Looks great. Love the variable framing feature.
Can't wait to see footage.

You'll see a pile of footage as soon as the optical test series is complete. This would be easy if it was just one relay that we're testing, but we made a whole series of them. I won't get into why we did this, but there are quite a few platforms that customers will be using, other than the HPX500.
Didnt see anything that was camera centric - should work with any B4 2/3" camera

Correct. The camera we purchased to test (based on what we felt would be the most popular) platform was the HPX500. It just so happens we like the camera so much for studio use that we also use it for all of Cinevate's Video University shoots. Our Durus follow focus works great on the Fujinon lens all by itself and our Proteus rails were also developed for this camera assuming no adapter would be used. The goal was to make sure folks could use our carbon rails, follow focus, cage, Pegasus tracking system and mattebox on the stock ENG rig.
With all of the 2/3" HD variants coming out, the relay will see a lot of use on other platforms too.
