$24.00 Fisherman Follow Focus

I love your FF. I worked on building the gearbox myself (which is a pain, I can tell you). Remember, not all lenses have the same barrel size. If you drilled one gear, it might not work on all lenses of different brands, I found that out the hard way.
 
Looks awsome. Very inventive. Great work.

I've got lots of praise for this. Except the reel part. Needs a knob.

Not unless you rig the way I have it (i'll post pics, soon). Yes the gear box was very hard to make one, after I did it barely worked.

Thanks, yea I'm working on the knob. All of the other parts work very well now, cosmetically it's needs some improving.
 
So is this going commercial and how much?

Definitely dumb to buy all the $2,000 FF when it can be done for less than $50.

Not in this shape, I'm going to redesign the case and a few other things. Then it should be ready. I definitely couldn't sell it like this, people would laugh. So as soon as I get some time, I'm going to fabricate a enclosure and a rail system for it. I'm hoping to keep the price low, this all depends on if I can work out a deal with the company.
 
I use a Indi Focus FF system and am interested in swapping out the foam wheel with a gear wheel and I think your system has given me some additional ideas.

Question: the gear wheel that you used a Hole Saw to cut out the center, will that fit the Canon FD 35mm lenses? I use all Canon FD 35mm lenses with a LETUS Flip.

So, if I can adapt that gear to fit on Canon FD 35mm lenses, I might be on to a cool adjustment to the Indi Follow Focus.
 
twocik ... serious ... hurry up making this work/look good ... i need to buy one. lol. btw, I love my ifocus adapter.
 
I've been so busy with a few MVs and commercials, I really haven't had time to tinker with any projects. I'm on a busy trip at the moment, as soon as I get back I've got tons of stuff I've made to share!
 
I'm actually making a case for it, and few other things. I'll keep everyone updated as soon as I get the case.
 
Here are a few new pics of the FFF with a wheel, marking board and a little ghetto arrow. I'm going to shoot some footage tomorrow and try and post it in a day or so, and YES IT'S VERY SMOOTH!!!

It's hard to see in the pics, i'd love to see that thing in person, just to see how cool it really is!
