WOW, Indifocus just stepped up their game - new product - new site

Just want to let everyone know that Tim at indifocus is great at customer service. There was a problem with my order and Tim next day the indiRAILS to me without me even asking. Now that's customer service! Very happy with my 18" indiRAILS, waiting for the Letus Extreme :)
 
Does anyone know if the handle is available separately? I would really like to upgrade my handle and get a speed crank. It would be great to know the price if It is available.
 
RAM,

Tim said, the handle upgrade is $50 for 'classic' owners to get the new handle [don't know about shipping].

For classic upgrades of the new gearbox and the new handle its $100 saving $5.

I don't know how much the lit handles are though.

He also says these purchase options will be on the site soon. But you can always email him in advance !

Thanks
Richard

Thanks alot, I already have the upgraded gear box so i'll definitely be purchasing the handle upgrade.
 
Thanks for the info all. I ordered an indiFOCUSpro earlier today. Just incase anyone was curious, I spoke with Tim today who informed me lead times were less than a week to be shipped.

Thanks for your impressions everyone. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
 
any more info on this?

if any of you can be bothered, it would be awesome to see a short video demonstrating the play. maybe the same way the freshdv boys did with the old model - http://www.freshdv.com/go/dvfocus/

RAM, did you get the Letus35 Extreme yet? how is it?
 
Is there a practical (not just aesthetic) advantage to the new handle that would make me spend the money?
If you get the new handle does that mean you can use the new square whips?
Can you use the Redrock gears with an IndiFocus? The RR ones look easier on the lens ring and quicker to put on.

Are you upgrading an old indiFOCUS or are you buying a new one? If its the new one then you will get the new handle anyway. Its if you want to swap your new handle for a light up one.

If you are upgrading your old infiFOCUS to the new handle, it does have the industry standard accessory mount [square mount] and this new mount is supposed to lock in the new whips.

Also the new handle feels better to pull focus with. Its a nice grip and feels sturdy.

And it does look fantastic on the camera. The handle is bigger than it looks on the website. To me it looks like an arri focus handle, but that's my personal opinion.

Redrock gears:
As the RR are the cine standard 0.8 you would need to buy the cinegear for the indifocus - this is a gear that's 0.8 and should work with the RR lens gears. If you are buying new and don't want the indifocus gears, then just buy the indiFOCUSpro basic unit and order the cinegear as well.

For me the indiFOCUSpro lens gears work just fine.

Anyways, enjoy !!

Thanks,
Richard

Anyone getting response from Indie?
Haven’t heard of them for a two week period.

Still waiting for upgrades.
 
be sure to use the hotmail address and not the info at indifocus one. i got a very nice offer because the classic whip is so dissappointing.
 
That's what were waiting for. Ideally it would be great for DV Fresh to re-review it along with the SGPro follow focus and any others that didn't have one ready at the time.

Already the new one ticks off the boxes that the old one had issues with. So in that respect it brings it right out of where it was reviewed.

Think of this unit as Rocky Balboa. An independent with the power to challenge the heavyweight champions of the world. Ding, ding. Round 01...

IndiFocus, RedRock FF, SGpro FF, HysonFilms FF - suddenly there´s a lot to choose from (or wait for :cheesy:...)
This new freedom of choice comes with the fear of choosing a bad product - I really hope someone takes on a comparison soon, I´d pay for that article...
 
I'm a one man band and really need hard stops. The not yet released hyson is supposed to have dual hard stops, what about the RR, SG and Indi?
