cool gear system...and dare I say it...way better that the look of dan's.

Well, when Redrock and JVC got the top nod from Showreel and JVC invited us into their booth, it was hard to say no :)

Seriously, there were some informal HVX and Sony Z1 + M2 demos going on the floor that were sized according to the camera.

Yeah, it's 495...
 
Just to be clear the $650 is for our microFollowFocus *Bundle*, not the standalone microFollowFocus.

The Bundle comes with marking disk, drive gear, and three lens gears (existing M2 customers get an extra lens gear at no cost). We decided to come out with the Bundle first since this configuration was the most requested option.
 
bvalente, no one has mentioned the new hd achromats and the now two different bundles, m2 sd, and m2 hd. can you tell us more???
 
Sure -

There is additional detail posted in the Redrock forums as well.

The HD achromat is a 72mm diameter achromat optimized for HD (compared to the regular 55mm Redrock achromat). It provides a larger sweetspot that is good for HD cameras, especially the Sony Z1 and FX1 cameras (we were speaking with Sony reps at the show and learned more about their larger lens sweetspot on those cameras)

So as a result, we now have SD and HD versions of each of our bundles, depending on which type of camera you want to use. We also have an upgrade to the HD version from SD, so you can start with SD now and move to HD later by just upgrading the achromat. HD also works with SD cameras.

We have tested with the Z1 FX1 and HD100 all with improved results. We have not yet gotten results with the HVX.

Does the HD improve the image quality of SD cameras?
 
Hey Brian,
Great to finally meet you. The quality coming off the JVC with the adapter looked spectacular...really impressive.
Also thanx for passing the DVD on to Taylor (the other Taylor:)
