Best follow focus choice around the 2000$ bar? Arri MFF2?

[vincent thomas]

Thinking of getting the Arri MFF2 actually... I heard great things about the Tilta and O Connors too, what would you choice yourself?

I have mixed lens, still lens Leica and Contax Zeiss, the Zeiss CP...

Thanks

Best advice I can give when shopping for a higher end unit... Always check for used first to save money.

Im personally saving money and waiting until I can get the O'Connor O Focus Mini. Both DM and Cine wheels.

Well, yes , i have been looking for many week to see a single used ARRI MFF2 to buy.. But there is none apparently, i guess it's a good sign?

You could also look at the Arri MFF-1. That and the O'Connor O-Focus are my two favorites.

the shoot35 is a great follow focus for the money, bit less than you're looking for but is top notch, English company - check Timur here did a really nice review of it a while back, compared it favourably to some of the big boys

I used the O'Connor the other day and fell in love with it. The Arri is amazing as well....can't go wrong if you have the money for them!

Would you say the Arri is easy to operate? What would make me prefer the O connors to the Arri?

Not to belittle anyone's opinion, but when you start spending that kind of money on a follow focus, don't you think you should try them out first rather than make your decision on hearsay or someones opinion who has only played with the device once?
